Help needed!!!

Hello all!

I own a first generation Cybook, bought from NAEB and it works fine, I use it every day!. A few months after I got mine, a friend of mine decided to buy one too, but did not used it very much, because of the small quantity of french language books.

He recently gave me his, because he said that it did not work anymore... I love a challenge, so I decided to make it work... So far, not too much success...

First things first, I read about all the posts I could find on frozen cybooks. Armed with that knowledge, I tried my luck.

It is a 200mhz 64mb Cybook, I am not too sure which firmware, but it has never been updated.

Here is what I did.:

1) check the SD card, it was not corrupt. Tried to connect the Cybook to my computer, it does not show. Tried it again with my own cable which I know works, same thing.

1) Charge it overnight with the wall charger

No luck at restarting, it freezes at the fist screen and the green light stays on. tried the reset then restart, same thing...

2) Disconnected the battery for 4 hours, then tried it again, no success

3) Tried to reflash it with build 796fmt. No success I waited with my finger on the center button for about 2 minutes and it never started to blink...


Any suggestions, before I send it to Bookeen ????


My reputation is on the line!

Regards,


Georges
