So, I bought my Cybook Gen3. Used it heavily. But today, it switched on to freeze on the very first screen.
The one that says "CYBOOK GEN3" with green light and all. Reset it and switched on again. Starts up and freezes on that screen. Repeated several times.
Took out the SD card, and repeated. Same result. So now, I'm not sure.
I only bought mine in August from Orell Füssli in Zürich, Switzerland.
Maybe I need to reflash, just exactly how do I do that? Or should I replace the system files somehow? Which firmware would be recommended? If I have to use the SD card to do that, I probably should buy an SD card reader which sucks.
The Gen3 doesn't load as a USB device, so I suppose using the USB seems out of the question.
The fact that I saved money specifically for this device (yes, this one is a major investment for a heavy reader like me, especially of super-old, hard-to-find texts etc.), and seeing it react like that just weeks after I bought it makes me want to cry.
I'd appreciate all suggestions and help you guys could offer.
PS, if it's easy to solve please say so. I wouldn't want to send it away for repair in France.
