OK; the latest firmware means you've sent it off to Laredo for the EPUB upgrade?
If not, try that
They'll probably fix it in the meanwhile!
-- Oh, you're going to anyway
Guess great minds think alike!

- Ran UF 2.1
- Press 5 - success
- Press 6 - failed (error while flashing partition)
- Power off\on - hard\soft reset - Stuck at "Starting up"
- Reset 10x - success
- Screen at "Updating Firmware now..."
- Full overnight charge
- Cannot trick updater into enabling "Update" button
- Screen still at "Updating Firmware now..."
I ran igor's ebook python script, but that did not help either. It did put the reader back to the frozen "Starting up" page, and a 10x reset got me back to the "updating firmware now" page.
I have searched for the original firmware without success. I no longer have the original installation disc to attempt a reinstall as someone pointed out in another thread.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
