Upgrading firmware apparantly bricked my Cybook



Just tried to apply the 2.0 firmware to my Cybook. I followed the instructions to the letter.

It started the upgrade as I expected. The progress bar filled repeatedly and the all the dots were filled one by one, but once it had done all of them it just sat there with the updating screen, all dots filled and the progress bar filled and nothing happened.

It still hadn't changed after an hour so I tried to reboot it and now it won't get off the initial Cybook Gen 3 screen and it won't attempt to reflash the firmware either.

Very annoyed. I guess I need to contact Bookeen and see whether they'll repair it, though of course it's now out of warranty (it's 20 months old) and I guess they'll want to charge me.
