I never see a yellow light.

Just to follow up, my problem was hardware - after trying everything I could find, to no avail, I followed the disassembly instructions at
http://www.flickr.com/photos/2172951...7603454047408/ and at the point where one pulls the first ZIF cable, the connector lifted off in my hand. It clearly had been improperly soldered to the board. I don't have the tools to fix such a thing, so I now have a totally dead Reader. Nuts.
And I can't get it back together because the flopping-about ribbon cable snags on the way in. Aargh.
