This is a follow-up question to this post:
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=106645

I left my DR800s to charge overnight but I still can't get it to turn on and I can't reset it by holding the power button to the right.

What are my options?

I think that perhaps I tried to reset it just as it was starting to charge and that's caused it to crash. Is it possible that affected its ability to charge?

I've tried the charger and USB cable with other devices and I know that isn't the problem.

Would disconnecting and reconnecting the battery help? Is it even possible to disconnect and reconnect the battery or would I need to cut the wires and then resplice them (I can do this if necessary).

Would it be worth looking at the SD card? Is that likely to be the source of the problem?

Huge thanks for any help you can offer.
