When attempting to switch on my PRS-T1, all I get out of it is an almost instant orange flashing light at the power button. Display is frozen on Chapter 82 of some book and has not changed at all since this started happening. If I plug it into a Windows PC, nothing is recognized, no internal memory, no SD card, no unknown device in the device manager, nothing. The light turns solid red with still the blinking orange light. If I unplug the USB and press the reset button followed by the power button, the reader switches off after a few seconds (no more blinking orange light).

The rescue method with the rupor rescue OS firmware folder on root of SD card, and boot with home and menu buttons pressed does not work. Nothing happens other that the orange light starting to blink almost immediately...

I even replaced the battery. That didn't change anything. Tried all the reset methods I could find, absolutely no luck...

Anything I can try at this point?
