Can't Register
I am UK based and have a nook glowlight( not simple touch)model BNRV500 which I have had to reset. When I get to the registration page it now comes up with an error message because this model is UK and the resistration address for B & N no longer exists. I now have a nook which works perfectly well but I cannot use it because it fails to register. I would be grateful if anyone could advise on potential solutions.
Thanks |

1. Turn on your NOOK.
2. At the welcome screen hold down the button on the top right (page turn button) and at the same time slide your finger across the top of the screen from left to right. 3. You should now see a Factory link on the top left of the screen, press this link. 4. On the factory screen hold down the same button (top right) and at the same time tap the bottom right of the screen. 5. You should now see a Skip Oobe link on the bottom right, press this link. 6. You will now be able to use the Nook Simple Touch without registration. This worked for me just now. If that does not work then try this:

Did you call B&N? Do they still exist in the UK? What did they say?
If you're network-savvy, I wonder if it would register to a US-based B&N site? Maybe you could trick your Nook by hardcoding a US IP address for B&N registration into the hosts file on your router (spoof the DNS lookup that is evidently sending you to a dead UK-based B&N site). You could use a packet sniffer to determine the UK-based B&N domain name that the Nook is currently trying to connect to, so you know what you need to spoof. Finding the US-based B&N registration IP address would be tougher though. A phone call to B&N would probably be easier. They can probably manually register it on their end, if they're willing. |
