PocketBook TL3 (626) not starting

js305 · 11-25-2019, 06:12 AM

Hello fellow ebook readers, this is my first post here and already with a problem.

So TL;DR is that reader is not working properly, it lid up the screen upon pressing power button and it switch off when long-press power button. But only this, not displaying anything.

Longer version of problem is that it started last week with frozen screensaver (book cover). I tried to revive or switch off but nothing worked. I found on YT instruction how to reset device https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYZkDtq2KQQ and tried it. Well it kind of worked but only got home screen and still not being able to do anything (no touch, no buttons, no switch off). Then after numerous tries it went to current state when only display switch on or off. Contacted service, they send latest firmware but I don't even know if device is recognising card since not showing anything on display.

I was wondering if I could try clone boot card but it doesn't make sense since sd card is visible on Windows and I can copy test file to both partitions.

Please let me know if it is something else to try, I already bought new one (TL4 627) but would like to revive this one too.

I don't see edit button so I have to correct one: lit up not lid up the screen, so the screen is glowing constantly until I press switch off long enough.

When I opened back cover first time there were couple of drops of some liquid (water?)
