Reader just went dead
My digital reader suddenly went dead. I was reading a pdf, when the reader froze. Pressing the reset button did not do anything. So, I just felt it aside for about a week.
After a week, I tried to recharge it, and it froze again during recharging. I removed it from charging and left it aside for a two three days. Now, when I try to recharge it, nothing happens. Pressing the reset button does nothing. The reader does not give visual feedback that it is working. Any ideas on what I should do? |

It sounds rather as if it's a battery problem, doesn't it? I suspect that, unfortunately, you're going to have to send it back to iRex.

I'd try an external charger first. Plug in, wait around 10mins. Hit the reset & see if that works else try once more. If still no luck, then raise a ticket with iRex.
I've found them helpful and if it does need to go back, it is a relatively smooth process. Howard |

No, I certainly don't have any "inside information"

En....that's right. And I got terrified when seeing their terrible experiences. It is easy for me there are bugs that may be improved later, but rise a ticket......O...should be terrible.

The return to irex and then back to myself was 3 weeks in total. Took a day for the UPS returns box to arrive so effectively 1 day to email and get confirmation a return was needed, the next day the box was with me. I sent it off the following day and just over 2 weeks later it came back.
