I rebooted my PDN with the restart button with a paper clip and the PDN turned off. But it didn't turn back on. Somebody help please.

Do it again..

 

[avenger425]

I tried hitting the button again but still doesn't boot.

Is the battery charged? If not, charge it. If it is, some have had to unplug and re-plug their batteries.. you can search for instructions.. they are here somewhere.

Yea, Light is green when the charger is plugged in.

Try taking the PDN to a dark room and see if the backlight was inadvertently turned off.

Tried it, didn't work. Problem is my novel is not booting, when I plug in the charger the light is on and I don't think the light comes on while the device on.

Still trying to find instructions to take the back off, anybody have tips?

I got the back off, Now how do I get the battery connnecter off?

 

[avenger425]

When the light is red does that mean its running on ac power?

If you are uncomfortable with the self-help steps being described, you may want to consider returning the device to the store for an exchange.. it may be a defective device..

 

[avenger425]

I took off the back cover and reconnected the battery plug, now it only boots when the AC is connected and the charge shows a red light. I'm wondering if that means if it is charging or running off AC power.

I am Returning my PDN as I discovered one of the plugs was disconnected, hopefully my local bb and b have white pdns left.

 

[davidr]

Sounds like a wise decision.. no need to start with a faulty unit.. there are enough "head scratching" situations without having to worry about whether there is a defect in the device.I think you will really like it once you get one that works correctly.

 

[lawman]

Red light does mean it's charging. sounds like you may have broken the battery connector, or the connector was broken."I am Returning my PDN as I discovered one of the plugs was disconnected, hopefully my local bb and b have white pdns left." Since that looks like what was wrong, it should work out. Keep us posted.

MY first novel wouldn't turn on after the first time I used it, probably had a similar thing happen. I just returned it the next morning and got another (and then that one got a bunch of cracks...).

I had this problem the other day, at first I thought that the battery had completely discharged and that I had to wait until it charged up, but it still didn't do anything. In my case, it turned out that I had somehow changed the brightness of the unit down to 0%. I think this happened during one of those times where it's was supposed to be sleeping but wasn't.Anyhow, I took the Power Control widget off my main page and replaced it with the widgets from the Ultimate.zip because I mainly wanted a quick way to turn off the wifi controller.In my case, I couldn't see anything in an indoors setting, and happened to notice it when I looked at an angle in the sunlight.Hope this helps someone else!Jeff
