Access to most types of information for humans is now greatly simplified with the help of modern technologies. For example, in order to have a small library on hand, it is enough to purchase an e-book. However, the reader, like many other types of equipment, is not immune from malfunctions and malfunctions. One of the most common problems that owners of electronic reading devices encounter from time to time is the inability to turn on the device. This article will discuss the main reasons why the reader may not start, as well as tips for fixing problems.
Why the e-book does not turn on
Traditionally, experts share the causes of problems with the inclusion of electronic books on hardware and software. Software may include:
- crashes in the device OS;
- memory card malfunctions.
As for the hardware reasons, then they include:
- malfunctions of the "charger";
- input faults;
- inoperative device battery;
- malfunction of the power button;
- mechanical damage, exposure to either moisture or high temperature on the internal elements of the device.
What to do if the e-book does not turn on
If the reader does not turn on, the first thing to do is make sure that it is not discharged. When connected to the network, it is worth checking the integrity of the cable, the serviceability of the inputs and connectors of the device. In order to know for sure that the reason lies not in the cable malfunction, it is worth trying to charge the device using another, working "charger".
If everything is in order with the charge, it is worth trying to press and hold the power button for 15-20 seconds. In some cases, this helps the device wake up. If this does not work, you can try to click the reset button, which is located on one of the side panels of the book.
Important!Some manufacturers deliberately place a reset button in the recess to avoid accidentally pressing it. Therefore, pressing a button may require a sharp, thin object.
If the problem lies in the memory card, the reader can start without it. At the same time, you should not throw out the faulty card, because you can return it to work using formatting or special software.
One of the most effective options for eliminating software failures is the so-called Hard reset - a deep reboot function with a rollback to the settings set by the manufacturer. In order to perform such a reboot, it is worth looking into the device’s user manual and find out the necessary key combination.
Important!This type of reboot erases all the data in the device’s memory, but it does not affect the data stored on the memory card.
If the "hard reset" did not make the reader work, then you can try to reflash it. Sometimes the instructions for correct flashing are given in the same user manual, but if you can’t find it there, you can try to search for such instructions and the necessary software for flashing on the Internet on the official website of the manufacturer.
