Hello All,
First a big thanks to all the wonderful folks here providing knowledge and support! It helped me enjoy my ereading enormously.
As I have not encountered a similar issue in these forums I posted it in dev corner. If it is out of place; feel free to move it.
Three days ago I wanted to charge my, low on power, Aura HD while using Coolreader from the pbchess package.
I remembered it does not charge while coolreader/pbchess is active so I thought I pressed the reboot-button on the screen.
Then it happend; it went to the screensaver (rpm-gauge) and it has not come out of it. I had it on a charger ever since (two days)
At first I searched the forums. None of the common procedures worked.
1) press the reset-button at the bottom.
2) hold the power-slide for over 20 sec. then press the light-switch and hold the power switch.
3) same procedure as with 2) and repeatingly switching the power switch.
4) more exotic combinations: hold light and power switch for over 20sec.; hold reset-switch and light-switch; hold reset switch and power switch.
[edit] just found the link on depleted battery and succesful reset using light and power switch together; did not work for me either:

[/edit]
Assuming here :D : It is out of power and the charging logic of the board/reader has no power to control the charging thus it is unable to charge. Even though the charger is connected.
"Normal" devices ie. my tablet, phone, have a "trickle charge" function. So it charges very very slowly but you are able to get out of this situation. But it seems it is not doing that either.
The question:
1) Did I miss something? If so; please help!
2) If my assuming :D is correct; can somebody point out to me how I can bypass the charging logic and get some charge in the battery.
I'm hoping that I missed something; If not I will open the device, but I rather not.
Thank you in advance.
And again a big thank you for the help I've already gotten!
