The device does not start anymore.
I had it working for around one year without problems. However it was bought on 11.2013, but used beginning of 04.2015.

If I press the power button nothing happens.
If I press the reset button and afterwards the power butten the only thing I get is 6 yellow flashes of the led.
Nothing on the display or something.
I charged the reader with the charger for several hours (the red led is on for some minutes).
I charged the reader via USB for several hours.
Nothing helps.
Is is possible that the battery is dead? How can I check it (battery voltage?).
If this is the case I found on ebay Germany and UK a replacement battery for around 12 EUR and I will swap it (soldering required, I know).

Any ideas?
