Last night I finished a book on my Libra 2 and went to open a new one. When I tried to do so I got an error about Adobe DRM, which was weird because all the books on my Libra 2 are DRM free. I tried to open a few of the books I had already read, and they all gave me the same error. I decided to restart the device, assuming that this was a transient error. After shutting the device down, when I tried to restart it the screen does not turn on and the light on the top right corner keeps flashing, but nothing else happens.

I tried to leave it on the charger for a while, and also tried to power up while holding one of the page turn buttons, but nothing works.

A quick Google search suggests that this may be a terminal issue and the errors I saw before I shut it down may suggest some kind of corruption of the SD card.

Does anybody have any suggestions on what I might be able to try to restore the device, or do I have a brick in my hands?
