Hi,
my PB742 can not start up now. The OS is Android 8.1. It shows the PocketBook logo but without boot process bar. I installed KoReader app which is latest version(2024.03.1) yesterday. Does it have anything to do with it? How can I wake up my ereader? Tks. |

PB742 doesn't use Android, it's Linux based: https://pocketbook.ch/en-ch/catalog/...pad-color-2-ch
Try connecting your Pocketbook to the charger and leave for a while. Then try to turn on again; if it doesn't work, hold the power button for 10 seconds, it'll force restart it. |

I have no experience with Android ereaders, but I imagine they must behave similarly to other Android devices in boot-failure/frozen scenarios.
Try a different USB cable and charger. Try holding the power button down for longer, perhaps 30 seconds. Is there any documentation with the device as regards performing a reset? There's usually a button combination to hold down. For (I think) all my Android phones it's been either VOL+ or VOL- (both even?) held at the same time as PWR. Maybe worth a shot.

When you hold down the "right + "left" keys, nothing happens?
If it is PB (Linux) and it works when connected via USB, you can force a factory reset. |

No document for me. There are no VOL button on the Ereader. BTW, the customer services team have reseted my Ereader. |
