Reading lovers immediately appreciated the convenience of the e-book. In appearance, the device resembles a tablet, thin and compact. Like other gadgets, the reader periodically "freezes". Disadvantages of this kind are often found in modern devices.
There are many e-reader manufacturers out there, each device can be slow or unresponsive, regardless of whether the e-reader is from sony, wexler or any other.
Possible sources of damage
Knowing the reasons for which a digital book may freeze can help prevent further damage to it. Common sources of sudden device shutdown are listed below:
- incorrect operation of the software;
- failure of any microcircuits;
- internal and external mechanical damage due to falling or impact;
- liquid ingress;
- the uploaded file is damaged or has an unknown format;
- the battery is completely discharged (the screen may "freeze" the image at this time);
- exposure to cold may cause the digital device to malfunction.
If a breakdown is found, you can try to take a number of actions to restore the work of the book yourself, without asking for help from specialists.
What actions to take
If your book freezes, first of all, read the instructions and follow the steps indicated in it in this case.
Wait a while. Perhaps the device does not have time to process all the downloaded information, or several programs are running at the moment.
If the work is slowed down by downloaded damaged texts, delete them and load the correct ones.
Use the "soft reset" function. Each device has a button with this action. Her names are different. You can read the instructions.
Recharge your device. Wait for a while after connecting the power. In an unfavorable environment for using an electronic book (severe frost or, conversely, heat), the loss of energy occurs faster than in normal mode. At the same time, the image may freeze, and it can be difficult to determine that the reason for the malfunction is in a discharged battery.
Remove the battery and wait a few minutes. Then put it back in and turn on the book.
Sometimes the following manipulation helps. It is required to connect the charger and press the "soft reset" button.
The most extreme measure you can take yourself is a hard reset. How to perform this action, you need to learn from the instructions for the device.
It is important that after such a reboot, the factory settings will be restored in your book, that is, all data will be reset to zero and the texts will be deleted.
If the above steps did not help you, you will have to contact a specialist. Any service center should deal with this problem if possible.
In the event that you notice that the device does not work correctly after a shock or fall, or there are visible breakdowns, chips on it, you must immediately go to the repair service and carry out diagnostics. It is not recommended to make repairs yourself.
