E-books are handy devices that can store hundreds of thousands of books. Sometimes, like any high-tech "toys", they start to junk. Why do they do this and how to fix them?
Why the book can freeze
Malfunctions in the operation of e-books can be caused by incorrect software operation, breakdown of motherboard elements, liquid or dust particles getting into the case, or a banal fall. Sometimes e-books can take a long time to open corrupted files or files with an unknown extension. If freezes occur frequently, contact the service center.
If the book starts to slow down after you dropped it, immediately carry it for diagnostics. Here the causal relationship is quite obvious, most likely the device has received mechanical damage.
If, after repeated hard reboots, the device continues to be capricious, freeze and slow down, contact the service center. Perhaps the e-book needs a simple cleaning or replacement of some parts.
What to do
If the book starts to freeze for no apparent reason, you can try to cope with fixing it yourself. First, try a soft reset by pressing the Reset key. This key is available on any mobile device (tablet, smartphone, e-book). This button is located near the connectors on the top or bottom of the product. On some models, the Reset button may be located under the back cover. If within a few seconds after pressing this button nothing started to happen, the screen did not react in any way to your actions, remove the back cover and remove the battery for fifteen to twenty seconds. Then put it back in place and try turning on the book. More often than not, this method helps to cope with the freeze. However, if after restarting the device, the problem continues to occur from time to time, it is better to take the book to a service center.
Do not hard reboot your device too often. It doesn't do him any good.
Sometimes a soft reset may not be enough, in which case you have to resort to a "hard" procedure. This complex of measures leads to the disappearance of all data from the device's memory, so that your favorite books will have to be searched and bought on the Internet again. The point of a hard reboot is to format the device and return it to the default settings and settings. To start this procedure, you need to press a specific key combination. This combination depends on the specific model. Usually, the required key combination is indicated in the instructions or on the manufacturer's website.
