What distribution of Linux is installed on Pandigital Novel eReader PRD06E20WWH8? Is it possible to install any additional software for Linux? Is there any software I could install to make handwriting notes when readin ebooks? (I read that this eReader do not offer such possibility).

You can try pressing the reset button with a straightened paperclip of pin. If that doesn't do anything removing the back and unplug the battery. Leave it unplugged for a minute or two and reconnect it. Be careful unplugging it as you don't want to put to much force on the wires. You can use a small screw driver or tweezers to pry on the plug. The white plug here is what you're locking for. See if it powers on and hopefully it does. If not you may have to contact Pandigital.

Hope this helps

SOURCE: i just purchase Pandigital multimedia novel 7"

I had same problem-charged it, and the ereader would flash on, blink and turn off. Tried charging it several times and even tried to use it whilst charging. It went totally dead and couldn't even get it to power up.

I reported to Pandigital and they want me to ship to them for 3-4 week replacement. Needed it now for travel, so bought another. at Bed, Bath & Beyond. It had same issue so I took it back to BBB and got a third one. SAME PROBLEM!

OK - insert a few swear words here - turns out I was trying to charge the thing through the headphone jack on the bottom. The charging port is on the left side.

I've charged this thing before several times. What the ***(#@ happened to my mind!! Cannot believe I went through all that and now I have to cancel my support ticket and hopefully return the now extra Novel to BBB.

So, check where you plug in the charger...
