UPDATE: Checked the S/N while I had the battery out and it is 100076....etc so that note from nookdevs about B&N's latest Trickery should not apply th this machine ????? Also was working fine when I put it on charge but the wifi was on I guess so could B/n have invaded it and tricked it up
(In the dead of night ) ????

FIXED FIXED FIXED


Reinstalled Nookdevs latest root and the touch screen came back now I can control it again....

YEA !!!!

how did you 'reinstall' nookdevs? maybe that would help me. My nook is black and won't open up

After powerup I had a black screen and little status bar at top of screen still showing...
showing Wi-fi, battery status icon and the time....
No touch screen lit
(that was the real problem no way to control the nook)
after a time out period.. Main screen showed screen saver but there was no way to control the nook so there it sat... I I tried to wake it up... Black screen again.....

So I Turned the nook OFF.

Powered it back up while I held down that (left-Arrow) < (Right side pageback)
Button. NOOK-Devs' current root re-installed from the SDHC card and
"God Bless America!" everything came back on. I think it was the fault of the Wi_Fi being left on overnight while the charger was connected to the nook. Either something came in on the wifi or a data bit was lost somewhere in the OS....somehow. Hope this helps.
