    Download imx_usb_loader and the uboot_2009-08-lab126_wario_usb_fastboot.bin image from this thread then run this command in a shell: imx_usb uboot_2009-08-lab126_wario_usb_fastboot.bin. If it appears as a Fastboot device, the problem is likely to be software related and you might be able to recover the device. If nothing happens, it's probably hardware failure. Feel free to create a thread on MR if you need more assistance.

    Good news is that you can't trully brick a reMarkable v1 unless you break the hardware. I 'bricked' my reMarkable v1 before and used a tool to boot the CPU into recovery mode to load a new kernel over the usb port[1].

    Using this mode, I was able to unbrick it but it's a complex process so it's not for the faint of heart. It's still good to know that with enough elbow grease, you can always unbrick a remarkable.
