Hi everyone

I would appreciate some help with this problem which occurred just 2 days after purchasing the Sony 505 ereader.

The screen has become frozen while displaying the "Starting up" message/.
\and has remained like that fro several days.

soft resets just blank the screen temporarily then it freezes again.

I have not been able to get a hard reset to work. (I'm not sure that the instructions i was followint applied to the 505 as well as the 500).

I have tried recharging on a mains charger for several hours but this has not made any difference. I have also tried resetting while connectd to PC via USB.

What should I try next ?

many thanks
