Reader frozen / dead / not functioning AGAIN
It's unbelievable!
Now it's the 3rd time my reader ist either frozen, dead or not functioning. I startet the Connect software on my pc running winXP (no virtual machine). Connected the Reader via USB. Reader did nothing. No "usb connected" screen; nothing (but the blue light came when I pressed the mark-button) I closed connect - restartet it. nothing I deactivated the Reader drivers in Windows. nothing I waited nothing Then I used the "reset"-button on the back of the Reader and rebooted thar damn thing. Now I'm hanging in "Starting up..." once again and nothing happens Battery was only down to 3 (of 4) bars and in addition to that I now connected the charger. The yellow led keeps flashing (which means that the Reader is booting). Any idea what to do? Just try the "usual" unbricking "tricks" from the wiki?

I tried the usual unbricking procedure that can be found here:
https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Sony...8Unbricking.29 Guess what: I'm now stuck with the exact same problem that I described here: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=12544 Please help me. I'm really close to tears right now |

Have you tried to reapply the firmware upgrade (which fixed your problem the first time?)

I'm stuck with the "Update isn't complete. Try again" error. When I try to update the FW it sais Removing old software... isntalling new software ... "Update isn't complete. Try again" I also tried installing the 1.02 (or whatever it's called) firmware. And I tried the "change firmware number in PRSVersion.dat" -trick Nothing helps. |

My Reader works again!
It's unbelievable. I tried to install the old firmware again. -> same error message Then tried to install the new FW again (for the 10th time or so) -> works But I think my Reader will never see a USB Cable again from now on. I'll transfer all my books via Connect on a SD card. |
