Not detecting PRS-600 under XP SP3
I have been using Calibre for many many years with my PRS-500. I got a shiny new PRS-600 and its not being detected while my PRS-500 is. The new device works perfectly with Sony reader software on another computer, I do not have the reader software on this computer. This computer does popup the two device drives.
I have the latest Calibre and firmware for the PRS-600. I have also rebooted several times the computer and reader. Here is the debug information with it unplugged: Version: 0.7.23 USB devices on system: [u'usb\\root_hub&vid10de&pid0067&rev00a3', u'usb\\root_hub&vid10de&pid0067&rev00a3'] Traceback (most recent call last): File "site-packages\calibre\devices\scanner.py", line 69, in __call__ DriveError: No removable drives found Drives detected: Available plugins: ALEX ANDROID AVANT AZBOOKA BLACKBERRY BOOQ BOOX COOL_ER CYBOOK DBOOK E52 E71X EB511 EB600 EBK52 ECLICTO EDGE ELONEX ESLICK FOLDER_DEVICE_FOR_CONFIG GEMEI GER2 HANLINV3 HANLINV5 ILIAD INVESBOOK IPAPYRUS IREXDR1000 IREXDR800 IRIVER_STORY ITALICA ITUNES JETBOOK JETBOOK_MINI KINDLE KINDLE2 KINDLE_DX KOBO KOGAN MENTOR MIBUK N516 N770 N810 NEWSMY NOOK NUUT2 PALMPRE PDNOVEL PDNOVEL_KOBO POCKETBOOK301 POCKETBOOK360 PRS505 README S60 SHINEBOOK SNE SOVOS SPECTRA SWEEX TECLAST_K3 THEBOOK VELOCITYMICRO Looking for devices...

that debug output makes no sense. As far as I can tell, it should be impossible...

Please explain what does make sense. This is the output with it not plugged in and plugged in. Is there some other test you want me to run?

As per that debug output your device is presenting the correct info to the OS but it is not matching the driver plugin, which is enabled, I'm at a loss as to why

What should I try? Should I uninstall Calibre, delete directory and reinstall? Problem is I have 1K books and do not want to mess up the database.

Think it is worth a shot? I have had Calibre installed for a very long time with constant updates to the software. Could something messed that up?

I did the install and reinstall and its the same. Is there anything else you can think of? I would like to help debug this if I know more what the problem is. I see that it find the two PRS-600 drives, what is the problem?
Below is the debug with it plugged in: Version: 0.7.23 USB devices on system: [u'usb\\root_hub&vid10de&pid0067&rev00a3', u'usb\\root_hub&vid10de&pid0067&rev00a3', u'usb\\vid_054c&pid_031e&rev_031a'] Drives detected: (0) E:\ ~ USBSTOR\DISK&VEN_SONY&PROD_PRS-600&REV_1.00\0800461000C2AFF9&0 (3) H:\ ~ USBSTOR\DISK&VEN_SONY&PROD_PRS-600_LAUNCHER&REV_1.00\0800461000C2AFF9&3 Available plugins: ALEX ANDROID AVANT AZBOOKA BLACKBERRY BOOQ BOOX COOL_ER CYBOOK DBOOK E52 E71X EB511 EB600 EBK52 ECLICTO EDGE ELONEX ESLICK FOLDER_DEVICE_FOR_CONFIG GEMEI GER2 HANLINV3 HANLINV5 ILIAD INVESBOOK IPAPYRUS IREXDR1000 IREXDR800 IRIVER_STORY ITALICA ITUNES JETBOOK JETBOOK_MINI KINDLE KINDLE2 KINDLE_DX KOBO KOGAN MENTOR MIBUK N516 N770 N810 NEWSMY NOOK NUUT2 PALMPRE PDNOVEL PDNOVEL_KOBO POCKETBOOK301 POCKETBOOK360 PRS505 README S60 SHINEBOOK SNE SOVOS SPECTRA SWEEX TECLAST_K3 THEBOOK VELOCITYMICRO Looking for devices...

Random thought: make sure that the drive E: (the device's main memory) is not also allocated to a network drive that may or may not be connected. My concern is the wide split between the memory drive and the launcher drive. They are normally next to each other.

the only thig I can think of is you have an outdated version of prs505/driver.py in your installation folder. After uninstalling make sure you delete the installation folder using windows explorer to mke sure it is cleaned out.

Hello ... after I uninstalled the software the calibre directory was removed. Is that what you mean by installation folder? Is there someplace else the driver was installed. I remember with the PRS-500 you needed to run a bat file to install the driver.
Thanks! UPDATE: Ok installed it on another computer, that had the Sony library software and it worked. Do you need to have the software installed? I read in another post where you said you didn't. Also went through the registry and there are lots of references to sony reader. Also deleted the entries in device manager when the device is plugged in and rebooted and had them redetected, still did not work. Last edited by vinniet; 10-12-2010 at 09:28 PM. |

No it doesn't need the software. There's something weird with your machine. Unfortunately, not being a windows expert I can't really help you find out what it is.
