PRS 505 not displaying SD card content
I have a Sony PRS 505 with a 2GB Transcend SD card.
Everything was working fine. Once while Xfering content using the slibrary /w, I later removed the device and it suddenly does not show the SD card content (only shows internal memory ones). I did try formatting first using FAT (and then FAT32). While the SD card does show under My Computer with all the pdf files, when I insert it into my laptop card reader, the PRS device will not show card content. I have tried everthying that I was told by Sony people...Still does not help. Just to add more info (though I do not think that this might be the cause), I think the issue occurred after a. I updated the software to the latest from the Sony site (around 15 MB). Not sure if there is a bug in this update. b. For some reasons, the "Safely removed hardware" icon was not appearing in the task bar and I had removed the Reader after shutting down my PC. Please help me. Thank you. |

1. Check if another card works
2. Try resetting the unit 3. Try reapplying the update (search forum for instructions on editing PRSVersion.dat) |

Thanks for replying..
1. I tried another SD card. It works. 2. Resetting did not help (tried 2-3 times) 3. I am not sure how to reapply the update. Did not find much info about that here. Another info: SD card content shows up in the eBook Library software, but not on the device. Also, what formatting works for the card (FAT / FAT32) ? Thank you. |

If another card works then it's likely something's wrong with the card. Try Panasonic format utility.

ok...I'll try that...Thank you so much...
You say that something's wrong with the card...But, as I told, I can access it's content from; a. the ebook library s/w and b. by inserting it in the card reader slot of my laptop So, is it still defective? |
