PRS 300 doesn't start after shutdown
Hi Guys,
Can anyone confirm the following problem on their PRS300? When I do a complete shutdown through the settings menu than regularly it doesn't start up when I hit the power button. In those cases I need to reset the Reader and after that it will start up again using the power button. It's not all the time but maybe in 50% of the cases. Thanks! |

I'm having this problem now after having my 300 for a month. I shut it down last night and now it won't turn on. Will try resetting.
Update: Resetting did the trick. @diabloNL How often does this happen with you? Do you still shut off your reader or do you just put it to sleep? Last edited by xtine; 12-02-2009 at 10:11 PM. |

Hi xtine,
I'm very sorry for the late reply. I never turn it off no more I just put it in standby. This works for the best otherwise I need to carry a paperclip all the time to be able to reset the device. |

@diabloNL No worries I still shut my Reader off every now and then and so far I haven't had to do another reset yet

I've never had this problem, most likely because I have never shut mine down
I just use the switch and put it in sleep mode, with the insane battery life I just don't see the need to completely turn it off. Does not really "fix" the problem, but it does eliminate it. |

That's also my reason. My phone I charge every few days so I don't see the problem leaving the Reader in standby and charge it every other week or so. Great device isn't it? |
