Hi, erika@ and welcome to MobileRead.
First, some more information please. Did you charge it using a wall charger or USB to the computer? Also, I did a search and came up with the below results... edit: link didn't work new link to try for information: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=49735 As you will notice from the various answers in the "frozen threads", when the battery is totally dead it seems to require a full, long charge - usually quicker with a wall charger (Sony or a PSP charger). Then various reset and / hold button / etc options can be tried if needed. But, the full charge must be first. I hope this helps. Please let us know how it goes.

Yea!!! Glad that you got your "baby" up and running again! Now, go read like mad and don't let the battery get below 2 bars again
P.S. I use a wall charger for recharging when I am at 2 bars so that I don't have to wait too long to read again. |
