For Karma....PRS-500

Red Alert · 01-23-2011, 12:24 AM

After an unplanned drop test my original PRS-500 stopped working. I found out that the on-off switch had broken. To my knowledge, that is all that is wrong.

I'm offering it for Karma, to someone who can use it for parts. If interested let me know and for the cost of shipping, I'll get it in the mail to you. If interested drop me a PM

I would think that the reader is actually fine. I dropped mine a few weeks ago and the power button stopped working too. It was just a misalignment problem with the plastic part inside. If you take the reader apart carefully make sure all ribbon cables a seated properly by taking them out and reseating them. (take off the clear plastic covers before doing this). Then just reassemble it and it should work.
