Reader frozen, Reset doesn't help
Hello,
I've got a problem with my Reader Model 500. The last weeks I had to read a paper book for school, so I hadn't time to use my Reader. It was all the time connected to a USB-Hub for beeing charged. Yesterday I wanted to use it again, but it just shows the "USB connected" screen. It doesnt show any reaction when pressing the Reset button. When I switch the power button, the LED just blinks orange once. Also no reaction when I connect it to the PC. Another thing I'm wondering of - I can push Power switch just half the way down - is this normal? I can't rember if this was always so. Any ideas how to reanimate my poor Reader? Best Regards Fabian |

Sounds like a flat battery. Try plugging in the wall charger for a few hours and see if that helps.

Yeah that was it - I din't remember that the eInk Screen stays showing also when the battery is empty - I thought it would still be active.
Doesn't the Reader charge via USB? Or is the USB Hub the problem? Best Regards Fabian |

The 505 will charge a flat battery via USB, the 500 will not.
