Picked up a used 600, demo mode on
I just received a PRS-600 that has been used. It's in good shape, but is missing the stylus (any idea on where to get a replacement?), and it won't allow me to adjust most of the settings, saying it is in Demo Mode.
I've read around a little, and found some related topics regarding the 505. I have updated the device to the latest firmware from Sony, and it's still apparently in Demo Mode. I have access to a Mac and a PC, so whichever works best for resolving this, I have. |

Have you tried pressing the recessed reset button for a few seconds?

Here's a thread on a 505 in demo mode.
Perhaps the solution also works for other models. https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=44142 |

The reset button didn't do anything.
Patricia, the thread linked has a few links to some fixes, but they're only for the 505. I've already updated the 600 to the latest firmware, and it will not let me re-flash. |

I'm trying Sony's chat support right now. We'll see what comes of it.

Yes, I hope my problem and this post will be helpful to future 600 owners. It's a simple fix.

Did you find a source for a replacement stylus?

Not yet... I did a cursory search and found a place that had something, but it was said to only work with the 500 or 505.
