Is there anyway to fix this?
Hi there,
Thanks for taking the time to read this. I've had my Sony PRS-T2 for over a year now and never had any problems with it until the other day it froze. I read it on my break and work and it was fine, then when I came back to read it again at lunch it wouldn't work. I'm wondering if this is a fixable problem or if I have to buy a new ereader - which I don't really want to do. Attached are two photos of the problem, the first (showing A Clash of Kings) when the problem started, the second (a shot of the library taken today). Any help is much appreciated. |

Did you try a soft reset (sticking an unbent paperclip into the hole at the bottom)?

Nothing you can do. The screen is broken.

Yes, as Jon says, you've fractured the screen substrate - the thin layer of glass that's under the outer plastic screen.

This is why I don't buy new e-readers. Get a cheap used unit off of ebay.
