My wife let the battery in her 505 run completely dead and now the reader is dead. I plugged it into the wall and charged it until the red light went out and when I try to start it up it goes to the Start Up screen and the light turns orange and stays steady. Then nothing. I tried to connect it to a PC and do a reset and and restart but the PC does not see the reader. I tried doing a reset and restart holding down the Mark and Volume Up buttons but no luck. Just goes to the Start Up page and the light by the power button is solid orange. Anybody have any suggestions? Other than using it for a Frisbee?
