I haven't had to reset my 350 yet. But on my 300 and 900 I had to do several resets and they were a pain. I ofter had to hold the reset button in while holding the ON/OFF switch on. sony engineers dropped the ball on the reset for the older models, hopefully they improved it for the newer ones.

Before returning, try using an AC charger from a cellular phone or other device. Most newer chargers for cells work as long as they have the micro-USB connector. If for some reason the battery gets too low, you cannot charge the battery with a PC and USB cable--it requires an AC charger at that point. You also might have trouble trying to charge with a laptop if it is running on battery only. Best to use a desktop if you want to charge via PC, just ensure it isn't it sleep mode.
