Not that I did anything peculiar...switching between a note and PDF or rebooting after a document closed after error but left a bogus tag on the sidebar didn't seem much of a big deal....or so I thought.
But now my DR800 stays on green light and the booting page without the little dots in the center circle running (if you know what I mean). I am not sure if this is a software problem or hardware one. I tried three SD cards, each formatted and with firmware copied. I pulled the battery in and out for I don't know how many times. I rebooted the device over and over again. Nothing works. All I got is that stupid green light and the horribly hollow circle under that reading guy.
It's almost half past 2 in the morning here but I can't go asleep. I love my DR800 and I read it every night until I fall asleep and it falls down my hands (doesn't take long, though.) How do I ever sleep again without my DR800! (just half a year old...still beats all the new machines I've heard of on the market. Can't think of anything I'd like for a replacement...well, if Sony made a 8" machine, that would be another story.)
Please please does someone have a clue what might help here? With Irex gone, you guys are my only hope. Please someone bring back my DR800 to me! Half a year is too soon to say goodbye!!
