diy · 11-19-2010, 04:49 PM

Hello all, I'm new to this forum and new to ereaders, Anyway, I bought a prs 505 that has a defective screen at the upper right corner about 1 inch by 1.5 inches. This means I cant see the full screen for about 7 lines of the document. If I change the orientation to landscape I can read those lines then change back to portrait to read the rest of the page, I have to repeat this each time I change page. I have 2 questions. 1) is there a way of assigning a button to change orientation? 2) Is there anyway I can chage display so the first 1 inch at the top isnt used? I'm looking around for a bricked 505 so I can replaced the screen but dont really want to spend a lot since there is rumour of products coming out 1st quarter of next year with miralos screens. If you have any solution or a dead 505 let me know. Thanks
