My wife bought me this Sony Reader for Christmas last month, and I love it. However, a few days ago the battery ran low and the unit powered off. I plugged it into the USB charger and saw that it was connected to the computer and let it charge. After a couple hours, I came back and ejected it but it still wouldn't turn on. When I plugged it back into the computer, it didn't even register a connection. I started looking for any similar problems other people had with this reader and found that some people had to buy the AC charger for the PSP and that worked fine. So I went to GameStop today and bought the charger, came home and plugged it in. It sat with the red light on for about 10 min and then the light turned off. It still won't turn on. I'm getting irritated now lol.. Anybody have any suggestions?
