I have a PRS-505 which is frozen.

The battery was allowed to run down and the screen was showing the Reader menu with a twisty circular icon in the middle of the screen, with "Loading" in the bottom of the screen. I found the wall charger, plugged it in and left it charging until the red light next to the charger port went out. (Should indicate fully charged batteries.)

I can't power the device on (or off, it's not clear what its present state is) and inserting a paper clip into the reset hole in the back of the device doesn't change anything.

Any suggestions?
