First off, I initially charged it with the supplied usb cable plugged into my desktop. I was using the computer the whole time so it did not hibernate or shut off and I disconnected the reader when the message said charging complete. Not very complicated. After that I used the AC adapter that I purchased from Sony along with my reader and yes it is the correct one. I followed the directions that were in the users guide on the reader. This was not my first Sony Reader. I had the PRS-700 for almost 2 years and sold it to upgrade to the new one.
Secondly, if you read my post it does not say that I am having the same problems with the second PRS-650 that they sent as a replacement. That one has the message "Test Mode Available" in the upper left corner all the time except starting up and sleep mode.
I did contact Sony about the test mode and they had me do a soft reset and when that did not work they said it was a hardware issue and I would have to call the Laredo office to ask for another replacement.
