Hello, I hope someone can suggest a solution to my problem.

The problem is this:

My PRS-300 won't turn on at all, and will not register as a device when plugged in by USB.

I have tried charging overnight from a (not sleeping) PC and from a mains charger that I bought to try and solve the problem. With either method a red light comes on for a couple of minutes and then goes off.

I was going to try a new battery but having taken the device apart and tested the battery with a multimeter it reads at 4.15V (the battery is a 4.2V not a 3.7 as listed in the service manual

So it looks to me that the battery is actually fully charged. I am out of ideas, does anyone have a suggestion?

(it is out of warranty)

Thanks in advance!
