Kartu, I have been able to "see" the content of internal memory in Windows Explorer. It says there is a file that is protected, but does not give a filename, nor does it say it is in use, but I did not have the Sony Library on. I have tried these steps with the Library on and with it off. Usually I handle my books with Calibre, but it won't recognize the 505. At least the Sony LIbrary gives me an error and a Status screen without anything in it. The updater, from Sony, finally ended successfully and took me to the Reader starting up page which is where it remains, just as when I started.

As I said in an earlier post, this is my wife's reader and I just gave her mine and I am reading on my iPhone. Maybe one day we'll figure out what's wrong, or what we are doing wrong. Life is too short to waste time on things like this. I mean, I have put in a lot of hours trying to unbrick this reader and that's enough. My thanks to all of you who have tried to help, even those who think I am an idiot. Things weren't so complicated back in the day when I was a boy...
