So after a week, i decided to box it up, but before i wanted to copy all books etc of reader.. Plugged into the laptop, and was starting to copy files, when the "CHARGING" message came on the screen after about 2 minutes, and then it started to work properly again.
I think its a bug in the firmware... because my one has never been dropped etc.
I like my e-reader but i am starting to think is might actually be another crappy sony product.
Yours is a screen controller issue. And since it's still under warranty, I suggest you call Sony and get it swapped out as there's a very good chance it could fail sometime after the warranty.
