I had the same problems last 2 days.
Yesterday I tried to strat it, dead. Started troubleshooting and found out the battery was drained. Plugged it in to an USB port of my pc and left it to charge all day (about 13 hours). Tested it the same night and appeared to be fully charged.
This morning I tried to start it and it was yet again completely dead. Charged it again via USB for an hour and it works again, battery is at 50%??
Now I got it plugged in a AC socket to charge all day again.
My guess is that it lacks to charge fully under USB, quite strange because it's kind of made for it. The real question is, is the USB-controller in my reader broken or is there a compatibility-issue with USB2/3 ports.
If that's true I'm sure that this would be the last Sony product I bought.
