Can I ask if this rings anyone's bells ? It's a query from the UK that smacks of something faulty, but I said I'd ask around (ie here!) in case the answer's blindingly obvious to one of our resident whizzes :-

"Hello.
I have a sony PRS650 that SUDDENLY stopped working.

Yesterday I read, left it in stand-by, reopened a couple of hours later, stard reading but, when I wanted to chenge page it was locked. Nothing happend.
I left it like that all night and it doesn't go in standby,. it stays as it is, locked.
I tried to connect it to the computer but it doessn't happen anything (the computer doesn't see it) and to electricity but NO THING.
I tried with the RESET button but nothing.
What's going on?????? I have been using it for 7 month and it has always been perfect!"

I thought of battery, or recharge problems somewhere anyway - but I'm nowhere near tech-savvy enough, and I hate saying "ring Sony" !
Any suggestions, I'll pass them on, but I always advise, in UK , you should always go to the retailer first, not the manufacturer.
