As kartu says

Have you really done "hard-resets" (Sony_Reader_Start-Up_and_Reset_Guide or just pressed the reset-botton?

Difference is: soft-rest (pressing reset-button and flipp the power-switch) is a cold restart of the OS - with unchanged file-system, while a true "hard-reset" with holding down buttons while restarting resets the device to factory-defaults and formats IM)

Have you ever tried to format IM?


For what it's worth:
stop thinking, stop worrying,
do a true hard-reset and try installing from a SD-Card, that's the way it is/was done thousends of times.

Good luck
Mark
Thanks

No I just pushed the reset button. I will not have time today but I will try a hard reset tomorrow.

I did try to format the IM a few days ago, but once again all that happened was the "!" icon was displayed for about an hour or so. How long should formatting take?
