Hi, thanks for the quick reply.

This web address - the one you listed - (http://www.iamnota.net/reb:flash%20recovery) was the one I used about 2 years ago. I had no problem.

It was only when I unplugged the unit, that the "flash" did not take. I tried it numerous times. I even left it plugged in a whole day, turned it back on and no problem. But when I unplugged the unit from the wall, I got the screen of death.

So, I beleive there's something wrong internally with the unit. The screen and battery are in great shape, as is the outside of the unit cosmetically.

I have three units, but only 1 working unit.

I'm thinking about buying the Fictionwise 1150 for night-time reading to supplement the Sony PRS-505 for the bulk of my reading.
