I've had my PRS 505 for 2 yrs now, and recently i've come up with a rather unfortunate event. My reader won't boot at all, nothing showing on screen, nothing at all. I charge it using the USB for as long as it needs, till the red light goes off. Then i try switching it on, nothing. I repeat the same procedure, only this time, i reset (using the small button on the back of the reader) it and then try powering it on. The power LED goes orange, the screen blank as always, and then the LED starts blinking (orange again), but to no avail once again.

I have to admit that my battery has been showing me bad signs lately, as its life became shorter and shorter. Do you think i can do anything else or my battery is completely off and i need to buy another one? Everytime i start charging it again (using USB), the red light goes on again for about 20-30 mins, before going off. But still, when i power it on again it stays stubbornly off (no LED light, nothing at all on screen). Only when i press reset and THEN power it on, the orange light goes on for 20 seconds or so, before starting to blink (screen again completely blank), till it goes completely off again.

Thank you so much for your help
