I want it to stay under warranty, and seeing as it is only a few days old, and only successfully booted once, if it is bust I want it replaced under warranty. The other aspect is that this is a Japanese version PRS-T1 with the Japanese firmware, which is not the typical subject of this forum.
We called Sony Japan support. At first they tried to fob us off by saying that we weren't charging it with a Japanese laptop!
But now a friend is going to take it back to Japan next week, and Sony Japan said they would collect it from the friend's house in Japan and assess it. hmmmm, we will see.
