I have just replaced my PRS-505 with a new PRS-T1. Usually use Calibre but am OK with sony reader software and digital editions is set-up OK.

When the usb cable is connected (tried in two seperate computer ports, 1 front port and one rear port, not via hub and also tried with a spare cable) the reader screen shows "USB connected." At this stage "My Computer" shows icons for three extra drives in my case G, H & I. Double clicking any one of these brings up a dialog screen asking me to insert a disk in G,H,I . If I then enable Data Transfer Mode through the reader the data transfer screen comes up on the reader but other than that absolutely nothing changes. I am using Windows XP SP3. I have tried resetting the reader and reformatting the memory via the reader format control, again no change. The usb cable through either port seems to charge the reader OK but the computer just will not recognise the reader.

I have also downloaded the latest firmware to my computer and tried to sent to the reader but I get a dialog screen asking me to enable data trasfer mode whether or not it is actually enabled on the reader. Existing firmware is 1.00.09270.

I am thinking about sending this back for replacement (a christmas gift from the wife) is there anything dumb I've missed?

Regards

Mike
