Well, I haven't opened the reader. I was just curious if you can do that without voiding the warranty.
Even though I used to charge it with a Nokia cable, and a cheap third party USB wall charger (which, if I remember correctly, came in a 3rd party Apple charging kit which I bought for my iPod), yesterday I tried that with a proper USB cable and wall plug (also with the PC) and nothing happens. I'm almost sure the way I charge it is not the problem, since the red light appears for some time, then stops.
Since I haven't been able to find the warranty, and the shop from which I bought it wouldn't help me without it, I think I'l go to a Sony Service Center and have it repaired for a fee.
