I suggest you try 'sideloading' a couple of books to the PW - i.e. via Windows Explorer. (Maybe you already did this)

If that fails then try sideloading on a different PC

if that fails then the PW or its cable is most probably 'the problem',
if that works then your PC is most probably 'the problem'.

If that (sideloading on your PC) works then maybe its the books you're trying to transfer. Convert a plain text file to AZW3 with calibre and try sending that to PW

if that doesn't work then we're back to square one
otherwise 'the problem' would seem to be with the books you're trying to send

I don't know what the ramifications of resetting the PW back to factory settings would be. I imagine it would be a lot less than resetting your PC back to its factory settings.
