Hi guys,

Have any of you tried unfreezing a 505?

After draining battery to about 25% I let it charge for a few hours, using the usb cable. When disconnected and turned on, it showed a starting up screen - which it never does. It's now frozen showing the overview of "Continue reading", "Books by title" etc. Half the screen is sort of toned out and blurry.

I tried resetting, but it was no help.

When turning it on, the light flashes red, and nothing happens.

Any suggestions are welcome... I tried Sony - they were eh, less than helpful.

Thanks in advance,
Thomas
