PRS-T1 stuck in endless 'Opening Book' loop

Hi,

I wonder if anyone here can help me.

I started to install Sonys latest Firmware update to my T1 - Version 1.0.07.05070.

But the install didn't complete, it re-started and froze on the 'Opening book' screen. I left it for a bit hoping that the firmware was still installing, but after an hour I had to accept the inevitable - the update had screwed up.

I had to cancel out of the updating software as my ereader screen was now constantly re-starting to the 'Opening Screen' screen, but nothing appears in the progress bar, it remains blank, then after about 20seconds it restarts to the same screen.

With the constant re-starting, it's simply not connecting to a PC at all.

I've tried a soft reset - no luck.
Hard reset - no changes in the screen, so I'm pretty sure it didn't take.

I've contacted Sony UK and they're suggesting I send it in for repair, I haven't started that process yet hoping that I can fix it myself.

I've tried re-installing the firmware using the SD card, but the most recent firmware available is restore-set-1.0.05.11130-us. I;ve had no joy with this, possibly because I had the 1.0.06...whatever follows firmware.

I also wanted to ask if the little dot next to the SD card slot is an activity light for the reader, because if it is - I'm fairly sure that my SD card isn't reading.

I have to ask you guys........ Have Sony bricked my reader with their update?
Should I get it repaired or is it the same price to buy a new one?

Sorry for the long post - I was just trying to give you all as much info as possible
