Thank you so much Jeff for your kindness and patience in answering my recent inquiry about a bricked 505.

I am happy to report that I was successful getting my prs 505 back in working order by following your instructions (the instructions under #2 worked for me). Your response (Jeff) led me to these simple instructions below--which were posted by another forum member by the name of Sebastius--and which turned out to be ideal for a technophobe like me.

Thanks guys!!!
____Here are the more detailed instructions given by Sebastius:

First things first. Download the updater application.

Then open the application with WinRar or WinZip and extract everything to a folder.

Then find the file prs505/eBookUpdater/assets/updaterAssets/PRSVersion.dat

Richt click it. Choose 'Open'. When asked, choose Notepad.

Edit the number, so 110018040 reads 110018041

Then close Notepad and choose to save.

Then start the flash application, PRS505Updater.exe, should work no problemo.
