If by "hard reset" you mean the process described here, then no, reformatting the ereader's main memory will do nothing. The reset already did a reformat.

BTW: both Kovid and I used Sony readers when we built the Sony device drivers back in 2010/2011. He used Linux and several reader models, and I used Windows and a pair of PRS-350s one of which is still going strong. Neither of us had any problems putting PDFs onto the reader. Your reader sounds like it is well-and-truly broken. Even if you manage to make it work again, I would have zero confidence that it will continue to work. I strongly recommend that you replace it if you still can.
