PRS505 Will Not Start

My PRS505 seems to have passed away. When I slide the power switch
I get a Starting up... screen and the light turns orange and then
blinks and then goes out. I bought an AC charger and charged the
battery till the red light is off. When connected to a PC via the
USB cable Windows Explorer shows no files on the reader. I tried to
run the Sony updater and it reports that the reader is already at
version 1.1.00.18040 so it will not run. I have tried:

1 - Pressing the reset button and sliding the power button ... no
luck.

2 - Pressing the reset button and holding down the Bookmark button
and the Volume Up button ... all I get is the Starting up... screen.

Does anybody have any other ideas? Does anybody want to buy a used
PRS505? Thanks.
