DoctorM · 08-02-2015, 10:57 PM

I was just saying on another thread here that my family has three PRS-T1's and never found them unstable at all.

That's apparently no longer true. The newest, purchased on ebay new-in-box more than a month or two ago has been having issues all of a sudden.

It's used heavily and twice in the last week, just reading a book, it has started flashing back and forth between the shutdown circle arrows thing and a blank screen.

The only way to stop it has been to hit the recessed reset button, which stops the flashing, and then hitting the power button to restart the unit.

I know 'new' is relative, but it was as close to new as you can probably get. Any advice? I've never seen this behavior on out two older previously owned units.
