Hi all.
I am having problems with my PRS-T3S and wonder if anyone here has experienced similar or can shed some light. The reader is only some 15 months old

Shortly after loading and deleting what turned out to be a corrupt Epub, the reader then, out of the blue, appeared to be continuously discharging the battery over a period of 4 days even when totally shut down. (I was getting 14/21 days immediately previously).
Thinking it was a dud battery, maybe from being on the dealer shelf or a demo model for a long time, I replaced it.

The problem has remained exactly the same. I doubt now it is just a battery problem as the recharging time has not shortened.

I then did a re format of the internal memory plus a soft (paperclip) reset then a full factory boot hard reset.

Nothing has helped.

It has the latest firmware 1.1.01.17210 and in case it had become corrupt I tried to re install, but neither direct or via the PC updater will do an overwrite / update just saying the reader has the latest version.

Anybody know how I can force the firmware to be refreshed?

????? any other ideas???
