I think the unit has to go back to Sony or in the trash at this point. Seems sad that an upgrade gone bad renders the unit useless. Too bad, my wife really liked it, wish she'd plugged it in during the upgrade.

Hi Tony,
Please don't trash it. There are several of us who are working on reverse engineering the PRS-505 (I've been contributing linux drivers to the community for the various e-ink controllers such as metronomefb, broadsheetfb). If you end up deciding this unit useless to you, it may still be useful to folks like me who could use it for parts or possibly even restore it if we're lucky, in which case we can document how to do it for the next chap who encounters this issue.
Thanks,
jaya
