Device: Sony PRS-505/SC
I am trying to flash a UK PRS-505.

I pressed #5 then #6 as your help file suggested but now the device has frozen. When I plug the USB cable the device says 'Updating firmware now' but nothing seems to happen.
When I unplug the USB cable the device says 'Firmware Update did not complete successfully. Please try again.' I have tried this with the SD card both plugged in and unplugged.
With the USB cable unplugged it will only turn off after sliding the standard on of button to the right for about ten seconds.
In Windows Explorer I have double clicked on the SDcard folder and copied all the files in it to an SD card which I then plugged in to the 505.

When I plug in the USB cable instead of Explorer showing me the files on the 505 it now says' protected!'

It also says 'error' in the Sony Library software next to the device.

I have tried resetting the 505 but still nothing happens.

I guess I now have what they call a brick!

Any advice please?

Thanks
PS Now it wont turn off at all! Oh God! My lovely 505!!
