PRS-700 crash - suggestions

Hi everyone,

I was at my in-laws demonstrating my PRS-700 to my FIL; Bob was interested in an eReader. Walking back in from the porch, I didn't notice that the sliding glass door was CLOSED, so I smashed myself (and the eReader) against it

I was fine, just my forehead a bit sore, but the PRS-700 apparently got flexed in the impact. The screen would not come up normally. It was shifted to the right by about 1.5".

I tried re-setting the unit, re-calibrating the screen, restoring defaults, etc to no avail. It syncs well with my PC, powers-up, I can resume reading my current book -except the screeen is offset to the right by 1.5", which makes it unreadable.

Has anyone seen this before? I'm contacting Sony support since it may still be in warranty. However, I noticed that PRS-700's are no longer offered for sale. What's up? I haven't kept up since I bought it in November '08. Any suggestions for a different reader just in case?

All replies appreciated!

Best,

Paul
