I have tried the re-set button on the back , to no avail, HELP needed please, also this ebook has not been marketed here in South East Asia, so I may have to resort to "Sony Europe " for replacement or repair ! Any and all advice would be most welcome , Cheers and happy reading  |
Welcome to MR, mickylonster. Sorry your first post has to be about a problem. I save threads that have problems that I might experience and had this one in my folders... I hope it helps.

It was almost as much as buying a new unit. I think it is NOT an oversight that the battery can not be replaced by the user!!!!
