The problem isn't as rare as I thought then, Micky. At my side, things are now worse than before. I left the machine on charge overnight and this morning woke up to a blank screen. When I uncoupled the thing, it wouldn't turn on. I tried toggling the switch and re-setting and eventully got the 'reader starting up' page. Then the menu is shown with the circling arrows ... then nothing. Blank as though turned off and it won't turn on again. At the moment, I've coupled it up again to the computer and the red charging light shows -- but nothing on screen to say the PRS is USB connected. I'm beginning to think that you and I have duff machines with a fatal flaw. Like yours, this PRS was bought in the UK and I'm out of the country, so it's not easy to fix a replacement with the dealer. How long is the warranty period in the UK? This one was bought at the start of the summer. Thanks and good luck with yours. Neil
