Hi,
I got my PRS-505 less than 2 weeks ago. Very nice.

After 3 or 4 days it started to make crackling noises when the screen changes or I set a bookmark. It is very noticeable.

Then, a few days ago I turned it off using the Device Shutdown menu option and about 5 seconds later it was back on. It now does this about one time in three when I use the Device Shutdown. The slider works OK.

I've tried the reset button. No change.

Any ideas?
