pressing the reset button at anytime in the situations above, just returned it to its constant yellow LED "start up" screen problems.

I was away the weekend (3 whole days), so left it turned off (no LED colour) and then started it up (flashing yellow LED) and it showed me the failed firmware install screen (due to no usb connection at the time), but I plugged it into the computer, and got the updating firmware now screen. I then ran the PRS-505 Updater 1.1.00.1840.exe and it saw the Reader (firmware 0.0.0.0) and then to my surprise it even completed the installation (never did this before) and the Reader screen changed to the USB connected screen.

I updated the ebook library software aswell and it seems to be working fine at the moment.

Will test over the next days as I already got the return possibility with play.com and if breaks again will send back

The only thing I can think of with the ereader that it can get itself in a mess, but due to its battery efficient design the firmware literally needs days to get itself in order???!!!

It seems the firmware was somehow deleted by my reset antics.

Im therefore also worried now, what pressing the reset button will do
