Device: Sony PRS 505
Top Right Screen Corner

Okay, I've got a rather weird issue here.

Exactly 2 months ago I bought a Sony PRS 505 e-reader from a seller on play.com. The e-reader is absolutely amazing and it was at a discounted price of £129.99. The seller claimed it's absolutely new but the only thing that is the issue was the packaging; the corners of the box was a bit worn out from the usage, obvious marks of having it posted a few times.

Anyway, being a poor student I thought I should take advantage of it as the price was good.

Untill this morning I had a issue with my screen haven frozen. I spent hours googling till i found this site which helped me out so much in resetting the e-reader. Anyway, after the reset a small box in the top right corner appeared blanking out the text... I thought it was odd and thought it wasn't too bad, so i checked to see if the area was just frozen or something.. so i turned it off, resetted it, changed the view to landscape... nothing worked. The weird thing is, when i changed the view to landscape the box started to increase in size. I thought it was my eyes since the white box didn't touch the [1] square on the screen yet... the next time it did. When i turned it off it almost covered the [1].

I didn't damage the screen physically... how can i solve this? please help. I've contacted the seller but I doubt he will help me. I read the posts in the forum and it seems like Sony won't repair screens.

Was thinking maybe to go legal... but that is only if nothing else works.
