The updateVersion check blocks me from restoring 1.0.02.01300.
Unzip the firmware updater, find info about updateVersion checking from this file: ../eBookUpdater/scripts/eBookUpdaterMain.xml

Wow, use txt editor to open ../assets/updaterAssets/PRSVersion.dat, here is the version info - "100201300"
Then change this number to 100201301 or even higher, it doesn't matter.
Re-connected to pc and use PRS-500 Updater to restore, it went through the version check and reintall the firmware, my Reader is woring again!!!
Anyway, the version is still in 100201300 from Reader's Settings after restore.
I must say I am so happy that it saved my Reader and saves my money, Sony will charge $79.99 for the initail labor portion of repair, maybe more for parts or labor repair!!!
(if the unit was bought within 90 days, repair maybe free, not sure, just maybe)
