I have read about ereaders that don't charge and those that don't switch on...

Mine is similar- but not the same as others!

I did recharge mine via PC USB connection and got the battery full. I even managed to upload a couple of books.

However- I found that disconnecting the 505 from the PC I could not switch it on- it froze.

Plugging back into USB gives the red light- until charged.

However- there is no sign of the reader on the pc.

Also- the soft reset button doesn't appear to work. Nothing happens- even after holding on for a minute.

So- it can charge but not switch on.

I bought the reader in June and have only read half a book on it- so, understndably I am very annoyed that I can't switch it on!

Does anyone have a suggestion as to a) how to get it working, b) why the reset does not work and c) how to get the PC to see the 505 when connected?

Thanks,
