Hi I am new to this so please bare with me.
I live in the UK and bought my wife a sony reader PRS 505 for xmas off of ebay from the US. And, as I have been reading here in some threads she has had the same problem as many of you guys.
Firstly, the PC doesn't see the reader at all, when connected via USB. The red led lights when it is connected, thinking it was low of battery we left it 'charging' but then it won't turn on. The yellow light goes on and after a while the message 'Reader starting up', which it never does.
Sometimes when we have it plugged in to a USB via the mains rather than the PC a message 'USB' displays.
Thats all we've had for a week now. Would it be an idea to maybe get a proper mains charger and try and give it a lengthy charge, or, as I fear the problem is more than that and requires software etc tinkering? Please help. I would have tried to follow other similar remedies but everybody's problems all seem to be different in some way, be it the messages that are displayed or the order in which the problems occur. The one thing they all have in common is the fact that the bloody things ain't working!!!!!
Thanks. Andyreno.
