* HELP * :_^(

Just a few minutes ago I transfered some books via the connect reader software to my Reader.

I "ejected" the Reader via the button right of the "Sony Reader" entry in the connect software then pulled the USB cord - just like I did at least 5 times already since I got my Reader on 7/14/07.

But my Reader froze.

Nothing happened

I did a hard reset.

Switched it back on.

The "power LED" startet blinking yellow just like it did the last time my Reader froze (see my other threat "usergenerated content froze my reader...").

I thought o_O.

It said "Starting ..." .... for some minutes. Then the screen went blank and suddenly it said "Starting...." again. I kept waiting but this loop startet all over again after several minutes.

I tried to connect the Reader to my PC.

Then it said "Updating firmware now....".
I tried to install the Firmware via the Update EXE from Sony (PRS-500 Updater 1.0.02.01300.exe).

It seemed to work at first. But suddely at the point "Installing New Software" the Updater said "Update isn't complete. Please try again".

I tried at least 6 times by now but I keep getting this error message.





What am I doing wrong?
I only own the Reader for about 2 Weeks now.

Is a very expensive paper weight all that's left of my Reader?


What did I do wrong?
