I can't believe it. One day it was working fine. Then a few weeks of no use. Now nothing. I tried recharging via the USB cable for 12 hours straight. Nothing.

I paid almost $400 for it and accessories over a year ago, so the warranty has expired. The new readers are cheaper. Even the Apple iPad, which I originally deemed not worthy as an upgrade from my 505, is looking more appealing.

What to do? I was considering an upgrade anyway, and the demise of my 550 only makes the purchase more urgent.
