To unbrick it, you'll have to do 10 timely resets in a row, i.e. do it right after you see the startup screen 10+ times. After it, reader will fall into firmware update mode. Then just use standard Sony's flasher (or use this one http://projects.mobileread.com/reade...%20Special.exe it doesn't matter). This will get you standard 1.1.00.18040 US version.

After that, you could try PRS+ installer again.
Hi, thanks for your fast reply. That did the trick. And I did try the PRS+ installer again and it's working now. It looks terrific. I'm looking forward to playing with it. Thanks!!

As for what caused the brick, I couldn't say. I only had 19 books on there (172 mb free) and have never attempted any customizations before this one. I did buy it used, but I had restored it to default settings and had updated with the sony flasher, so I don't think that's it. At any rate, it's working now! Thanks very much.
