Hi. I'm in need of some serious help. I have a Sony PRS-505, and it used to work fine when I connected it to my computer. I let the battery drain, because I had a bunch of hardcovers from Christmas to read, and I wasn't using it. I plugged it in to charge and got a Device Not Recognized error. So I bought an AC charger and charged it up with that, hoping it would solve the problem. It charged up just fine, and I can use it, but when I plug it in via USB I get the Device Not Recognized error again.

It's fully charged. I've tried soft booting it. I've tried all the USB ports on my computer, front and back. I tried on my laptop. No matter what I do, I get the Device Not Recognized error.

I have no idea what to do now. Any suggestions? Please? I'm I going to have to lose all my books to hard reboot?

So, I went ahead and did a hard reboot. It wiped everything, but didn't solve the problem. So now I have a completely useless ereader. I could just cry.
