sphinx666 · 05-06-2010, 10:20 AM

I just received my Sony PRS-600 a couple of days ago. The first day I charged the reader overnight through my laptop. In the morning, I shut my laptop off but left the USB charger plugged in. When I got back in the evening, my reader was completely dead. Yesterday, I tried to charge it a little through the laptop and it seemed to work. Over night I plugged it into my laptop and (I thought) charged it. When I woke up in the morning, someone in my family had shut my laptop down the previous night, so again the USB charger was left in the reader, and it was completely dead. I am now trying to charge the reader at work...

My question is - is that normal, that the reader would just die in a few hours of being "left on"? How do I know once the reader is fully charged?

Thanks for any help...
