Well,

Like a bunch of folks I started the firmware update. The device rebooted itself and then hung on the "Starting up" message. I can't see it as a drive. When I look at the USBSpy. I can't see it on the USB bus. I'm now trying to fully discharge it to see if that helps. All I can make the device do is flash the screen a couple of times by hitting reset and then power-on x 10. When I do that the screen flashes multiple times the it goes back to the "Starting up" Screen.

I've tried the reset trick with Mark and Volume +.

Is there anything else left to do before I consign my device to Sony Repair?

Thanks in Advance,

John.
