What can I do?
I've done the soft reset and am going to attempt the hard reset soon...

I bought the reader off eBay (can't get the reader in Australia) and am currently in France for a few months.


HELP!
I feel your pain my friend. Today I was in such a rush to get my reader out of my bag while waiting for the train I didn't notice that the corner with the tag to hang a wrist strap had caught on a loose nylon thread from inside my bag... the reader slipped from my hand onto the floor flat with a nasty 'thunk' sound and is now history. The warranty expires in 3 days and as Harry has explained the costs involved in a repair make a replacement purchase almost equivalent in cost and faster.

I will miss my PRS505 over Christmas...
