I've looked through posts here and I think the suggestions are that there might be a loose connection.

I started to register it with Sony Repairs Centre but they appear to want a fixed fee of £176 (twice what I can purchase a second hand reader for) unless I have misunderstood.

I wonder if anybody knows of somebody else in the UK who undertakes repairs?

Thanks
Afraid I don't know of any repairers in the UK but I do know that Waterstones in the UK are currently advertising refurbished 505's for £59.99 on their website (just in case it comes to that).
