disappearing PRS+

sovre · 07-15-2011, 03:17 AM

I've been using PRS+ on my 950 and notice that every so often I start it up and PRS+ has disappeared.

I can get it going again through a reinstall. But just wondering why this happens.

Anyone else had the same problem?

I have noticed it not being there. I think that's when I boot it up by plugging it in. Shutting it down and restarting fixes that. I don't know if that's the same problem you are describing.

And you may get a quicker answer in the Sony Dev sub-forum...

there is a problem within the PRS+2.0.12 beta installer-code. After the first full shutdown and restart, after installing PRS+ the standard Sony GUI will show up. Another shutdown and restart will solve this.
there is a PRS+ Safe-Mode. If the reader starts up while connected to USB, PRS+ will not be loaded, so that again the pure Sony firmware will show up.
(This may happen if the reader shuts down after two days in standby and is then connected to USB to charge. Thus starting up while connected)

Thanks Mark.

I was able to figure out what was going on through the information in your post.

I found that by restarting my Reader a second time, the PRS+ firmware was indeed restored.
