frozen with message: 1fskin:/I/string...

jac789 · 12-05-2011, 08:52 AM

My ereader prc 600 is frozen. I bought it in summer 2010 so is out of warranty period. Unfortunately when I bought it i didn't pay extra money for 3 years cover trusting quality of famous SONY. I have camera A200 and camcorder which still work without any serious problem. So I have counted naively ereader be with same good standard. First time my ereader was frozen about 3-4 months ago. It was exactly same screen-image: some vertical and horizontal strips (it resembles main page but without any sings and lines are thinner: four big squares and three smaller in the bottom; there is a message: 1fskin:/I/string...). Before I discovered that I used wrongly Calibra and it tried to add huge files (still I don't know how it happened) and I removed big files from ereader memory and it started again. Now it happened when I used Reader Library (Sony software). I have cancelled two files trying adding them to e-reader's memory. I worked long time without results ( synchronizing process). Now it got stuck again. A memory is free. It doesn't help to reset. Several resets didn't help. After reset I can see yellow light flashing, I can turn on. A reader starts, shows a first page – preparation and it is frozen again, and again: stripes and message: 1fskin:/I/string.... Battery are charged. So is any more what I can do?

As you see I am not keen about software but who said I should be. Now even restarting doesn’t work. I am just book worm, and feel quite uncomfortable. The Christmas is soon, I predict charge in the support centre. Hard reset doesn’t work as well (back page and volume +) I just read Anthony Beevor’s Stalingrad. Is the Barbarossa had effect into my ereader?? Anybody can help, please??

Try to connect charg it using external power supply, it's probably discharged.
Try to connect it to PC during boot time and format the internal memory and/or hard reset. (it also formats IM)

Thanks. It is charged . I did yesterday and I'm doing it now. Because it can be switch off bateries lost all charge. Hard reset doesn't work ( < button and volume+). If I format the internal memory what about software built-in (sony made)?. Does it effect this software (dictionary and main program) etc? Format you mean same as I can do with PC hardisk or memory Card? Sorry for that rookie question but I like still my sony dispite it's the one-way love
