PRS-650 Battery Dying way to fast????

Arroll · 01-19-2012, 12:50 PM

I have owned my PRS-650 for a year now. Very strange that I charged my ereader a week ago, I used it once, maybe read 4 or 5 pages, then I went to use it yesterday and the battery is completely dead. This is not the first time that this has happened to me either. draining over a couple of days. the battery indicator on the ereader is still reading fully charged. The reader was inactive after a few days and went to a blank screen. When I plugged it in for charge, there was a message that appeared indicating the battery was dead. very strange. it was only used to read 5 pages then left sitting inactive on my desk for a couple of days, has not been touched.

Has anyone had any similar problems with their prs-650? anyone getting only a few days charge out of their reader? i used to get about 3 weeks out of it, reading it every day!!!!

It's happened to me once in about 10 months of use.

I fixed it with a soft reset, been fine ever since.

I've had it. If you have an SD-card in there, remove it.

There can be another reason:

When the file system is corrupt battery could drain very fast. That's at least my experience. Solution: reformat the reader drive.
