Try looking in the wiki

https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/PRS5...uble_Shooting:

and also in the Sony 505 troubleshooting forum.

https://www.mobileread.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=114

If you can't find anything that helps in the wiki or the forum, ask in the forum.

I'd ask - has it just run out of power? Try charging for an hour.

Hi Lloyd--welcome to MR!

Good luck with your reader. I'd probably have apoplexy (whatever that is) if my K1 died!

Welcome to MobileRead, Lloyd!

What's a gym?!?! Just Kidding! I do know what the are, I just haven't seen the inside of one in a really long time!

Seriously, have you tried to recharge your reader overnight? The battery in my 700 drained out completely and I couldn't turn it on until I recharged for a long time. Give that a try.

Happy reading.

Welcome to MR, Lloyd!

Good Advice by kazbates. I had this same problem with my 505 and a full AC (wall) charge solved it for me.
