Is this the end for my PRS-505?

chicagofilms · 12-17-2009, 10:33 AM

So my gf decided it would be a good idea to leave my reader in her car because, you know, what harm can sub-zero temperatures cause to consumer electronics?

I had her try the reset button on back, but I think it's ruined. Here's a pic. Has anyone had this happen? Is there a miracle fix?

Hey "Chicago", sorry about that. I have more than one reader myself, and the 505 is my favorite. I feel your pain. Could there be condensation in it? Try burying it in a bag of rice for 3 days to draw out any moisture. If that doesn't work, it is more serious.

That's for the tip. I'll try that.

I love my 505. I wish Sony would have kept making them. They could have gotten the cost down to $199 instead of coming out with the pocket.
