PRS 505 Screen Problem
My PRS 505 has suddenly developed a screen problem. There is a funny mark in the top right hand corner, it looks a bit like the turned down corner of a paper page. It's there whether the reader is on or off. Anyone else experienced this or know what the problem is?

That's the bookmark icon but it shouldn't be there when it's turned off.

I would try opening a book, setting and then UNsetting a bookmark to see if that clears it.

No I don't think it is any sort of icon. It looks almost like a couple of overlapping bar codes.

Can you take a picture of it and post it? Maybe that'll help someone figure it out.

That sounds to me like screen damage on the corner (if it stays like that even when you turn the reader off) =/
