New 650 or T1 - Page 2

HIS problem Helen

and yes it seems as though between a good screen wipe and taking off the latest books I had put on I got 2 weeks out of it before it got down to 1 bar.
Im now going to put the newest books on a few at a time to see if it was a book as suggested.
Otherwise it was probably dust.
I'm just relieved that my 650 is still going strong

everyone

Well I am glad to hear you didn't have to resort to the soldering iron.
I appreciate you letting us know how it worked out.

Congrats on solving your problem

It's the 650 hardware that is the problem. The power button is flaky and I think is built into the motherboard, so if the button goes, the whole reader is kaput. I recommend you use the power-button as little as possible.
