Help - 505 reader completely frozen

heatherager · 08-31-2009, 07:42 AM

I can't get my sony e reader to do anything. I transferred the books from the 100 classics cd it came with, disconnected it from the computer and ever since nothing has worked.

Can't turn it off or on, none of the menus will work. Have tried reset - and nothing is working at all.

Can anyone offer any suggestions?

Get a PSP charger to re charge it via net power. If a reader gets to low on power it will stop working even when hooked up to a USB powersource...

I have a similar problem with my 505, Heather, so I took advice from here at MR and ordered an AC charger from the US -- trouble is that even the charger (supposedly 505-specific) won't work without its own adapter (five bucks of a job that I simply can't get hold of). So be sure if you go for one that you also ask for a gizmo called a 'transfer tip', otherwise, you're back to square one. Good luck. Neil
