wierd problem with battery
i was ok with battery for a while on 1.6 , but after i nearly filled 1gb standard card of DR , i found keys to freeze more often. they get unresponsive , and i suspect , they prevent the device from going to peaceful sleep. now i get battery drain like hell , and after 3 days of non-usage , because of a newly arrived Sony Reader 700 , i got a dead DR , and unresponsive to anything.
it refuses to wake from sleep , even with reset hole stimulation , and even when connected to USB , it goes to sleep after 15mins ( a preset for sleep ) and since no LEDs lit , i suspect it stops from charging any ideas? could it be the nearly filled SD card? |

Leave it on the USB-charger, or even better a USB on a computer, for some time and then, boot it up again by pressing the reset button. Keeping the reset button depressed longer has helped some people as far as I remember, but reports on how long to press it vary from 5 seconds till 30 seconds. Before sending it off to iRex, it is probably worth the effort to keep it depressed for over 30 seconds, I suppose. Groen |

many thanks mate, i'll try that and report back
i am still amazed with the spectacular screen , but very much frustrated with the OS. compared to Sony Reader 700 , it's just downright wrong. cheers |
