Calibre not recognising my 505.
This is odd. It was working last week. But this morning calibre will not recognise my 505.
I've upgraded to the lastest version. Windows is happily recognising the 505 will let me browse etc etc. The Sony software has never been installed on this machine. |

OK now try the following
Code:
calibre-debug -c "from calibre.devices.scanner import DeviceScanner; s = DeviceScanner(); s.scan(); print s.devices" calibre-debug -c "from calibre.devices.scanner import DeviceScanner; from calibre.devices.prs505.driver import PRS505; s = DeviceScanner(); s.scan(); print s.is_device_connected(PRS505);" |

Looks like the deviceID on your system has changed, post the output of
Code:
calibre-debug -c "import wmi; print [(str(drive.PNPDeviceID), drive.Partitions) for drive in wmi.WMI().Win32_DiskDrive()]" |

Interesting, wonder why the heck it's done that.

Nope ids are fine, the problem is that for some reason windows is reporting that the main memory in your device has no disk partitions and is therefore not mapped to a drive letter.
Only thing I can think of that's causing this is some aggressive antivirus software. |

Something on your system must have changed to cause this, any recent updates?
Another thing to try is reformatting your reader internal memory (you will lose any books on it). |

Beyond normal security updates, none that I know of.
I'll attempt a format when I've finished my current book. |

Nope still won't recognise it (really wish I had thought to transfer off the zip file I had of books on there before I did it).

Hmm nothing comes to mind I'm afraid. calibre relies on windows informing it correctly of the presence of the main memory in the device.
