PRS-300: Help please
Reader was disconnected from computer by removing USB lead, following the transfer of two Epubs to it directly by placing in books folder inside the media folder.

Now stuck on the: "Do not disconnect screen" with the usb cable icon.

Tried both a soft and hard reset with no success.

Now when reconnecting to the PC it is not recognized

Plugging into the usb the charger light turns red for a few seconds (indicating charging) and then turns off.

Any suggestions?.

Leave it for a couple of hours on charger and see if it resolves the problem.

PSP charger is always better than USB.

Also, I found out that at times you need to press the reset button several times before the reader will reset when it hangs.

Good luck!
