PRS-650 red light + orange blinking

vbkun · 12-19-2012, 11:47 AM

Sorry I couldn't think in a better title since i'm clueless about what's up with it.

What's on:

- It doesn't turn on with the power switch;
- It doesn't show up in windows when pluged;
- Weird light behavior: When I plug the usb cable, the light along the power switch keeps blinking orange while the sd slot's light gets on and orange; after a while a sd slot light goes down, power keeps blinking orange. In about 10 min or so the orange light turns red, sticks like that for 1/2 minutes, and then it resumes the orange light process;

Any clues?

--- update

Tried a wallcharger, seems now it has enought power to ... welll... get just stuck in orange lights

If you have an sd card inserted... remove it and try again

Had not, in fact I don't use the sd slot for around a year.

I even tried putting a SD to see if it would do something but nops.

Probably It's dead.
My dead prs 350 had the same behavior, it was under guarantee and sony had sent me a new prs-t1.
It had controller damaged.
