PRS-505 STUCK!!!

davidw89 · 04-14-2008, 10:08 AM

It's stuck on this screen and the device wont move. Tried pressing th e reset whole and the power button..when i plug it into my usb it malfunctioned..
Power was full before this happened..so must be something else.
I think it's because i manually dumped the .lrf into the main memory and opened it up? Perhaps the lag from rendering it?
Also i plugged the usb out sometimes without safety remove..bad idea :/
Any ideas on how i can it working again?

It's a bit unusual, as we're used to screens flickering when reset, but that doesn't happen with the reader - I've found the best way is to prod the reset button then slide the switch & watch the power led, as that comes on when it's rebooting.
