New PRS-505 turns itself ON. And makes noises
Hi,
I got my PRS-505 less than 2 weeks ago. Very nice. After 3 or 4 days it started to make crackling noises when the screen changes or I set a bookmark. It is very noticeable. Then, a few days ago I turned it off using the Device Shutdown menu option and about 5 seconds later it was back on. It now does this about one time in three when I use the Device Shutdown. The slider works OK. I've tried the reset button. No change. Any ideas? |

It shouldn't make noise. Sounds to me like you have some fault in the circuitry.

Seems like it should be returned and exchanged for another.

Just an update.
Well, I got my replacement PRS-505 OK, thank you Douglas at John Lewis. My old one was more faulty than I thought. The new one has a much more contrasty screen, the power switch has a nice positive click, and the battery life is MUCH better. And it is RED. |

Nice! I was going to say, that's absolutely not normal. Glad to hear you got a proper replacement!
