The reader doesn't turn on(((

mister_chaz · 08-13-2009, 08:45 PM

My reader was working fine today, it was charging from my laptop,
then suddenly it started rebooting and shut down.
I tried to turn it on - it did the same thing again.
Then i used the wall charger to see what happens - the red light comes up, then later disappears, and the device doesn't turn on.
My computer doesn't see it either...
i wonder if that's the battery or what's the problem with it

i still have my warranty, but i lost the store receipt,
so i don't know of Sony's gonna fix it.

Basically, if a mains recharge dooesn't work, then do a reset.
