Hi & thanks from two wheels!
Hi all, I stumbled across this site when I had a problem with my Sony PRS505. By the time I found this site I had already taken it apart but failed to resolve the problem! To cut a long story short I had the dreaded battery charging issues and I found the answers I needed here.

As a thank you to a great site I have written a step by step strip down of the PRS505 which can be used in conjunction with the Sony manual I found on this site. I'm happy to share this with anyone who'd like to have a go at swapping batteries but it's 4 pages long (Word doc.). So suggestions on the best way to share it please?

Thanks for a really helpful site!

Welcome to MobileRead, twowheels.

You might pm Alex Turic, (owner of this site) giving him the details, and seeing if he wants to put this into the Sony Wiki we have here.

Chris
Hi to all who looked into my post. Chris, as for your suggestion of converting the file to PDF, I have two questions:

a: How would I convert it - would I need particular piece of software to do that?

b: Assuming I had converted it, how and to which forum should I post it?

I'm sure that sounds pretty simple to most of you guys and gals but it's new to me.

I suppose I could just cut and paste it from WORD straight into a post.

Bernie.

@Bernie

You can simply add the word file as an attachment when making a post, if it is under 5mb. Best place to post it would be the sony 505 forum. If you don't know how to convert files then this is the easiest way.

If you want to know about converting files then Calibre is the program most of us here use. It's excellent and there is a Calibre forum here at MR which can help with any problems or queries.

Thanks for the offer Chris, I've just attached it to my post in the 505 forum.

Cheers,
Bernie.
