Started to charge my PRS-505 and after some time the charging screen appears and continues to charge. Then the reader changes screen to 'starting up' and hangs there forever. I have tried re-setting it but I think I am not doing it correctly. NB Whilst on this screen I get no reactions to any butons pressed including power o/off.</P><P>Thanks in advance</P><P>Alan</P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 10 Feb 2012 14:50:15 GMT https://community.sony.ee/t5/ereaders/starting-up/m-p/295618#M1864 lordpike 2012-02-10T14:50:15Z Starting Up https://community.sony.ee/t5/ereaders/starting-up/m-p/295619#M1865 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Don't know much about the 505 I'm afraid, but I'm presuming you've had this a while - and you are following the manual's procedure on resetting ?</P><P>If you have a hard/soft option,&nbsp; a "hard" reset may be needed - but remember to back-up all contents, as you will lose everything on the device, so you can load them on again.</P><P>Another possibility may be the battery - it may have reached RIP time <img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://community.sony.ee/html/@8A5BDCECEE2E5AB683F2BDAA500F2036/images/smilies/035.png" alt=":slight_frown:" title=":slight_frown:" /></P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 10 Feb 2012 20:21:11 GMT https://community.sony.ee/t5/ereaders/starting-up/m-p/295619#M1865 carpetmojo 2012-02-10T20:21:11Z
