My reader's screen has frozen halfway down; upper half is perfect but lower half appears as black horizontal lines on a plain white background. It happened once before, but it corrected itself eventually. However, no luck this time. I have Model 300. Can anyone help?

Hi Haggis - first try ab reset, hard or soft if the manual gives a choice - on a hard reset you will probably lose your library, be aware of that...

If that/those don't help, contact Sony Support, as it may be a sub-strata problem.

How old is it - and have you jumped up and down on it at all ??

Hi, thanks for your help; however, tried soft reset and turning a few pages forward and a few back, but but the problem is still there. It does seem to right itself from time to time for no reason I can see, but after a time reverts back to bottom half of screen freezing with a blank screen or various thicknesses of lines running horizontally across bottom half of screen. Device is less than a year old and I have not knocked it or "treated it badly"! Anyway thanks for your input.

Hi, if one half of the screen is acting completely differently to the other, I would say it has a faulty/damaged screen, and would require service or replacing
