Hello,
I am new here, because it is My First Sony.
Recently -as a gift from a friend :rolleyes: , for parts- I got a white PRS-T1.
One minor glitch: It does not start anymore.
With the previous owner it just stopped.
I consider myself quite OK with computers, so I started working on this "challenge".
The past days I spent hours, even days, resetting, rebooting, etc. trying everything I could find on this forum (and others on the web) but no avail.
From the previous owner I understood it froze, and he confessed he already "tried some things".
He remembered he once had a serial connection (Serial Gadget) and a non working drive showing (in Windows) which he formatted........:smack:
Now my question is: Is there anything I could do to revive this reader?
Extra information:
When I reboot with HOME & MENU + power, it does look at the external micro SD card, but only briefly (LED blinks a few times) , at the beginning of the progress bar filling with black.
Also, when I do the reboot (HOME & MENU + power) without a micro SD card present it shows the progress bar. But in both cases the orange (on/off) LED keeps blinking.
When I now insert the SD card the SD light blinks briefly, but nothing else happens.
It appears there is still "live" in there, but not an awake form.
Is there maybe a special "boot-image" for the SD card out there that can be used to revive this reader??
( I tried the Rupor and other Resque cards, but maybe I missed the right one?)
I will try anything,
Regards,
Satbeginner
