Problem With My Sony Ereader Prs-300. Won't Turn On.
My sony e-reader PRS-300 won't turn on. It was charged all night and day with a wall charger, and I've tried the soft reset. Cannot try a hard reset since the unit will not turn on. The light is amber and it is blinking. Don't know what to do, please help.
