When the Reader device is started for the first time or is reset back to factory settings, the screen must be calibrated. The Reader device will display a calibration screen that requires you to touch the stylus to the center of an "X" at several points on the screen. This is to make sure the touch screen properly recognizes input.
The process requires you to touch the "X" in the following locations on the screen:

• Top left
• Bottom right
• Top right
• Center

If the screen is accidentally touched someplace other than the center of the "X" during calibration, the Reader device will display a message stating Calibration error detected. Please restart calibration process .
If this happens, please start again in the top left corner and touch the stylus to the center of each "X" as it is displayed, being careful not to touch any other part of the screen. After the sequence is completed the Reader device will display Touch Panel calibration completed . Click OK to continue to the next step in the setup process.

I have the pocket edition so not sure if its the same, try seeing if in advanced setting you can reformat the internal memory, I had to do it with mine, and its so much faster now, with no problems anymore. Plus get Calibre instead of the sony software. works a lot better.

Mine did the same thing.
I pressed the reset twice for 15 secs on the second time the light stopped flickering then I put it on charge for 2 hrs it works fine now.

It sounds like it may need to just be reset. Use either the stylus that came with it, or a bent paper clip to push in the reset button - It is located at the bottom of the reader just to the left of the power plug in port. Push that in firmly and release it, then try to turn on the device. If it still doesn't turn on then it has some major issues going on, but this should get it back for you.

Thanks much

Tim

press the reset button on the bottom. it might take a couple minutes to reset, but it always helps mine.

You can get the unlock code through online..........i will suggest the website http://www.unlock-zone.com/ which is doing good service .....you can approach this website.
This site is nearly perfect and they were recommended highly in the cell phone forums. I used them to unlock my cell phone. contacted them and within 30 mins i had my unlock code and my phone was unlocked.

maybe?: My touch was acting oddly. Page-turning was erratic (almost like a sticky key). Sometimes nothing would happen, other times near normal, but often flipped through large number of pages & was unstoppable. Cleaning button area (under / around / in-between) did not help. As I was about to smash the infernal thing to bits it dawned on me... try a reset (see manual under troubleshooting, p 151-152 approx. Has been fine ever since (couple of months daily use).

do you mean you can't recharge or turn it on after you reset it?<br /> <!-- from fixya rte -->

did you use the usb to recharge it? maybe you've connected the usb to the ebook but it didn't recharge. The battery will drain if you just connect it to the computer but didn't recharge (bad contact between the book and usb, mine does that). try to recharge it, make sure the light beside the on/off button is on (red), let it sit for few hours that it should be fine
