I am suddenly getting what others have posted about, a "FAIL" message from calibre about the Kobo database when I plug my Kobo into the PC.

Yes I know there are posts elsewhere but they seem to just peter out ?

My Kobo is using the older firmware 1.9.17, and I didn't try to update it because of the problems.

I haven't used my Kobo Desktop software for the same reason.

My Kobo has been working fine until today when I plugged it in to transfer some books to it from calibre.

calibre is running 0.8.62, but I don't know which version it was running the last time I had my Kobo connected to it ?

I tried uninstalling calibre and reinstalling 0.8.61 but still get the fail message.

But I notice that calibre still has all the books in it's Library, so obviously t wasn't a "clean" reinstall.

Would a clean reinstall of an earlier version of calibre fix the problem, and how do I do that please ?
