My Kobo (one of the originals) no longer holds a charge. When you turn it on, it glows red, then briefly blue before shutting down again. Now it no longer even gets to the blue, it just glows red for a second and shuts off.
I have no problem with buying a new one as this one is clearly toast, but the problem is that when I plugged it into my laptop and then my Netbook to try to charge it, it has burned out my USB ports on both and they no longer work.
That has me really mad and looking for answers. I need my USB ports for my Rocket stick and now have no internet access when I travel.
Any ideas anyone???
