What is showing on the screen? Is it fully charged? Has it been dropped?
1. Charge it fully. If there could be any question about your microUSB cable, try a different one. 2. Try a paperclip reset 3. If that doesn't work, try a factory reset. Hold the power slider for around 20 seconds to make sure it's off. Hold the Home button down, and slide the power button (quickly, don't hold). 4. If that doesn't work, repeat 3. 5. If repeating 3 doesn't work, try it again, but instead of holding Home and sliding the power button, hold Home down and press the paperclip reset. 6. Repeat 5. |

In Glo hold the light button down and slide the power button.
See performing a manual factory reset. Last edited by oren64; 03-21-2017 at 01:44 PM. |

I just fixed it: I did this:
For the Kobo Glo: 1.Ensure that the device is powered off 2.Press and hold the Light button 3.Slide the power switch to the right, hold for one second, let go of the switch 4.Continue to hold the Light button until the small light to the left of the power switch flashes 5.Let go of the Light button In my case the time between letting go of the power switch (step 3) and the light flashing (step 4) was only about half a second. After that the ‘restoring’ message came up on the screen and this time it didn’t freeze but just carried on and let me then connect and set up the Glo again as normal. It is now restoring... and now it is completely fixed! thanks |
