Hi Everyone.

I am a new member and this is my first post that unfortunately requires advice from members who might have experienced this problem.
I purchased a entry level Kobo reader from " Best Buy" in May and have only read one or two books on it. I also have a Kindle 3 which I use frequently.
Yesterday I decided I would buy a book from the Kobo store and downloaded it to my reader. I put the reader on charge through my desktop pc and the light remained red even after charging for over 3 hrs.
I then charged the reader on a usb charging device that you plug into a wall socket for another 3 hrs and still no charge but now it displayed a message that my battery was almost completely dead.I pushed a pin into the reset button in the back of the reader and still received this message.
The little red light is on but also shows a a ring of lights at times.

As I mentioned I only read 2 books on it so the battery cannot be worn out.
Anyone have this problem and can suggest a solution? I have discarded the receipt so I may not be able to return it.

Thank You. Brian.
