All good advice by filmo, and should be tried if you haven't already. Just be aware that I also performed everything recommended by filmo, with zero result. At a certain point you just have to accept that you may have got a lemon and take it back.

I note that the USB on the previous generation of Kobo, the "D" pad that my wife inherited from her father, which prompted the Touch purchases and the heirloom-ing through one more generation of the D-pad, had a mini-USB connector, not a micro. Given that micro are inherently more fragile just by the nature of their size and construction than a mini maybe that's part of the reason? Or maybe it's just a bad batch of parts and/or assembly?
