Hi guys,
I have had a surprising time trying different cables for my Kobo.
I no longer have the original one and I assumed that any old micro USB cable would suffice - not so!
I gathered all the ones I could find in the house. Two worked as expected, four did not, although they all work perfectly for their original devices.

So... whats "special" about Kobo micro USB cables?
Are they wired differently?
