I tried plugging it into the computer but my laptop doesn't recognise the Kobo - as it's always looping in that start-up smiley face screen.
I left it overnight and woke up to it still doing that.

Factory reset doesn't help. It restarts but just keeps looping away.

I have now installed the lateste desktop app via wine but it still doesn't recognise the Kobo, so I am now stuck with a machine I can watch loop away. My Kobo is fully charged, I have a little over 1000 books on there (maybe even fewer) and I really don't see why it worked on my boyfriend's device but not mine. I could seriously cry like a girl right now...
