Factory reset fixes 'broken' switch

It's quite possible for the firmware to get messed up and ignore the input. I recall at least one other person posting with this problem, I believe Kobo swapped the unit out, but you should be able to resolve it if it's just a firmware goof. Worth a try anyhow.
Had exactly the same problem with a non-functioning slider switch. Just want to say that TechniSol hit the nail on the head with the Factory Reset recommendation. It takes a while but in my case that fixed it.

Thanks!
