[paieye]

A few days ago, my Kobo Touch started going back to the beginning of the page that I had just read (I do mean page, not screen) after I had been reading for a few minutes.

I tried putting the KT to sleep, then I tried closing it down and re-starting it, then I tried doing a paper-clip reset. All of these produced some minor improvement for a time, but then the KT went back to its old tricks.

I therefore carried out a factory reset The situation is now far worse. The KT still goes back to the beginning of the page, exactly as it did before, but now it is no longer possible to put it to sleep. On top of that, when I try to close it down, nothing happens until I have held the switch for about 45 seconds, when the screen goes blank, then, without any intervening display, displays the smiley face that shows that the KT is being restarted.

As before the factory re-set, the KT then works properly for a few pages, but then goes back to its old tricks.

Can any kind person advise me how to rectify this ?
