If your Kobo Mini is out of warranty you can snap off outer back, remove 6 screws and separate back half from front half. Remove internal micro SD card and install new micro SD card with good image of Kobo OS from working Kobo Mini. You can use up to 32GB micro SD card and expand end of partition with the image to include unused space.
