oh well, I'll have to wait for a Marvell Kobo to bite the dust so it can be imaged...

I also have no way of knowing what firmware I have on this Kobo as I'm not the original owner.. Still been fun trying to get it to work.

as a booby prize I get a 2GB micro sd card!
Yes, the WiFi had two versions, one with a "Marvell 166e SoC" and one with "iMX357 SoC". I haven't seen anything about how to tell them apart. I don't know which version this image came from.

But, what actually happens when you turned it on? Any lights flashing or the screen changed? Something to try is a factory reset using the buttons. From memory, that is done by holding the centre button down while turning it on. If that isn't it, a search here should find it.
