You did this with the battery disconnected and only USB power? If so, connect the battery, leave it to charge for a couple of hours and then try again without the USB connected. If the battery level is to low, these devices don't boot. And I'm not sure if they will boot without the battery connected

I know of a broken Kobo Wifi (screen broken) I'm going to fetch it today.
Hope it's a Marvell. I don't think the screens are replaceable.
I think the cost of a new screen means repairing them isn't worth it. But, cannibalising one to fix another is always fun.

EDIT: Also the original card had two 256MB partitions and a single 1.3GB partition unlike the image you sent me.
Huh? The image is for the whole card. It should contain the three partitions plus the rest of the card. The partition sizes might not be exactly the same, but that should be OK so long as the partition table is correct.
