Then I tried to transfer them to my Aura HD and somewhere in the process my Aura's database became corrupt and it did a hard lockup!

well I did the master reset trick using the button method and it started the recover process and failed due to a dead battery!

The device is stuck on firmware 3.2.0 (I had it on firmware 3.5.0 before the crash) and it tries to download the 3.3.0 firmware from the Kobo servers and fails due to a dead battery and the battery WILL NOT TAKE A CHARGE. I have tried charging it for over 12 hours.

well......I decided today after waiting 2 weeks for customer care to call I plugged my HD into a back computer USB port at 3pm and ran the Kobo desktop as I waited for the call back from customer care. well I missed the call and I came back to the computer and OMG it charged up and updated itself to 3.3.0.

IT's working!!!

now I am VERY scared in trying to load a lot of books to it again but WOW my HD is BACK!

I missed the screen!
