While it is restoring, connect your computer to Kobo's website, log in and move the trouble book to your trash (this does not delete it permanently, it just keeps it from syncing). Bring up the Kobo desktop and wait for your Aura HD to finish restoring.
Connect and do the setup as usual.
If this doesn't work, then try the magic chant. Check Ken Maltby's early posts on opening his Aura HD for advice -- it's a bit more involved than the Glo due to sticky tape being used.
Good luck! David

Dear David,
I tried your full hardware reset with no success. Ken Maltby's tutorial is impressive, but way above anything I can do - I've always been bad at this type of thing, but with my arthritic hands it's definitely no can do.
I've had a wonderful intensive 16 months with the HD - I'd say I read at least 5 hours a day - and I'd noticed more and more light points recently. That will give me a good reason to get the H2o (hoping we French don't have to wait too long after October 1st.) Requiescat the HD, and meanwhile I have the Aura 6".
Many thanks to you and Paola. I knew I had read something somewhere about it all but didn't know where to find it.
