Hi everybode,

At last I registered after months of browsing this marvelous knowledge and expert data base

I have a Kobo eReader that infinitely READ ON when I switch it, but never finishes.

Flyboy320 was so kind to give me the working sd image.
I have dpwnloaded, unzipped and applied the image to the original SD card.
Put it back in device and switched it on. The light came steady blue and remained so , but nothing happened on the screen (it was stuck on READ ON when I switched it off before that).
I tried ti hard reset it, but again nothing.

Do you kniw am I doing something wrong or waht?
Mine Kobo is the one without touch, with WiFi and with the pad buttons in the low ridght front of the device.

I might use different SD card for example, but with this before applying the SD image the device started up, but never finished READ ON. Now it is not doing even that. Very strange.

Any help appreciated!

Thanks a lot guys!

It was a confusing go for me, but in retrospect, after intently following all the directions provided, the process now seems relatively simple.

One thing I did was to purchase a cheap, damaged Kobo N289 so I could take it apart and check out the innards before moving on to my functioning Kobo. For newbies, like myself, it's important to note that the microSD card is on the other side of the Kobo screen. Four screws must be removed after which the screen panel can be gently pulled out and away from the Kobo plastic frame.

Thanks again everyone. My Kobo, which after a software upgrade was totally screwed up, is now back up to speed, and I'm delighted.
