However, I don't think Joe's actions proved there were no hardware issues or anything beyond that it would work with a different firmware version. The problem was in fact never identified, and the solution was for Kobo to supply a new device. Not, I think, a likely scenario in your case.

I don't agree with you when you say that because my Touch worked with an earlier FW version that it doesn't prove that it wasn't a hardware problem. What are you basing this on?
The only thing I can think of is that the memory in my Touch had some type of PARTIAL failure, so that it could not handle the requirements of the new FW. But not being a computer hardware engineer and not knowing the Touches memory hardware configuration, I don't know if this is a possibility.
