I found the TOS. I registered on Kobo itself.

The Touch didn't say low on power, just needs charge right away. Does that battery icon in the upper left corner show any activity while charging? I sent it back. The seller didn't fuss, just sent an RMA, so they could have suspected a glitch.

If it was just low, the computer should see it when plugged into USB.

I've never seen anything that dead. I think it might have been a clearance item on someone's store shelf and sat too long. Some tablets and phones have that problem. You need a new battery. If it's supposed to shut off after a set time, it's possible a software glitch prevented and it's been live for too long. I've received cell phones that were down to 5% and while screen wouldn't turn on, they beeped or gave other indications they were charging as soon as they were plugged in.

Even the Nook wifi sat for a whole year or more without a charge and wasn't that dead. I had turned it off. I have a couple of old Palm PDAs that haven't been charged in years, yet I can plug them into charger and they respond.


I'll put a device under avatar when I get a working Glo.
