New info to look at and consider if you are having problems with your Glo.
Discovered this last night with my repaired Kobo Glo after I put the case cover back on it.

If when you turn on your Kobo Glo it goes into the "restoring" screen. And does that each time you turn it on. Check for this simple thing ...... Check the light button on top of the Glo. When you depress it, there should be distinctive movement and a micro button click. If there is no click, it could be stuck depressed, or as in my case the back cover installed the tightness of the frame made the button push down.

Here is what happens. If the light button is stuck on, and you power on your glow. It activates the factory reset/restore of the Glo. So long as the button is stuck, every time you turn on the Glo - it will go into restoring screen. And appear stuck or faulty.

Meaning, there may actually be nothing wrong with your Glo SD card. It is just the light button that is stuck.

The fix? ... Pretty simple, what I did. Slip a thin knife into the crack between the back cover and the frame at the top and in the middle near the light button. Pry it open a bit. Slip a small folded piece of sheet paper into the crack, to create space clearance for the button. (see! paper is still good for something!). Voila, the button is no longer pressed down by the tight fit of the frame. it now has clearance and 'clicks' properly on/off. And the Kobo powers up perfectly every time.

Something simple to check before diving into SD partitioning and imaging what may be an otherwise perfectly functioning unit.

Hope it helps!
