Feel free to read the entire thread.

If you open it, the device will no longer be waterproof in any way. Still I think it's preferable to cutting a hole in the back directly which is what I attempted (and failed) to do. If you cut it while the device is closed and you cut too deep, the device is broken for good.

If you have the card in a cardreader, and booted a Linux CD, the commands are something like this:

Code:
cat /proc/partitions # find the device with sdx1 sdx2 sdx3 - for example sde
mkdir /mnt/kobo
mount /dev/sde1 /mnt/kobo
chmod +x /mnt/kobo/etc/init.d/*
umount /mnt/kobo
After that put the card back into the device and hit the reset button again...
Hello frostschutz, what happened to your H2O? Is it still working?
