Thanks for the image unfortunately did not work. The blue light would flash several times and disappear or stay on flashing and will not boot up, the screen is frozen and shows the kobo reader is powered off press start to turn on.
This will be the same if you disconnect the battery. I copied the original image to my computer, and has reinstalled original image but with same results of the screen above. Original image would boot up and show no books found before taking back off. Have tried holding down the centre button and turning it on, next attempt with holding down the menu button, all with no luck. Screen still shows kobo reader is powered off press start to turn on.

Found on earlier post about kobo Wi-Fi sd image having two different CPU chips and possibly two different images.
I looked at the hardware on the back of my kobo N647 Wi-Fi and found the CPU has a freescale iMX353djq5c chip.
Any advice to restore my reader?

Thank you.
