I used your guide to backup my internal microSD, which was from factory a sandisk class 4 4gb micro sd marked with a pink dot. 1.8gb unused disk area. Luckily, making the backup image on the computer worked (although it took 2 hours to make the image). After I used the steps you described to create a new internal drive on a kingston 4gb class 10, my kobo worked again.
I'm glad i didn't use my warranty, as they would have probably given me a replacement and tossed the old machine away, while only the SD was malfunctioning.
THANKS!!!  |
Thanks
You bring up an AWESOME point. I will add lots of wording to this this weekend to indicate that it's also applicable as a repair thing too.

Also you really don't need to be near the power switch when opening it. I suggest sliding the credit card the opposite way to that of the op. Theres a really good pic the op put up which shows there's no clips over the power switch.
