Hi all,

I have a Kobo Aura that I haven't used in a while. I thought I'd pull it out again to see if it worked, and I noticed two things.

One was that the font colour was really "light". Instead of black text, everything looked like a faded gray.

The other was that there are lines running horizontally in the middle of the screen:

(I hope they show up in those pictures).

Did my device just die from inactivity? I have an old Paperwhite with similar inactivity from the same time and it's still working fine, so I was just wondering.

(The Aura is a good manga reader, so I'd be sad if the screen is basically dead).

Thanks for your help.
