Hi All

Got the same problem as of this morning... Kobo was in standby mode all night
Then this morning i tried to wake it up with no success
Tried different things (power+backlight buttons and so on), got the backlight to show up once but never got the display to show anything.
Only sign of any life is the "power" led blinking 8 to 9 times when i push on the power button, and off again , as per this quote:

After turning start button to the right the lamp between the light button and the start button shines for 1 second and then blinks 9 times before it goes off. Nothing more happens. Maybe I try new sd-card and flash the image on it. Or does anyone in the forum had the same problem and have an idea?
Unfortunatelly Coy1973 never came back to tell his story...

Got the SD Card out and managed to read it on OSX.
Cloned it
Formatted it
Then re-copied on top of it
But still same behaviour

Gonna go and buy a 4 or 8GB card soon...

Anyone kind enough to post me a link for the original Kobo OS ?

Thanks a lot for reading
