Kobo Aura H20 battery won't charge
Hello everyone, bought a H20 on ebay from Japan a few weeks ago, no returns accepted of course and everything's been great with it until yesterday. I woke up that morning with the "Please charge your eReader" message and thought, ok no problem. I plugged it into my computer to charge it and was surprised that it didn't get the "connect to computer" message, or any response at all for that matter, nor did my computer recognize it was connected. At that point I went to work figuring it'd be fine when I got home. Nope, still the please charge message. At that point I plugged it to the cable I charge my tablet with plugged into the wall adapter and left it overnight. Still no change.
At this point I've tried various reset methods, paperclip in hole, holding power button for 30 seconds, hold power button for 30 seconds while tapping bottom corner of screen, different cables, wall adapters and usb ports but no change. Am I out of options here, is it the battery and can I obtain one? I have no real issue with opening the case, even though it ruins the water resistance of it if I can obtain a battery for it, if that's even the problem? Anyone have any ideas? Thanks
