Thanks Darryl for pointing out my folly. The usb port on the kobo may be buggy for all I know. This thought never crossed my mind.

Assuming that the problem is with the usb port on the kobo what possible remedies do I have?

Another concern of mine is that upgraded memory of my deceased kobo has tons of books that I will like to transfer on another device. How can I salvage the memory chip? If I were to simply take out the memory chip and connect it to my PC will I be able to acces the books? Currently the Windows Explorer on my Desktop does not recognize kobo as a usb.

Davidfor about the battery in my kobo I have opened it up and the battery seems to be sealed to the motherboard with some kind of glue. Also the battery is tied to a wire or a cable. I am not quite sure how you were able to pry it out of the board.

I mean eve if I were to pry it out using a plastic card or some such thing the battery will still be hanging with the wire or cable that is soldered on to the board.

Assuming I were to replace the battery by acquiring it from the website I mentioned earlier I will need to break off the battery from the board. I am guessing once I break it off the replacement battery will need to be soldered to the board via the wire somehow to make it fuctional. Davidfor please do elaborate on simply popping off the battery from the board in one device.

I am not sure if you are referring to a Kobo Glo device or a Kobo device of another variety. I shall be posting the screen shot of the battery tied to the wire. Perhaps that will make you understand what I mean here.

Gentlemen thanks again for all your help and guidance. God Bless you all.
