Hi,

Recently I bought a kobo aura 2nd edtion. As the functionality was a bit lacking (especially for reading manga) I installed koreader. When scrolling through the settings my screen suddenly pixelated and froze (I didn't change anything at that point, i switched tabs in the settings). I was unable to get the screen refreshed, even after multiple boot cycles. The screen was just stuck: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0-...VwTjRIeHc/view . I was able to power it off and on, and the screen lit up, but there was no change in the actual picture of the screen.

So I went back to the store and got a new device. The screen seems more responsive than the frozen device. I don't know if its a koreader /KSM problem or a hardware problem, but I would like to install KSM and koreader again, since it made my kobo experience much smoother.

Is there a chance KSM / koreader caused this problem? And if so, is there a way to fix these kind of problems? As the reset button is removed from the second edition, I was stuck as soon as the screen stopped responding.

Thanks.
