so I got the finicky kobo back from my son for more testing - after much nagging
1st test, as per the google search ideas, was to comnnect it tomy ( unpowered) usb 2 hub instead of to a working front of PC usb " port. It showed up as a windows device immediately
I don't get the science behind that at all. I know 1 test is not that significant but I will repeat that later. [ it is not likely to be my usb drivers as it used to work via those front ports sometimes, somewhat randomly.
as at now, I saw it had last synced in 2014 so I am installing updates.
is there anything else I could be doing/ checking while I have it here for testing ?
update- it synced and installed 4.6.9995
then I disconnected and reconnected to the usb hubn and it worked again
anything I need to know about that firmware version ?
