kobo glo hd usb charging issue?

hi all,

searched through the forums and haven't yet found a similar issue i'm encountering so i'm hoping someone may have encountered the same thing and if you did, what did you to fix it?

i have a kobo glo hd used sparingly, but now since the firmware upgrade to latest (haven't updated in awhile) the unit won't charge anymore.

i initially thought it was the battery and bought a new one from some seller and i can see that it has a 53% charge. but when i plug it in (wall or usb) it immediately says "connect to a charger" (something to the effect)

however, once i disconnect, i can start it back up again.

one other thing i noticed is that the red light at the top stays on. prior to the firmware update, i recall this being off when the unit was on. only during startup would it stay on.

hoping someone went through this and could help. i'd rather try to fix than buy a new one
