Hello everyone,

I’m new here, just registered to the forum.

My wife has a Kobo Glo for about 4,5 years now. During the years she expererienced minor issues like freezing, shutdown while battery was > 90% ... uncovenient but we managed it with simple solutions and continued reading.

Now we’re experiencing a bigger issue and I have not solved it yet.

The screen remains empty (black) while the Kobo can be turned on/off, the backlight does function normal. A reset did not work, also a factory reset did not work (led blinked white for several minutes, after that no changes). Disconnecting battery no effect, the SDC is a 2GB sandisk.

My last resort is a new SDC (4GB?) or the old SDC with new image/ firmware.
What do you advice?

What I need is the IMG and maybe later some instructions but i think i’ll manage..

Thanks in advance!!

Greetz
