Hi, bought a mini to use as a 'throw in a pocket' device from ebay and it's dead.

On receipt it has the 'power off' screen, connecting to PC and charging it and setting up a kobo acct it just stopped, screen is just the white (well, ok, grey) of the base e-ink. Pressing reset button (under the back cover) causes the light to go gree, then blue, then green again and flashes the screen black for brief moment.

I suspect the battery is dead as well, but a link to the card image would be useful so I can try that too. Is there any link to where I can get a replacement battery at all?

Can I put the image onto a bigger card at all? or is 2GB the addressable limit of the hardware?

Thanks in advance,

Anthony (tanj666)
