If you plug in, wait for the screen change and then start tapping from the centre and move downwards, you will probably find it.

If I could find a ruler, I'd measure where the button was on my Glo. Here's a screenshot to give you an idea. The Glo has the same screen size and resolution as the Aura, so the locations should be roughly the same.
I was messing around and based on images online, I got the language changed to English. Now when I connect to the PC, I can see the changes and either its blank in the bottom (perhaps thats when there is a popup, based on your image), or it goes dark in the bottom with a msg to "download kobo desktop from ..... " When I get that msg, the light does not come on, leading me to believe it turns off.

I am away from the device at the moment, but will try to hit the connect button based on your image once I get home. Thank you for this. No need to measure, the screenshot is more than enough to help me.

The only thing that concerns me is the strange characters in the keyboard (which shows up when I try to connect to wifi, apparently). But I think its worth the risk, so trying to decide which replacement screen to buy.

ED060XH3 (LF)H2-S5 is mine, and I am contacting the sellers to find out if they can give me an exact match. Not sure what the last part (H2-S5) indicates, but its that bit that seems to vary in the replacements.
