OK, my new micro SD card came today, so I dd'd the image from davidfor onto it (thanks David) and resized the last partition to fill the unused space.
Plug it into the device to try it and still have the same problem.
Just to recap, the screen is frozen in mid-refresh. When powered on, the switch light comes on solid for a few seconds, begins flashing (as though booting), illuminates the frontlight then stops.
Touchscreen is unresponsive, so factory reset is not possible. soft reset makes no difference, nor does disconnecting the battery.
I am stumped, I wonder if hooking up the serial header might provide some more useful info...
I have never tried this before and don't know if the Kobo provides any useful hardware info that early on in the boot process.
Any ideas, anybody?
