Hi guys,

My Kobo Clara HD fell into the water.
I picked it out of the water quicky (after one second), opened it and jently dried.

Kobo was working, but it was really slower and after few seconds (I barely have time to open some book and go to the second list, or open some item in menu) it stucked and automatically restart...I tried it multiple times and same situation.

So I deduced there is maybe som problem with system. So I connect Kobo to the PC and make backup.

After that I tried factory reset (both via menu and manual), restoring started but after few second it also stucked...I started the restore again but same situation - it is working few seconds (progress bar dots are moving), but after that it stay stucked ...I wait more than hour but nothing happened.

Do you have please any suggestions what can I do?
I'm thinking that maybe I can try to delete SD card and copy there new system image.
