If that is the case, my recommendation would usually be to use the Kobo desktop application, or manually install the firmware and then do the WiFi setup. But, if the USB port is not working, your only choice for doing anything is to take the card out of the device and update it from the PC. Using Linux or a Mac to do this is easier. I can't remember if Windows will mount the book partition safely or not. It might work, but I've never tried.

Hello again David,
I managed to mount the SD card with Linux, but now I have a different issue. I am unsure of where to put the file/folder of the firmware so that Kobo updates when I insert the SD card back in to the reader. I tryed with the 4.18 version of the firmware. I put the zip file on the rootfs partition, then inside the root folder, then I tryed it unpacked, tryed zipped and unpacked on the KOBOeReader partition... nothing worked. What I am doing wrong? I search for where to insert the firmware on the SD card everywhere on the net, no luck. Thank you for any info you might provide.
Stefan
