I wanted to give my kobo touch to someone, so I thought I would do a factory reset. Unfortunately, the reader no longer works. Factory resetting is always on screen. Key combination reset does not work - only the blue LED is flashing. Unfortunately, my version is N905 - i.e. without an internal sd card. Is there a chance to save this device somehow? Can it be started from an external card? Thank you for your help.
You have charged it? The blue LED flashing a bit and turning off will happen when there isn't a charge. And the N905 Touch is old enough that the battery probably doesn't hold a charge. See what happens if you have it plugged in.

Otherwise, there is probably nothing you can do. It might be possible to book from the card, but, I don't remember hearing of anyone doing it for the Touch. It has been mentioned for the original Aura, but, I don't have details of how that is done.
