My Kobo GloHD is stuck on the Power Off image and doesn't take any charge. Could the battery be dead/shortcutted? Could it have burnt the reader as well?

I got the message to charge it. So I started charging it with my phone charger as I hade done before and it looked as it started charging and the reader started. Only odd thing was that I got the message to Connect or not, as if it thought I had connected it to my computer. Don't remember gettting this message before when using the phone charger.

After half an hour I needed the charger for my phone and paused the charging. I was a bit surprised it hadn't charged the reader more. Anyway, I the started charging it again, but this time I got curious about the message and choosed Connect. Nothing happened, so I left it to charge.

When looking at it an hour later, the reader was off and completely dead.

I pressed the ON button for several minutes, as well as the Reset button. Nothing. I also opened the reader an disconnected the battery for a while and the connected it again. Nothing.

Any idea what happened? It has worked great all the time. Only thing is that the charger is a Samsung quick charger for my S10+. But since I've used it before, I didnt think it would harm the reader.´

Do you think the reader is still okej? Would it be harmful to try and charge it during the night.

I found a replacement batteries for around 17 euro and small shipping cost for Sweden. Seems better than paying around 130 euro for a new Clara GloHD. Still happy with the GloHD

Feeling a bit strange not having access to my ereader...
