If the power LED comes on and the screen changes but, it doesn't complete booting, then a manual factory reset will probably do it. Use these instructions for this: https://help.kobo.com/hc/en-us/artic...-your-Kobo-Glo. But, make sure the device is charged and for step 1, hold the power button in the off position for about 20 seconds.
If the device is not booting at all, still try the factory reset as it will only waste a few minutes. If it doesn't revive, I can supply an image to write to the SD card. That fixes most devices. But, the SD card in the Glo is old enough that it is a good idea to replace it. A failing card is frequently the real cause of problems like this. And you can use a larger card.
The factory reset will wipe the device and remove any books on the card. If you don't have them elsewhere, you can try to copy them from the card as you seem to have already mounted it on the PC.
If this hasn't covered it, we need more details to be able to help. |
I just reread what I wrote - what a wild and confusing night that was...
So, I guess it's stuck in a continuous boot loop? White screen, 3 dots, black screen, flashing green LED, over and over. I tried the factory reset and it did nothing.
I would so appreciate if you could send an image along - I don't know why I bothered with this - I only wanted to have NightMode.
This is what I originally was trying to do:
