I haven't used my Kobo Glo HD (2015) in quite some time. I've charged it and tried to turn it back on. But it doesn't work : the screen stays white.

I tried powering it on / off with the main button, it turns up a red light on the button then the screen has two black flashs then stays white.

I tried manual reset with the paper clip : same two black flashs.

When I connect it to a wall charger it sometimes does the two black flashs.

How can I solve this ?

I read this thread ( https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=300044 ) but I don't understand the "tap the corners" method and couldn't find any more information about it.

Thanks a lot for your help.
Reimage the SD card. Probably the best way to bring it back to life.
EDIT: if you try to plug it in, does the red light show up? Does it blink?
