Hello, a borrowed mi Kobo Glo HD to my doughter for a while and when she returned it I had "issues" charging and connecting it to my computer. I had to push the micro-USB connector up to make contact. For example, I left a pencil under de cable so it could make contact.
It worked for some months but now I can´t connect to the PC. I use the same trick to charge, but Computer says unknown device. So, I can't use Calibre to add books.
I took the sd card out to make a copy before reseting the device (I did only the books folder, my bad).
After reseting it, the connection problem continues. I guess the connector i broken so I will let it be.
So, to return to the previous state, I copied the books back to the SD but I guess I didn't do it properly as the only books I see are the ones I bought in the Kobo shop.
Shoud I make a "Documents" folder to copy the books? (The partition is empty). I downloaded the books from the shop, should they somewhere? I can't see them.
Maybe, should I format a new SD with an image from this forum?
Any ideas?
