Hi guys, I have followed this forum before to get Koreader in my Kobo and have a better pdf reading experience. Now I have a problem that I can't seem to find a solution for. Before starting, this is the background info:
I have a Kobo Mini. Not sure which was the firmware installed. It was also installed Koreader, both KSM and KFMon
Problem:
- My parrot made a hole on the lateral plastic bit of the reader (I love him, but this is the second time the damned bird does that :| ), without apparently having damaged any of the components inside.
- When reading I noticed that there was an invisible horizontal strip on the screen that would not respond to touch.
My attempt to fix:
- I opened my Kobo, caught some plastic debris that was inside.
- Now when I turned it on, the whole screen was not responsive.
- I opened the device again and now applied some isopropyl alcohol on the board and let it dry.
- Now the device is stuck on a screen.
- Whenever I turn it on, the power indicator goes green-blue-green then flashing green.
This made things worse ...
Other attempt to fix the new problem:
Followed this guide (
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=311227) which instructed me to:
1- download the firmware compatible with Kobo Mini. So I did download Mark 4's 3.19.5761 which according to
https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kobo_Firmware_Releases is the latest firmware officially supported and by being so, it's the firmware that I believe to be installed in my Mini before in the moment it had stopped working.
2- Unzip the contents of the firmware file in .Kobo.
When I tried turning it on, the same problem persists. I have already tried resetting it several times with a paper clip, but no success. What do you guys think? Anyone was able to fix this issue before?
Thank you in advance to all responses.
