@davidfor - Many thanks indeed for the disk image. I've successfully copied it across to the SD card using the dd utility on a Linux machine. However, the Kobo Glo HD still doesn't work! When I press and hold the on/off switch the red light turns on and remains on but the screen just shows the front cover of the last book I was reading together with 'Powered Off 88% read'. This is what it was doing before.

Any pointers on what to try next would really be appreciated. Is it most likely to be a problem with the SD card (I copied the image onto the original 4GB one), the battery, the screen, the main PCB, something else? I'd like to identify the root cause of the problem and fix it if possible.
