For the factory reset, have you tried the last method on https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kobo_Reset:_Glo_HD? From memory, the Touch 2 uses the same method as the Glo HD and other devices from around that time that did not have a second button.

Other than that, you seem to have tried the things I usually suggest, except on. Plug it in and leave it overnight. It shouldn't work, and I don't know why it does, but, there have been lots of times that people have given up, left it plugged in and found it working the next day.

Beyond that, you can try an image restore to the internal SD card. Depending on exactly what happened, restoring the image gets most devices working again. You will need to take the card out and put it into a computer to write the image to it. I would suggest getting a new card, as it is likely that the a failing card is what has caused this. You can use a larger card and resize the books partition to use the full space. I have sent you a PM with the link to the image if you need to try it.
