Ah, yes, I forgot the requirement to hold down one of the page buttons at the same time as start to trigger the reset - I needn’t have worried, then.
I did hold the button down for at least twenty seconds, though, and it was totally unresponsive. I think my Aura One used to have the pinhole reset - definitely came in handy a few times, and I would certainly have used it today if it were on the more modern devices.
I know I am not 'meant' to be using developer mode on any of my kobos.

I just wondered if maybe there were some known bugs wrt using it on the new devices.
All is good with my Libra 2 now, so I’ll leave developer mode off for now.
