Have you popped off the back and put a paperclip in the pinhole? Just work a credit card or stiff fingernail around the edge to free the back from the Kobo Mini. Then press the reset button in the pinhole with the paperclip. Push until you feel a gentle click. This is called a manual reset, and it restores your Kobo back to its factory installation. Your books and settings won’t survive the reset. If your Kobo mini is a goner, pressing the reset button won’t have any affect, unfortunately.

Hi Cootey! Thanks for the advice, I did pop the back off to give the pinhole a poke. Unfortunately the kobo didn't react at all so I fear it perhaps is a goner. I'm not sure that I have the technical know how to sort out a battery or motherboard problem so maybe it is time to accept the death of the little kobo.
