No I leave the wifi on. It has now charged up to 51% and I am planning to factory reset it and turn the wifi off after it has updated. Side load a few books from Calibre and see what happens. I don't have high hopes though, I agree with the poster who figured Kobo had a batch of these Formas with bad batteries as my friend bought a refurbished one at the same time and hers did the same before freezing completely and not charging/waking again.

Update - I tried to wake it up but no go, so I pressed the power button and the page turn button together and it gave me a picture of pushing the power button. I did that and it finally turned on - and is showing me the choose language page. So I'll see what happens..
