I can’t believe how many of those Redditors toss their Kobo Claras into a drawer when they freeze. The OP returned his! I realize that dealing with Kobo can be like

but eReaders aren’t cheap. Also, I’m stubborn. I’ll be darned if I’m going to let a frozen eReader get the best of me!
I wish I had taken a note when this problem began, but most firmware updates these days cause my Clara HD to freeze during installation. That means the screen may be frozen on the three dots or a blank screen, and the white light blinks forever. I usually give it ten minutes (interrupting a firmware update can cause its own issues), press and hold on the power button until the Kobo powers off, wait a few moments, then power the Kobo back on. Each time, the installation finishes without further problems.
However, I still get random freezes on random screens doing random actions. I know it’s happening when my Clara HD stops responding, and then I noticed that the white light is blinking.
