My previous N905 Touch stopped working last year. I bought another via ebay and I'm struggling to set it up. It's so long since I set up the previous one that I'm effectively starting again. I connected it to a USB port on my desktop PC (one good quality cable produced a message that there was too much power being drawn) and the screen went black with a Connected and Charging text, also telling me to download the Kobo Desktop software in order to set the reader up, which I had already done.

Nothing further has happened. The online manual refers to options that did not appear on the screen when I first turned it on (such as choosing wifi or connected setup). I tried a full reset, but once I chose my language and connected the cable, I still have the same black screen.

File Explorer does not show the device.

Any advice, please?
