I would like the firmware image for a Kobo N249 Clara HD, please

(Looks like it's my turn, the 2018 reader I carry in my jacket pocket got tired - blank screen and blinking light. Had been wonky before, but recovery used to work.)


UPDATE (may happen to someone else):

My Kobo revived itself apparently after the battery ran all the way down. I had left it blinking while waiting for the image, then noticed that the LED was off and a cover was back on the screen, instead of being blank. It had stayed blank during repeated turn-offs and long presses. For a couple of times the light had stopped blinking (including overnight), but it was still stuck in a blank screen and just started blinking again if pressed.

Battery was at 2% (must be the small bounce back after running down and resting). Now charging it, and seems back to its slightly wonky normal - reader works, USB connects etc.

Many thanks to DNSB, who meanwhile had sent in the image link. I think I'll need it one of these days, may as well prepare a replacement card at leisure ...
