Angry Kobo Update (Aug '25) bricked my Clara BW

A recent update from Kobo has trashed my (old but previously reliable) Clara BW. It now cycles through the "..." startup sequence endlessly and ignores all attempts to factory reset, etc ('Hold the button for 15+ secs, release then press again', etc). The 'Powered Off' screen doesn't happen.


Does anyone have any suggestions on how to reset it? It's fully charged and since there's no pinhole and only one button I have few options - being in Europe means I can't even connect it to a laptop for 'mothership reset' (no apps available for Windows)!


Any ideas are welcome, apart from switching to a more reliable brand?
