Hi folks, this is my first time working on a Libra 2. It's physically in excellent condition, but it's stuck like this. I can see the firmware update logo and the homepage overlaid. There is a black line but there is no physical damage apparent to the screen.
I've plugged it in to a 45w charger for a couple of hours, no reaction.
When plugged into a Windows PC, I get the USB connection noise but nothing mounts.
Holding the power button, or the power+lower page turn button (as pictured) for 5-10 seconds results in the white LED lighting up for a second and then going out.
Holding the power+upper page button for 10-15 seconds turns on the LED for about 25 seconds, it then blinks once and goes out.
No reaction at all from the screen to anything I have done so far.
I opened it and everything looks to be as it should be. The waterproofing is in place, it's clean and there's no physical damage I can see, or evidence of water or dirt.
I carefully extracted the microSD card. When inserted in a card reader, it does not show the Kobo Reader partition. I did a straight duplication of it with WinImage and got an apparent "good" image that does have the partition - however with that card in, there's no difference in behaviour.
I also tried to download the latest firmware update from pgaskin's site and extracted it to the .kobo folder - still nothing has changed.
Any ideas what component has failed or how I can test further?
Thanks
