SD Card Image Request — Kobo Libra 2 (N418)

Hi all,

My Kobo Libra 2 (N418) has a blank screen and won't respond to any button resets (force power off, factory reset combo, extended hold, battery drain). I removed the microSD card and confirmed on my Mac that the NAND flash has failed — the
card only shows 32 MB of zeros instead of its actual capacity. The card is dead.

I've tried all of Phase 1 and Phase 2 from the standard recovery steps (button resets, Kobo Desktop repair) with no success.

I'm looking for someone with a working Kobo Libra 2 (N418) who could share a microSD card image so I can flash a new card and get the device running again.

My device serial number: N4182B3177101

I have a new microSD card ready and Balena Etcher to flash. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks.
