Hey there!

Wondering if anyone has an idea on how to fix this. Kobo support has no solution but have me buying a new device.

I've been using Koreader for a while now and after purchasing a remote and not having it work with koreader, I decided to go back to the original Kobo (keeping koreader on it.) I tried updating and my device went into the three dot screen that doesn't want to budge.

Every time I try to do a manual reset (holding only the power button) or a factory reset, it ends up having the LED flash/screen flash and returning to the three dots. The device does not want to go into the "powered off" screen. My computer does not recognize the device when I plug it in.
