original ticket info 141202-000XXX
After discussions with a rep I find it impossible to satisfactorily continue any type of business in the future with KOBO when the product is un-repairable due to a weakness in the manufactured design. The USB even has a line under Hardware ie: USB Port Problem which would also indicate a known problem exists. I only wanted to purchase a ribbon which is not possible, therefore rendering my daughters ARC as garbage. The lesson that I can teach my children is this "If a company cannot provide proper support after purchase, then do not support that company in the future" . This I will post verbatim on any forum in reference to this exact problem. Cheers, and I will help you advertise your products.
