His image was a 4GB one and I have a 2GB card in my Mini, but I just used dd to write as much as I can and repaired the partitions using gparted afterwards.

Before I did that I tried to use an image I got from davidfor, but it didn't work - it was a Touch image.

Anyway, I'm a happy man now, and for other people having a Kobo that doesn't even light its LEDs:
There's always hope!
I still have the image if anyone needs it, but I erased my S/N.

peace!
Thank you for the instructions and fat265 for making the image available. Could I only ask you which file you have to modify to change the S/N number (apologies if this is a daft question, I am a total beginner)?
