Hi Folks, I could really use your help.

I've had my Kobo for about a week now and did not need to recharge until today. Oddly, it only stayed charged for a few hours and then I noticed the battery indicator said very low. A little later the screen went completely blank and there was nothing happening, no red light, no book image, nothing. The screen was that grey colour but no book image or text displaying. I plugged the cable into my computer and now the red light is blinking and the screen is flashing from black to grey and it's still blank. Has this happened to anyone before? Do I need to return it? Is it charging? I am close to throwing this thing out the window with other problems I've been experiencing - but that's a whole other thread.

Thanks in advance for any help.
