Aura Kobo froze

christopher22 · 01-11-2015, 10:43 AM

My Kobo has completely frozen. Can not turn pages, cannot turn on light and can't even turn it off.

This is the first time this happened. Last time I checked battery was at 41% for the longest time so it can't be out of juice yet.

What do i do?

Reset? Try the pinhole button in the bottom edge, you'll need a paperclip, pencil lead or something similar.

hmm.. seems after about 5 minutes it is reacting again. It must be if too many operations are pushed without activity it locks up trying to process them all. So until it can catch up with all the operations you've done it just sits there frozen for a bit.

Luckily and hopefully for now that's all it was.

I've seen this happen many times; one's reading along quite happily and then for some unknown reason, the device freezes. At times it will unfreeze, othertimes I've had to force a reboot; sometimes holding the powerswitch for an extended time, other times putting a pin in the reset hole.
