Forma Kobo Forma Backlight Staying on when Sleeping

Thargor · 03-27-2023, 09:35 PM

Is there any solution for this?

Firmware is up to date as of today but its persisted through the last few updates aswell.

Basically if I let the Forma fall asleep while using the backlight it will display the cover of the book Im currently reading and require a press of the power button to wake up just like normal sleep mode but the light will be on permanently at the same level I had it while reading draining the battery.

I dont use a case, any help appreciated thanks.

I've noticed it, I think it has happened with the last firmware a couple of times, but not all the time, maybe it works as expected again when I connect it to the PC to add more books (I imagine it will work similar if you turn it off instead of putting it to sleep) and I don't know when it begins to malfunction again (it's working ok now)
