And for the older devices, I recommend replacing the SD card. It is likely it is failing and that is the real cause of the problems. You can use a larger card and resize the books partition to use the full space. But, you might not want to bigger than 16GB. When this was first being done, the results with 32GB cards in the Glo was mixed.

Just wanted to thank davidfor again and comment about SD cards.
When I originally wrote the (downloaded) image from davidfor onto the original SD card (using Vconsols's Image Writer) I got a write error. I noticed that Vconsole also had a Flash Drive Tester so I downloaded and ran that on the card. It said there were 2 errors: 1 recoverable and 1 not. Then I ran it 2 more times and the card passed both times. Then I wrote the new firmware image successfully and the Kobo has been fine since. It even wrote the (automatic) firmware update successfully. While uSD cards are not expensive I was happy that the Vconsole Flash Drive Tester 'seemed' to fix my problem on the spot.
So: Thank you MobileRead and Vconsole.

Hello mobile read forum. I am new to this forum. I have an issue with my daughters Kobo Clara HD: it hangs on a white screen with 3 dots, one of them black. Unit is just over 2y old (no warranty). I tried everyting to reset the unit (power button hold down >30s; different cables, different charger). Nothing worked.
When I connect the unit to my windows10 PC, I hear the USB recognition tone and see the unit in 'devices' as a SE Blank 6SLL. So I assume it is still alive. But I expect that the SD card is corrupt. When I read it windows says it is corrupt and I formatted it (3 partitions?) without backup. Is there someone who can sent me an image to re-install the SD card? Thanks!
