Hi, sadly i seem to have managed to brick my aura hd during a firmware push as well. Is it still possible to receive an image of the SD card?

Well, got the kobo completely fixed thanks to the image (thank you again davidfor.)

In return I wan't to make a short summary on the reparation proces, as this could help other users as well, i could imagine who encountered issues (as i did encounter a lot of issues):

- When the aura hd is not responsive, eg. locking up on loading/factory reset load even when plugged into an external power source, a possible issue is a lack in battery power or a broken battery output. It seems that when the available battery power is under a certain threshold, the device just locks up. In my case it was a dead battery overall, which would lock up the device all the time (in different sequences).

- Another case where the aura hd might lock up is due to faulty software (eg. bricked updates, ...). The first step to fix this is to try a factory reset, by either holding the light + power button for 10 seconds or pressing the reset button while holding the light button (when the kobo is on). The white led on top will flash for a short time and you'll see a factory reset sequence.

DISSASEMBLY/REASSEMBLY

- When opening the aura hd bezel, use a (iphone) prier tool to get in between the bezel and the back of the aura hd. Do it carefully so you wont break any hinges.

- The disassembly is pretty straight forward after removing the bezel, the circuit board is screwed down to the back and is screwed into the screen as well. Remove all screws and you'll see both the circuit+screen assembly is easily removed from the back panel and the circuit board is easily removed as well from the screen (be aware, the display and circuit board are connected by wires/ribbons).

- CAUTION, there are 3 wires connecting the circuit board to the display panel, the battery wiring which must be pulled WITH CAUTION upwards to remove it. And 2 display ribbons connecting the lcd to the circuit board. Both are locked by brackets, open these first before pulling the ribbons! When all the wires are disconnected, you can remove the display from the circuit board.

- The battery is glued to the display, if you want to replace it, use a large flat screwdriver, gently push it below the battery and slowly push the battery upward from each side. This will eventually loosen the glue and will eventually remove the battery from the display. Do this with patience.

- When disassembled your touch will not be registered by the display, this is normal. The touch display works with IR light detection and needs to have a full enclosure to work properly (it wont detect your touch otherwise). Reassemble your kobo completely (with case/bezel) to make it work again.

- When you want to replace/fix the SD card, perform the steps described in the first and second posts from this thread, they explain it well: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=209122
