KA1 crashes PC
I am experiencing a strange behaviour from my KA1. When I connect it to my PC, it starts charging as usual, but the access from the PC is usually troubled.
I can browse through the folders without any problem, but if I launch Calibre, for instance, usually the PC crashes. If I use the Kobo App, it says that it should be initialised. I have initialised it a couple of times, and it goes without a hitch when I do so, just to start over again as soon as I disconnect and reconnect it again. Anybody can offer an advice ? |

A crash with Windows 10 has been discussed in https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=280049. No real idea why. It seems to be related to USB3 ports but lots of people are using these and not seeing a crash. There is a workaround or two in the thread.
For the Kobo desktop application problem, is that after the PC crash? Or does it happen after a clean setup? The other reports are this was OK. My usual first suggestions for these sort of problems is try another PC and do a factory reset. If that doesn't solve it, and it is a new device, it suggests that it is a faulty device and I would recommend exchanging it. For an device that has been in use for a while, I don't know what to suggest. |

I bought it in November, so warranty is still valid! I'll look at the thread you mention, although I normally use USB2 ports, I am not sure USB3 ports are visible to my Ka1. Thank you again Bruno |

If you want another test, you could get an SQLite management tool and check the database. DB Browser is suitable. Do this before starting the Kobo desktop application and it will show if the database was corrupted since the last connection. Quote:

On USB3 I have a mixed result. I cannot connect on my PC USB3, maybe because I have it on the back of my PC, a tower, and I use an extension cable, although a good one. My iPAD does not care, the KA1 does. I tried connecting directly to another PC USB3 and there were no problems, so I gather that it must be a very borderline problem. |
