Maybe I wasn't clear. Hold the power slider for 20 seconds to power the unit down. Hold the paperclip in and then hold the slider over for 5-10 seconds and release. I forget whether it makes a difference which you release first. Look for the LED flashing or wait the 5-10 seconds and release, honestly I forget the exact sequence.
Blue LED for 15 minutes: I'm guessing one of two things, either you need to hit the power slider again to power it down, or that you activated the restore and for some reason it's not finishing -15 minutes is waaaaay too long. If you can't get anywhere with the reset, and you feel comfortable you might try writing a new image to the internal SDHC card if your unit has one. But go to the Kobo developers forum and read up first, make sure you get the correct software to read/write the image, and the correct image. Better yet, try it on a new SDHC card, they're cheap. You might also try popping the internal card out and reseating it since you mentioned travel it could have come unseated... Funny that it seemed to try and restore the one time. Best of luck. The back cover comes off by just running your fingernail or a spudger tool around the curved edge where it merges into the flat around the edge. Most start by the power switch or USB port. The thumbnail works well because your finger provides a "stop" so you don't cram a spudger in. |

After several days I have a problem quite like it.
I'm reading, mark the chapter, close the cover. Battery 46%, the next day when I try to turn it on, the battery is completely depleted. Plug it into my cell phone charger, it wakes up, but after fully charged I unplug it and it freezes. After one too many resets, it opens the chapter I was reading but it's stuck on loading. I removed the book, but it still freezes and depletes the battery. Disabled the smart cover, to turn it on and off, but also, it's frozen. I have no option to send it back, I live in South America. I'm loading my books onto the SD card to see if it helps. |

What firmware are you using. I am having some really weird problems with firmware 3.0 Resets every time I open it. Sometimes with battery depletion. Gives SD card error saying to format it, but continues on and reads the card. The card is fine according to windows and I did reformat it. Same thing. Almost every time I press the bottom in the page number area brings up font menu without selecting it. The books display a cover with two outlined squares around the title and may or may not display the actual cover eventually. The home page displays this as well but in time overwrite this with actual covers. It is like it has lost what little it had of it's mind Helen |

Hello everyone, sorry for the delay. i've been waiting a reply from Kobo Customer Service. My device will be replaced, they are going to ship me one (they pay for it) and i have to send them mine (i pay for it).
For what i've been told it was a hard brick, all by itself because i did not do anything else besides update 2 days earlier and load some books. Im not sure if Calibre had something to do with it but i'll try to edit/convert books without the eReader plugged in. Thank you all for the time and help. See ya' around Last edited by Antares; 11-22-2013 at 06:03 AM. |
