[SOLVED] How get Warranty service for Kobo Clara HD
Bought Kobo Clara HD on 4/21/21. Item is now completely unresponsive to power button or charging.
Their US Warranty document lists http://kobo.frontlinesvc.com/app/lanpag to request warranty service from. Attempting to connect to this site always returns Quote:

Not much help to you but the local telco (Telus) uses frontlinesvc.com for several of their help pages ( https://tc3.frontlinesvc.com/ and https://telus.frontlinesvc.com/) so it appears to be a third party support supplier.

When I followed the link and opened the US English document, the bad URL was there.
Just to see if this is something going on with Akamai's caching, I've attached the warranty document to this message. |

After digging through link after link of Kobo's useless "help" pages, the best I could come up with is the same thing PeterT, above, found:
https://help.kobo.com/hc/en-us/requests/new That page just gives links to their Chat, phone numbers and social media links. So, assuming it even works, I'd suggest starting with Chat. EDIT: I had to turn off all kinds of privacy stuff in my browser to get their Chat window to come up. |

Could you try Kobo's Support Documents page and click on the United States button? That document has a different link ( https://help.kobo.com/hc/requests/new ), click on the arrow below What is your issue about and then select eReader service request to get to their Chat with us/Call us/Social Media links.
Good luck! Last edited by DNSB; 06-23-2021 at 04:18 PM. |

I'm using Brave and to get the Kobo pages to work fully, I have to *disable* BOTH uBlock Origin and Brave Shields. But, the first time I managed to get those things to work on Kobo's site, it, too, was with vanilla Edge.
