Bricked > new SD & 24h charging. But does not turn on

Hi all,

Last weekend, my wife's Libra 2 got bricked while connecting to a wifi: white screen and flashing LED. Hard reboots did not work.
DNSB kindly provided the image to my specifications, which I put on a different sd card (not a new one, but one that used to work well).
However, I still cannot turn on the Kobo. I charged it four 24 hours, but it does not respond.

Interestingly, when the sd slot is empty, and I connect the Kobo to my computer, I hear the connection. If the sd slot is *not* empty (original sd or new sd), then I do not get the connection sound from my computer.

I am not sure what to do. Load longer? Buy a new SD-card? Give up?

Thanks for your help!

Thanks for your responses.

It is a microSD hc, no further logo on it.
I cleaned the holder as best I could with a wooden pick.
