Kobo Clara 2e doesnt boot.

decas · Yesterday, 08:12 AM

I installed koReader with nickelmenu and runned fine, and one day was transferring files in koreader mode, i ejected and it showed an unsuccessful eject error on kobo side. From that on, screen goes to blank with flashing led. Sometimes i manage with a combination of power button and usb wall charger plugin to get it into a black screen with three dots and crossed power button icon. I didnt manage to get out of this, so i proceeded to try to put new image into the sd, did the whole process and tried both fresh Kobo Clara 2e and Kobo Clara 2e revC images, but both when i plug the sd card into kobo again and try to turn on just go back to blank with flashing led with these fresh images... I also managed to get the black screen with three dots, through the same sequence.

Did you use the original µSD card that came with the Clara 2E or did you try using a new µSD card? Very often, the µSD card is the point of failure. You can also try doing a full overwrite of the µSD card using the SD Card Association's SD Memory Card Formatter for Windows/Mac before writing the image.
