Good morning!
New to Kobo's, I got a mini used from a local buy/sell site, and when I got it home, I factory reset it, then couldn't get it set up through wifi (stuck looking for update), nor on desktop as the desktop app wouldn't download the e-reader add on, telling me I wasn't connected to the internet (clearly was!)
I used these forums to install a bigger 4GB card, and then the sqlite commands to activate it without needing an account, and all was well.
I ordered a 32GB card, flashed and formatted it the same was as I had with the 4Gb card, and then swapped that out for the 4GB one .. but I forgot to turn it off beforehand
It is now stuck in Sleep Mode...
I tried swapping back to the 4GB card I know works (I wondered if it would wake up from that configuration), and also tried disconnecting the battery and removing the card, no changes.
- When I pull the power/reset switch the green light turns on, but the display doesn't change.
- When I pull and hold the switch, it goes from green to blue, then flashes off, but the display doesn't change.
- When I plug it into the computer, the green light turns on, but the display doesn't change, and it's not recognized. I've tried tapping on the screen to enable USB mode, but not sure if I am supposed to be tapping on a button somewhere on the screen that isn't showing up
- I can also pull the switch to turn it on to the green light, but the screen doesn't change..
Is there some way to force a reset? Wondering if I should pull the switch until the light goes green, blue, then off (assuming power is off), then swap back to the 4GB or even original 2GB card, then leave it until it runs out of power?
I've read some other threads that say if it flashes blue green blue it's toast, but mine is green, then blue then off, which I believe is what is expected.
TL;DR, it seems like it's running fine, but the screen isn't responding in any way
