It was still working fine yesterday night and when I last checked, it had above 85% battery. When I tried to use it this morning, it wouldn't move past the sleep screen which shows the cover of the last book I was reading. After fiddling with the power/light buttons gave up because the screen wasn't budging and I couldn't really remember the exact instructions for reset right then.
Went through basic reset by pressing down on the pin with a clip. X
Went through the manual reset with sliding power button while holding down light button until it blinks. X
It blinks for a long time then stops blinking. The sleep screen remains the same. I've had experience with a previous reset and ideally the screen should go blank before getting the loading buttons/blocks.
Went through a combination of pin then factory reset while still on pin, pressing light repeatedly while on factory reset, etc. X
Trying all of the above plugged to outlet, not plugged to outlet, connected to computer X
The Kobo hasn't sustained any physical damage. No drops, no water, cracks, nada. But I have had it for over a year, so the warranty period is over by now. At first I wanted to keep my notes/highlights/awards, but now I just want this thing to restart.
If someone has any ideas, please help. And thanks in advance.
Right now, the only thing that seems to be responding is the light button which in this state seems to just turn to max. I'm thinking about keeping the light on until the power drains and hopefully it will restart that way?
