Yes, you've read it well. My all new Kobo Aura H20 went accidentally in. a. drying. machine... :smack:
And oh, surprise : it doesn't work anymore.
So, it went actually 15 seconds in the drying machine with my laundry before I stop it and got it back. Apparently is was enough to get it bricked. I already tried :
- Holding the power button for 30 seconds several times.
- Using a pin to reboot the Kobo.
- Connect the tablet to my computer but it won't recognize it.
Nothing works, really. All i get is a blank screen with a really faded logo of the FNAC (the shop where I bought it). Nothing more. But still, the LED on the power button makes some light as I press it. So might there be any chance to get my Kobo back ? What might have been wrong in the drying machine as the heat was not that intense. Static electricity or something... ?
I bought it in Belgium in september 2016 and I'm now travelling for one year in Canada. No chance the warranty will work in Canada as I'm not travelling with my purchase-ticket.
:help:
