Yes in the Glo, and no issues with the power slider.

Well I am happy for your sake. I did two Glo's and the power slider doesn't work on either one. I don't feel like taking them apart again and trying to fix them, though! I kind of regret doing it....who really needs 16GB in an ereader?

It happened to me one of the MANY times I rebuilt the Kobo Glo. You have to be careful both when taking it apart and putting it back together. I also find that it just might not be fully in the right place, or it might not be FULLY clipped together, although it may look like the kobo is fully together. I use my power switch everytime I read because I shut it down and boot it up everytime I Read for sake of battery conservation. I figure the time wasted at boot up is worth it, given that I roughly double or triple my battery life. (I read roughly 40-50 novels a year, so I'm neither a heavy nor a light reader. just shy of a book every week.). I find by fully booting it off my battery life goes from 3ish weeks, to at least a month and a half. It's pretty sweet |

So I took one Glo apart and looked it over. I can see nothing wrong. The slider moves properly, it just doesn't do anything.

Does that include the slider part thats on the board that the plastic connects with? Sometimes the sliders stop lining up with the switch on the actual board that does the work

I couldn't see anything wrong. But since the device is now not behaving properly, even after a factory reset, I may be opening it again to replace the SD card.
Of course the minute I posted this, she got over her snit and started behaving again. Last edited by booklover6; 03-12-2015 at 03:13 PM. |

My device was bricked; I revived it by cloning my wife's Glo's (smaller) card and using your guide and tools. Marc |

Very detailed tutorial.
I have my kobo glo only a week so i still stuck in "Is it worth it?: If you're asking yourself this, it probably isn't worth it". Last edited by oren64; 03-29-2015 at 05:26 AM. |
