Libra 2 won't reset
Hey all,
I added a book to my Kobo today from Calibre (something I've done many times before), but for some reason it's has frozen on the home screen. I've tried resetting it via pressing a page turn button and the power button. I've tried this not plugged into a computer, AJD plugged in, but nothing changes. What else can I try? Many thanks. |

Have you tried holding down the Power button for 10 seconds?
Should cause the screen to clear, then 3 dots appear. I wasn't aware of the page turn/power button method. |

Ok. Then I am out of ideas. Maybe other, more experienced members might have better suggestions.

If your Libra 2 is frozen, hold the power button down for 30 seconds and then release the power button for 5 or so seconds and then press it again.
Please note that if you are trying the manual factory reset, you need to power off your Libra 2 and charge it for 1+ hours. Leave it plugged in, press and hold a page button and then press and hold the power button for up to 30 seconds until the resetting screen shows. |

I can't power it off (unless you mean let the battery drain out?), I can't mount it to my Mac, holding the power button does nothing, holding the power button + page turn button does nothing. I wonder if it's bricked, somehow? I did switch the wifi on yesterday and it had an update to do. Everything seemed fine after the update, but now this... |

Remember that just because there is stuff on the screen it does not mean that the battery has power.
Have you tried a different USB cable and / or charger? Sent from my Pixel 7a using Tapatalk |
