Libra 2 Libra 2 won't reset

michaelbeecham · Yesterday, 04:50 PM

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.

Yeah, tried that. When I plug it into the computer, it won't even mount. Nothing I do seems to be changing anything. It also had a fairly full battery, I think.

Is it bricked?

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.
