OMG IT LIVES!

I got a kobo three years ago. It worked for one year and then got frozen and none of the advice going on the internet would make it unfreeze. I left it plugged in to charge for days, but alas, it was a brick. Also, past warranty. Sadly, I put it on a shelf and made a mental note to bring it to the recycling depot at some point.

Today I was cleaning things and figures, well, might as well add it to the load...

But when I flipped open the cover, it was still frozen, but the book it was frozen on was different. I've got a bit of a dodgy memory, but the fact that it froze in the middle of a recipe meant that the cover in question was something I actually recalled, despite it being two years. The Adventures of Henrietta Street is not a cookbook. Feeling a bit silly, I went through all the motions of resetting the device and... nothing...

BUT THEN A GREEN LIGHT CAME ON!

The screen was still frozen, but after two years on a shelf I figured it could use some juice, so I plugged it in and IT IS ALIVE! WHEEE!!!

I can finally finish reading the EDAs now! And all the animorphs books I've got downloaded! And portable fanfic! Yeeeesssssss!!!!

Great to hear your kobo is alive! Mainly due to self interest! Mine doesn't seem to want to connect and transfer, any more, it only wants to charge so I have to fiddle about with the sd card and I always have to reset it after synching. Ruddy technology.
