I had some problems and I had no idea how to rebuild the database file so i threw 2.6.1 firmware to my kobo hoping it will fix it. I am sure that there was no information about updating firmware on screen, but unfortunately, i apperantly did something wrong (pulled usb cable in/out or unpatiently used power switch or something like that)
and now my kobo is stuck at "Powered off :|" screen
Even the leds won't light. I tried internal reset button and power slider combinations but don't really know what's (or even if there is) the proper one for a hard factory reset for Kobo Mini. A casual holding power etc doesn't do anything.
I am able to access recoveryfs and rootfs partitions, copying recoveryfs into rootfs doesn't help (yes, this time i did a small backup of rootfs's files -,-), I didn't even know if it was smart but I was hopeless
The only sign of life from my Kobo is
appearing for 5 seconds in lsusb in linux console when it's plugged to my pc and i try to turn it on.
Is there any hope that my hardware isn't broken?
