I bought a Kobo Arc in 2012 as a Christmas present for myself. I accidentally dropped it and it would start crashing and not boot back up for DAYS after that happened twice I sent it back in thinking it was faulty. Got a new one and the new one has worked for a while but now it's doing the same thing as the first and it isn't because I dropped it (I was careful not to drop it this time)!
I'll be doing something with this arc, usually either surfing the net before I crash for the night or listening to youtube videos while playing a game, if the battery is low, I charge the stupid thing while I'm doing these things. It has crashed twice in a month. I contacted tech support for the first time and they said to just leave it plugged and I did that and after a couple days it turned back on.
It just crashed again! Not only does is it crashing but the battery indicator is often wrong because one minute I'll have a full battery and the next minute (LITERALLY A MINUTE) my kobo will be turning off because the battery is too low. What is going on with this thing?! It hasn't been damaged in any way and I can't take it in since I didn't buy the extended warranty for this piece of shit and it's been well over a year. Is Kobo just that bad of a brand or am I doing something wrong? I'm ready to fling this thing out a window and just get a new tablet!:help:
