Help with my Kobo Aura 2

[piou-73]

Hello everyone, I'm writing from France so I hope english is okay 😇

My Aura 2 suddenly bricked for no reason a few days ago, and it’s impossible to get it back on since then… I’ve been able to open it and extract the SD card, then I may have done wrong by format it afterwards... So I've uploaded the latest firmware to a fresh ".kobo" folder, and tried to reboot my device. Now, all I've got is a blank screen and the power light turned on.

Still, I've got the feeling it's not dead! Do you have any idea about what I can do? At this point, any help and / or advice would be good...

Thanks a lot to everyone!

In https://www.mobileread.com/forums/index.php there was an user that provided images to restore the SD card on Kobos, unfortunately he recently died and I haven't seen anyone that has taken that task.
I see you (or someone with the same username) have already asked for the image, wait a bit more to see if someone undertakes the task, it can take some time, due to copyright restrictions the images weren't publicly available, so retrieving the images is going to take some time. Good luck!

Thanks a lot for your reply! That's me indeed - on the other forum. Do I have other options to explore according to you?
