Bonjour,
Je possède une liseuse Kobo Libra 2 et depuis quelques semaines le bouton arrière reste enfoncé, ce qui rend difficile d'éteindre et allumer. Comment remédier à ce problème?

mi ereader kobonia enciende pero no arranca sólo muestra una página con fondo blanco y una instrucción gráfica que parece indicar enciende tu ereader pulsando el botón de encendido. Sólo que al hacerlo no pasa nada, ni se apaga al dejarlo apretado un largo rato.
