I replaced the screen on my Kobo Clara hd recently after it broke; by far the hardest part was removing the old screen from the glue holding it on to the metal plate. Apparently newer models are much easier to repair.
Also, while you have it open (in fact, go and open it just to do this!), replace the internal SD card; they have a tendency to fail; my ereader had been getting very annoying with lag and random reboots until I did this, now runs like a dream. You'll need to copy your old sd card across or find an image somewhere (they exist on some forums) if it's too far gone (I got the bulk of my using DD rescue but there was a _lot_ of errors)
- AlotOfReading 2mo agoThat would explain why mine is increasingly lagging as it ages. Unfortunately, the libra H2O went with eMMC for water resistance, so replacement is slightly more involved.
- II2II 2mo agoOdd. The Libra 2 (the successor to the Libra H2O) had a uSD card with a conformance coating over it. Of course, the Libra Colour uses eMMC. I wonder why then went back and forth then back again. (All three are advertised as water resistant.)
- ThePowerOfFuet 2mo agoThe term you were looking for is conformal coating.
- arikrahman 2mo agoThanks for the heads up. Good to know storage won't be an issue with a simple upgrade too.
- pletnes 2mo agoCan I dump out the image using usb file transfer without resorting to disassembly?
- askvictor 2mo agoI don't believe so (unless you're getting down and dirty with the OS, which, you probably can do since it's Linux and not particularly locked down). There are all manner of partitions on there, whereas the usb just exposes the FAT data partition.
