Dead pixels on the screen
My wife's' nook has a line of dead pixels in the bottom half of the screen. Just showed up for the first time today. Reboots and resets don't seem to help the issue.
So, it looks like I may need to get a new screen. Has anyone ever replaced a nook screen? Is it hard? Where can I buy a replacement screen? Any help greatly appreciated. |

Replacing the screen of an eInk device is rarely cost-effective - having it repaired tends to cost as much as buying a new device. If it's not still under warranty, your best bet is probably to look for a 2nd-hand nook; with the impending release of the new nook, there should be some bargains to be had in the next few weeks.

Last time I looked, it was impossible to buy a single screen for less than the price of a new nook. You might find a usable one on eBay in the form of a dead nook from some other reason, but even that's tough.

Yeah, I think I'm going to end up buying a Simple Touch. The only problem is, I just bought an Oberon Design case for the nook classic. I think my wife may like the case better than the nook itself.
So, no simple touch until Oberon Design makes a case for the thing... |
