Are e-ink screens interchangeable?

This might be beyond the scope of this forum, but here goes...

I cracked the display screen on my M92. The outer glass seems unharmed, but I've got the streaky lines that indicate a broken screen. I'd like to repair this, rather than buy a new one.

The Kindle DXG appears to have a Pearl screen with the same specifications as the M92. Does this mean they are the same part? If I get a used DXG screen off of Ebay, can I replace this part myself?

It looks like the DXG screen's part number is ED097OC4. What is the part number for the M92? Does anyone know?

Dear Edryan,

the replacement is possible. The replacement screen is about 165 EUR +/-. Where are you from? We could do the replacement for you. We are from Czech, selling the device and services in GeekBook.cz e-shop.

Best regards.

I would suggest you to let a maintenance office to do the replacement for you. Replacement of screens is a little bit tricky. It is not just exchanging of a broken part. There are also some adjustments in motherboard settings (like VCOM voltage) depending of screen batch etc.. It is also very easy to damage the PCB and some FFCs.

If you would do it yourself you would probably just save the shipping cost of your device to the maintenance office.
