I guess that was what I feared the most when I started to see the screen. Maybe I broke it while opening it..although it didn't fall but I was reading (too late) that pressure on the screen could cause a crack...
Ok, Ive tried..thanks to you guys I intimately know my crippled Aura HD...
thanks everyone for your help...I feel like the Dakota's when the found out there was no gold after digging for 3 years in the glory hole (the excellent series Gold Rush).
Anybody thinking of upgrading to the H2O and want to sell me their second hand Kobo Aura HD with a working screen
or just the screen ....
