Kobo H2O replacement screen.


Hi, as so many Kobo owners apparently 'drop' their eReader, causing the screen to break (as stated by the Kobo Help Team) i found a replacement screen for the DIY among us. Beware however: on opening your device the warranty is voided AND waterproofing is no longer guaranteed !!! But at the price it is far cheaper than a new eReader. And the "drop" story from the help team (?) doesn't hold: mine just broke due to the high temperatures on the beach where the eReader in his (original BLACK Kobo) magnetic cover got VERY hot indeed. A glass specialist said this could very well be the cause of the broken screen glass. Either thru tension or due to bad design. Whatever: my H²O is as new now. Why the Rakuten Corp doesn't provide the replacement as a (paid) service is either a mystery or a well defined business model to sell more eReaders. Kind of 'build-in planned obsolescence'. :-(
