Hi, thanks for (potentially!) helping...

After lending out my original - well loved - kobo and not getting it back I bought a glo (non hd) for my son. The screen is now damaged, left side doesn't change display but still registers button presses.

I have disassembled the device and there is no obvious physical damage (or there wasn't until I broke the retaining clip for battery to pcb connector!)

There is a perfectly straight and vertical division between fully functioning screen on the right and frozen screen on left - i saw on another post that this might indicate something other than mechanically trashed screen...

Any deas?
