Aura One Special Edition - Green Light

Hey all,

Long time lurker on the forums, lots of good details helping me decide on what readers to get. After using various Kindles for several years, I decided to give Kobo a try, and purchased a Aura One Special edition in December of 2017. I have enjoyed using it over the post year, although there were some small issues with screen uniformity, I was resigned that nothing was perfect. However, over the past few days the screen has been flickering, and now it has turned a solid green. Kobo support seems to think this is a software issue and advised me to do a factory reset and make sure it was updated, which I did, but obviously that was not going to solve the problem. It looks like whatever LEDs that were being used have had some sort of temperature crisis. Any ideas on a fix since it looks like Kobo will not be fixing this? A bit bummed that a $300 device lasted barely a year before blowing up.
