Device: KOBO Aura H2O (v1)
Unhappy Screen somehow got broken? Need guidance fixing it!

Hey everyone!

A sad thing happened yesterday: I was turning my Kobo Aura H2O on - everything seemed fine, the display seemed okay - and then the screen split! A big white strip separated the screen: the bottom half worked fine while the top half is frozen as if the screen was powered off or asleep.

I went to the FNAC Clinic today, hoping for a fix, but I was told that there was nothing they could do; not only would the fix imply a new Kobo H2O - which they don't have anymore, it was discontinued - but the warranty has expired. So.

I went online and searched ways to fix my little issue, and on my research I came across many videos of people tearing their Kobo apart!
I found one that was very good, and in one of the comments, a user shared a link for H2O displays!

What I am hoping for is for some advice on how to do this, or if someone has done this before! Like, which screwdriver to use, etc., and if this display that I'm looking into buying is the correct one!
Any words of encouragement is much appreciated, I really love my Kobo H2O and I am very frightened of breaking it even more, ahahah

Thank you everyone!
