They are probably not sticking the plectrum deep enough and there is still untouched adhesive on that half on the bezel, or not doing multiple passes so adhesive doesnt get removed good enough.Also in the only video available on youtube dissasembling h20 it isnt shown that there is adhesive on the side of the screen, which also doesnt help with the situation.
When i was first removing my bezel i spent like 30+ minutes on the inside portion of the bezel, being overly carefull, and lifted from one of the top edges carefully adding more pressure and listening for sounds of the glue. When it starts craking even the tiniest bit stop with the pressure and patiently wait till the sound stops , then add some more pressure untill you get a gap on the inside.And its easy after that.
It could be done faster with an exacto knife on the inside, but i didnt want to risk scratching the screen.

We'll find out soon.
Do you have any light at all, maybe the ereader turned off? Which might be a bad thing since in previous post you stated that it has been broken since 2015. If it has been lying around discharged for that long there is a good posibility your battery self-discharged below recoverable level and is dead.
Even if it could be recovered with long charge session, such batteries are considered dangerous for use after the fact.
I wasnt able to find any info on battery size for h20 so in case anyone needs the battery dimensions - 255085(2.5mmT/50mmW/85mmH) just measured yesterday with caliper. 3mm thickness might fit allso(305085) , but dont quote me on that


All this talk about screens been so fragile has been haunting me since i started fiddling with the reader, i got the impression that its of a strength of a pringle potato chip . And yesterday i got to test that...
While fiddling with the light strip, i used a 150gram flashlight to get a better look below which i held with my teeth.I suppose you know where this going.
In the process of figuring the strip, i got a moment of enlightenment and as a reflex i opened my mouth a bit ... Enough for the 150gram(head heavy) flashlight to drop from about 30 centimeters right on the screen(narrow body, so impact was pretty concentrated in one place). Luckily no casualties, cant say that my heart didnt skip a beat. The frontlight disperser thats on the screen sure did help here.
