Hello, first post here. My gf dropped her Aura E2 in the bathtub for a split second - it worked fine initially, then the touchscreen became increasingly erratic to input until it stopped working altogether. She put it in a bag of rice like two weeks after this happened

- factory reset didn't help at all. Kobo only offered a discount on a new model and no repair options.

It looks like DIY disassembly and screen replacement is about the only hope for this. Is this advisable, or even possible?
