Can I clone with the working H2O its internal sd to the external sd and then try this sd on the other, broken H2O (of course insert in the internal sd drive)? Or is there a problem because of different serial numbers or something like that?

Yes, it should. And this is basically what all the threads asking for images to fix dead devices are about. The only difference is that the images were taken after a factory reset. They don't contain anything and will go through the setup when the card is installed. The only other thing, especially in your case, is the serial number will be the same on both devices. But, that is easily fixed. Personally, I would recommend doing a factory reset after restoring the image. That does seem to help in some cases, but, also helps know it can be done later when needed.
Of course, I can supply the image I have for the Aura H2O if you want.
