Aura H2O Help me choose correct display KOBO aura H20!

[Kotofey]

Hello!
I broke the display of my Kobo aura H2O. I want to buy new display on ebay.com. How I can buy correct display? In my brocken part I can see ED068TG1 on the label, and -2.06 (VCON as I think?) in another label. There are many new displays like ED068TG1 presents on ebay, but no one with label -2.06. I saw only -1.48 or -2.36. Is this displays are suitable for me?

Hey there Kotofey. I noticed you didn't get any replies, and I'm in the exact same predicament as you. My mother-in-law has a habit of dropping kobos, and now that we're up to three broken devices, we're looking for a way of replacing the screens.

We've also found screens on ebay by searching for ED068TG1, and they look like they'd work, but in another post on this forum, someone said something about the "waveform" needing to match up or else a ghosting effect would be seen on the screen. I believe that this is what the -2.06 value refers to.

I have one broken screen with the same value as you, and another broken one with a slightly different value, I think -2.11.

Communicating with the sellers of these replacement screens is often difficult because English isn't their first language. Can anyone from this forum offer some guidance as to replacement screen compatibility?

You could ask the seller for the screen with the value you are looking for.

Thanks for your response JSWolf, I appreciate it.

That screen seems to have a different part number (ED068OG1 rather than ED068TG1) but I am not having trouble finding listings - there are plenty - I am looking for more information about this "waveform" value that would supposedly make these replacement screens not work properly with my device.

MacZap discusses this in further detail on this post: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...05&postcount=4. This is what's making me nervous to order.

I actually messaged a seller last Monday regarding a screen on aliexpress. Two days later, their store had closed and all of their inventory was gone, so I think I may have narrowly dodged a scam.
(The item in question was found here: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/ED06...806781417.html and the store page was here: https://www.aliexpress.com/store/2396015 - both now lead to 404 pages). Suffice it to say, I think I will stick with ebay listings.
