Nia Power Button wearing down

Tikkle95 · 07-18-2025, 05:43 PM

the power button on my Kobo Nia is wearing down from my nail pressing the narrow button. to the point where i have to fiddle with my nail placement in order to actually press it.

is there something i can do to save the button?? maybe a thick sticker? or apply some glue and build it up to thicken the button?

One solution would be to use a sleepcover, and then you don't need to press the power button anymore. You could potentially open the Nia and replace the button, but I don't know where you'd get a new button except by buying another Nia on eBay as a sacrifice.
