Clara HD power button LED

alhio · 01-28-2021, 09:06 AM

Hello there,
recently I bought a Kobo Clara HD with a damaged screen. While opening the device I found out that the LED of the power button is missing (found it tumbling inside). Evidently the previous owner tried to reset the reader through that hole and broke the LED off.
My question is, do you guys think once the screen replaced the reader could work without this led or I must solder it back ?
Thanks.

Not a HW guy, but, assuming there aren't any other glaring abuses, this one should be mostly harmless.
