Remove a working e-ink screen (without destroy it)

jack-water · 11-17-2012, 08:42 AM

Hi everybody, I hope you can help me,

I've got a not working cybook gen3, due to software issues, but the e-ink screen is prefectly working!

So, how can I remove it from the motherboard without destroy it? Is there a method?

Please help me !

It's usually simpler to leave the screen as is and instead transfer the electronics from the reader with the defective display to the reader with the intact display. Of course this only works with the same model, but it's not like displays are simply interexchangeable between different reader models either.

I's difficult. I did it with benzine, after some hours of exposure I could lift the display with a knife. But the risk to break it is very high, do not bend the display.
