Problem with touch lux 5

Vergina1991 · 02-14-2022, 09:20 AM

Hello!
I have a brand new pocketbook touch lux 5. I loaded some stuff from send-to-pocketbook.
I took it my backpack, and when i took it out, the screen looks like this.
Even when I turn it off, this page still remains.
Any ideas what I can do?
I am desperate

Replace the screen or the device. You cracked the glass substrate or it cracked itself (can happen from rapid temperature change) unfortunately. Basically there's a thin layer of glass that the eink particles sit on and it's now cracked. It's a pretty common way of breaking these devices unfortunately. Maybe you can contact Pocketbook and they will help you out since you just got it?

There's a few eInk devices that use a plastic substrate which is harder to break like the Kobo Forma and Boox Note but they're generally higher end and cost more. Small readers are basically all glass.
