So the Nook is all messed up...
Okay guys, I dropped my Nook STR earlier today and then it kind of cracked open a bit at the bottom. Unable to shut it back properly too, and the plastic is all warped.
Just tried to load some books, but I can't insert the cable! Apparently the drop must have messed up the connection. I tried opening the Nook up again but it wouldn't budge. FRUSTRATING! This means I can no longer charge the Nook, and ugh, do not possess the financial means to purchase a new one currently. Please let me know if the Nook STR can be opened up! Also, it has been freezing on me every 4-20 pages or so on sideloaded books; is it nearing the end of its life? Disappointed... p/s: It is past its one-year warranty.

Sorry to hear about your nook!
This youtube video shows a Nook Glow getting opened up - it is probably similar to the Nook touch. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CbDEIb6oJ7c You might look around on youtube for other videos, too. You might also keep your eyes open for some bargain nooks - the last one I purchased was $65 on Ebay from B&N - it was a refurb. |

Ok my dad fixed it for me by pushing away the warped plastic that was covering the port on the Nook.
jasoraso, thanks for the video! For some reason I fast forwarded through that and did not see the 'cracking open' bit lol. Anyway I did not have the correct screwdriver so was stuck. THANKS DADs OF THE WORLD! Now just hoping the battery would be less crazy. |
