Screen Issue (Kobo Aura H2O)

peteReads · 01-03-2021, 07:45 AM

After trying to revive my Kobo Aura H2O with a factory sd card image and attempting to get Koreader running again, I'm now left with a defecive screen.

I suspect that the connectors (the wider one, b.c. backlight works) at the back are to blame, but have no idea what I could do about it. Repositioning them has made no difference.

Has this happened to anyone else before? Is there anything I can do?

Do the lines move? Because it might also be a very subtle substrate crack (hard to tell in a blurry-ish picture).

They don't move, no. It started with a few lines across the screen and after a while the entire screen just stopped working. Hence my suspicion of the connectors coming loose.
