Broken KA1

LittleRach · 11-16-2018, 08:30 AM

My dog chewed my beloved KA1!

She only got one bite in before I got it off her, but she’s managed to go through the plastic at the top - I can see a hint of copper through the hole.

And it now doesn’t work at all. For a couple of hours it worked apart front the top left of the screen, but now nothing.

I’ve tried to google kobo repairs but haven’t found anything. Are they people who will repair, or do I just cut my losses?

it depends what is broken exactly

but chances are - it's a goner

(cheaper to buy new than try to repair damaged display and mainboard)

any photos?

Sigh.

Might need to get a new dog as well! Can’t believe she’s done this! Naughty girl. It’s a good job she’s really cute.

I thought I had a photo, but I don’t. But there’s really not much to see anyway, just a tiny puncture hole in the top and a bit of copper peeking through. Other than that it looks perfect. Apart from that it just doesn’t work!

I’ve managed to cope reading on my iPad, so I think that will get me through until summer, and then I will definitely want an e-ink screen again.
