Kobo Aura stopped responding (even after factory reset)
Hello all,
Suddendly my Kobo Aura stopped working: it seems that the screen doesn't update anymore. The light button works but whatever I do, I can see only the cover and the POWER OFF text. I already made a soft reset with no results. So, I restored the Kobo Aura to factory defaults. Nothing changed. The image on screen it's a bit damaged (https://i.imgur.com/iJ1pZb0.jpg). Perhaps the screen is broken? It seems that The ereader is working but the screen doesn't update (the light button works). Before trying the screen replacement I would like to know if there is something else to try. Thanks in advance for any suggestion. tony |

Due to th screen being broken, my suggestion is to buy a Kobo Libra 2 to replace your broken Aura.

Screen replacement can be a crap shoot. You lose, and you've spent the money and you still have to buy a new Reader.
