Bricked Aura H2O (and broken/faulty screen)
My H2O unfortunately is bricked, blocked on page 2 of a book. No hard reset was possible. Impossible to connect to a pc.
The screen showed as in picture few days ago. It has been working perfectly anyway for a couple of days, notwithstanding scrambled upper screen (still sensible to touch). Looks like the screen is broken but: - I can't remember the reader falling down or having a bump. - Software worked for days after hypotetical screen damage. I wonder if the screen issue and the brick issue could be separate ones. |

The touch is not part of the screen. The IR is just above the screen so as long as that's working, the touch will work.
As for the screen, it's broken. Best you can do is contact Kobo and see what they are willing to do for you. |

Fractured glass substrate. At some point it has been bumped, bent, or twisted. Has it been in a good case?

I suspect that the H2O is more prone to damage, don't know if because of the type of screen or sheer size of it. |
