Is this fixable? (inkBOOK Obsidian)

mdclanahan · 01-19-2017, 08:14 PM

I received an inkBOOK Obsidian for my birthday (December 31). I've used it quite a bit and have taken very good care of it. Today, I picked it up to use it and found it dead (photos attached). After charging, I turned it on, and the bottom part of the screen seems "stuck". I haven't done anything to damage the reader, but this certainly looks like damage to the eInk screen to me. There's a one year warranty, but I'm afraid the company is going to try to say I damaged it.

Any advice?

The eink screen is broken. You will need to try your luck with the warranty. If they dont honour the warranty you might be able to get a replacement screen from aliexpress but will need to replace the screen yourself.
