PRS-600 Damaged casing

conundrum · 03-25-2010, 09:01 PM

Hi..
Would you believe that. I lend my brand new less than 2wks old PRS600 to someone and they drop it on concrete

the top casing is bent where the pen goes, and the pen no longer fits.

Somehow the screen survived, everything seems to work but I can't do anything about the casing.
Does anyone here have a dead unit they are parting out?

i am also after a pen...
it seems that the touch screen is also part of the front panel but these rarely break.
thanks in advance.

fwiw you can indeed see a gap between touch screen and e-ink, so adding an optical interface layer could work for fixing the glare problem.

I hope you are able to find someone who can help you out

It must feel terrible to have a near new reader damaged like that - especially by someone else!

Hope you kicked them in the nuts.

um... they don't have any. (was me gf).. LOL!

I did take some pictures of the guts when i had my unit open to see if there was any internal damage to the screen etc (there wasn't)
