Kobo Glo HD Display Replacement |
|
Introduction |
This guide shows how to remove/replace the EPD panel (including frontlight) on a Kobo Glo HD. | | ''This guide applies to the Kobo Glo HD (model N437).'' | | ''This guide does '''not''' apply to the Kobo Touch 2.0, and regular Kobo Glo and Touch models.'' | | '''You will need to perform the display replacement in a room with little to no dust, as dust and/or scratches on the back of the EPD panel can result in artefacting and/or dead pixels.''' | | '''As the display assembly and EPD panel are held on using adhesive, removing the display assembly from the bezel may result in a cracked bezel if you’re not careful, and removing the EPD panel from the display assembly may damage it.''' | | '''Please exercise caution to not bend and/or puncture the battery in the process.''' |
