Introduction
Use this guide to replace the screen in your Kobo Libra Colour eReader.
If your screen is cracked, unresponsive, or not lighting up, you may need to replace it.
The screen part comes with the display pre‑installed into the frame, so you'll need to transfer all the internals from your old device into the new screen.
Following this guide will remove your eReader's IP (Ingress Protection) rating, making it susceptible to water damage.
If your battery is swollen, [[What to do with a swollen battery|take appropriate precautions|new_window=true]].
After this repair, follow [guide|170983|this guide|new_window=true] to calibrate your eReader to your replacement screen. If you don't, you might experience "ghosting" or visual artifacts of the E ink.
***Kobo supports their eReaders with a warranty. If your device is still under warranty, Kobo may be able to help. Before starting a repair, [link|https://help.kobo.com/hc/en-us/articles/360020774573-View-warranty-and-legal-information-on-your-Kobo-eReader|review your warranty information|new_window=true] or [link|https://www.kobo.com/userguides|check support documentation|new_window=true].***
Conclusion
***To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.***
Remember: after repairs, your eReader is no longer IPX8 waterproof.
Compare your new replacement part to the original part—you may need to transfer remaining components or remove adhesive backings from the new part before you install it.
Take your e-waste to an [[E-Waste|R2 or e-Stewards certified recycler|new_window=true]].
