Introduction
Use this guide to replace the power button board in your Kobo Clara BW eReader.
If your power button isn't working, but all other functions ''are'' working properly, you may need to replace the power button board.
Following this guide will remove your eReader's IP (Ingress Protection) rating, making it susceptible to water damage.

***Kobo supports their eReaders with a warranty. If your device is still under warranty, Kobo may be able to help.

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.
