Introduction |
| Use this guide to replace the screen in your Kobo Clara BW 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 eReader into the new screen. | | | Following this guide will remove your eReader's IP (Ingress Protection) rating, making it susceptible to water damage. | | ***For your safety, discharge the battery below 25% before disassembling your eReader.*** This reduces the risk of fire if the battery is accidentally damaged during the repair. 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. |
