Title	Kobo Clara BW (P365) Power Button Board Replacement
Introduction	Use this guide to replace the power button board in your Kobo Clara BW (P365 model) eReader. ***Important:*** There are two Clara BW versions: ***N***365 and ***P***365. Check your eReader's model number (printed near the bottom of the rear case) before starting this guide. This guide is for the P365 model. Click [guide|172043|here|new_window=true] for the N365 model guide instead. 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. If your battery is swollen, [[What to do with a swollen battery|take appropriate precautions|new_window=true]]. ***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].*** ***Note:*** Some photos used in this guide are of different Kobo Clara models. Any slight visual discrepancies won't affect the guide procedure.

Difficulty	Moderate
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. Make sure each of your device's main functions still work, e.g., LED backlight, touch, Wi-Fi, etc. Take your e-waste to an [[E-Waste|R2 or e-Stewards certified recycler|new_window=true]]. Repair didn’t go as planned? Try some [[Troubleshooting Problems After a Repair|basic troubleshooting]], or ask our Answers Community for help.
