Hi everyone,

I'm a first time Kobo owner here, got my Aura in used condition last week. Turns out it is a lemon, yesterday night the screen just randomly stopped working after being left alone for one night.

I have disassembled the device and it seems like the glass layer (substrate?) beneath the display had cracked, even though I have never dropped it. Talked to the seller and no most likely no meaningful refund or resolution proposal is going to happen.

As such, I'd like to see how I could replace the display, and what should I look out for in the process?

I'm looking at this display: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3294...c00iQUtA9&mp=1 (I'm getting it with the frame). Is this a good choice or should I look somewhere else?

Thanks in advance.
