kobo glo ereader: kobo glo HD with frozen screen

Mon, 03 Nov 2025 13:06:40 -0700

I have a Kobo Glo that froze the screen with the image of a book cover and doesn't do anything.
I've tried pressing the power button for 15 seconds, pressing the reset hole with a needle and it remains the same.
It's not even detected when I connect it to the computer.

I select computer set up and it jumps to visit kobosetup.com and I have that app downloaded but then what? the app freezes and does nothing. if I select wireless set up it scans, shows the available networks and will connect. then after 5 seconds, prompts to set time zone again, then back to wifi, then back to timezone..ina. loop. I can't sing in or get to the home screen

Kobo Libra 2: Screen white and light flashing

Hi, I tried to upload a file with Calibre and the Libra 2 stopped working. I tried to reset it, but screen became white and flash began lightening. Now I can turn it on and off, but basically nothing happens, but screen is white and light is flashing. When plugged, PC recognized something but is not able to identify the device. Any idea? Thanks.

Kobo Sage: Where can I find a screen for my Kobo Sage

Wed, 13 Aug 2025 03:23:35 -0700

Hi,

The screen of my kobo sage was broken 3-days ago. As the rest of the device works perfectly, I would like to change the screen, but I can not find the piece anywhere. I have tried Ebay, Aliexpress, Ifixit. I even tried the seller of the kobo (FNAC) but apparently they can't even do the fixing themselves because they don't have the square part. So far for their "user-repairable" ad...

So anyway, I'm out of ideas as to where to look, so if anyone could give me a hint on where to find a new screen, that would be greatly appreciated.

Kobo Clara BW N365: Screen replacement for P365

Thu, 18 Sep 2025 13:00:01 -0700

I have a Kobo Clara BW P365 but I only see an N365 screen available. The install instructions say to check which model you have as the images only apply to the N365 but it's not clear if the screen is compatible with the N365, N365B, and the P365.

Anyone know?
