Introduction
Go to step 1 ↓Use this guide to replace the back cover on your Kobo Clara BW (N365 model) eReader.
Important: There are three Clara BW versions: N365, N365B, and P365. Check your eReader's model number (printed near the bottom of the rear case) before starting this guide. This guide is for the N365 model.
The back cover includes the external power button.
Note: Replacement back covers don't have a printed serial number, so you'll have to refer to your eReader's internal settings for your serial number after this repair.
Kobo supports their eReaders with a warranty. If your device is still under warranty, Kobo may be able to help. Before starting a repair, review your warranty information or check support documentation.
Note: Some photos used in this guide are of different Kobo Clara models. Any slight visual discrepancies won't affect the guide procedure.
