Kobo Glo HD - Power button

koboist · 08-23-2023, 01:23 PM

Hi all,

The plastic cover of the power button of my Kobo Glo HD is defect. The power switch itself works fine, but the button is not "pushable" anymore ("no spring effect").

I opened the Kobo and expected to find some broken/dislodged parts (for example, a spring or so), but there was none. So I suspect the power button mechanism works without a spring. See also attached image.

Does anybody have some pictures how a working Kobo Glo HD power button looks like? I'd like to check if I have all parts, or if something is missing. And how the power button has to be attached.

Thank you.

Just bumping this topic :-)

Kobo Glo HD still works great, but it would be nice to know how to fix the loose power button.
