Boyue T62 screen partly stuck, any help?
I just found that my T62D (rooted) screen is not functioning correctly. There are two straps which are stuck with the wallpaper no matter where I am or how many times I do refresh. Some pictures:

Can I do anything about it?

Alas, I have seen similar pics in the past. IMO your display is broken. E-Ink displays are still very fragile, did you keep it in a cover ? Once the display is broken, part or whole of it does not refresh anymore and it gets stuck on the last image it was showing before breaking up. An e-ink display does not need much to break, it does not even need to fall on the floor, it can break just fron being carried around in a backpack, especially so if it is not in a protective cover.

The display needs to be replaced but it is so costly that you are better off getting a new e-reader. Guarantee usually does not cover broken displays.

That is too bad. I might have slept with it beside me, which would explain the mishap. This was my first device so wasn't aware of its fragility.

This sounds like a stretch but just checking, do I specifically need a T62 replacement screen or would any 6'' screen would do? And perhaps I should shoot them a mail, but do you know details about availability/cost of the screen?

Yes, I'm afraid this is a classic picture of a cracked screen substrate. Sorry.

Agreed. This is a sign of physical damage

From my, admittedly little experience, the screen prices are high enough so that its more cost effective to just get a new reader.
