Nook Glowlight Plus Screen Issue - Scratched?
Hello,
Yesterday I pulled my beloved Nook Glowlight Plus out of my bag, and when I turned it on to start to read, I noticed a white spot on the screen. It looked like a speck of dust, but when I tried to wipe it away it just stayed there. In the dark, it appears to be a bright spot, with the backlight bleeding through. It doesn't feel scratched, but it looks like it is. It looks like a scratch on the top of the screen, not on the e-ink layer itself, if that makes sense. I have attached a photo. The spot is small, but it is very annoying while reading. Is there anything I can do to repair this problem? |

Likely nothing you can do to fix it. The original Glowlight was very prone to this kind of damage, I think the Plus was supposed to be better. I'm not a particular fan of covers, but if you're carrying it in a bag with other stuff something to protect the screen from scratches would be a good idea.

Did you have a case on your nook when you put it in your bag?

Yes, unfortunately the old Nook has a light diffuser which is very easily scratched, and the light is shining through the scratch. There's nothing you can do about it. I'd really suggest keeping the device in a cover to avoid such damage in the future.
