PRS-505 disassembly

Great thing is this e-book, though in crooked hands, it served only 10 days. Actually, how much it costs. In short, most likely sat down on this device, it is clearly seen in the picture:

The characteristic "glass" crunch when lightly pressed in the indicated place finally dispelled doubts about the strange image on the screen.



In general, of course, you should not poke around in these fragile devices yourself, but the close cost of repairing a new device allowed me to try to remove the broken display myself.



Now in order. Unscrew the 4 bolts on the back wall. We unscrew the bolt in the recess of the strap. Carefully remove the plastic top and bottom cover with keys / connectors / sockets.

We unscrew the three bolts in the lower part (the thread here is different than on the first bolts).





Removing in the upper part of a pair of brackets, designed to increase the stiffness in the upper part of the body.





Next - no idea what to do. Presumably push the keys located on the right side of the case and remove the device directly hidden inside. I, unfortunately, made a mistake and damaged the flexible cable connecting the keyboard. (Maybe you could squeeze the device down and then the connector would be available and you could disconnect the keyboard from the device?)

The remaining connectors, of course, are available after removing the device from the case. Remove the connectors, unscrew the bolts.











And finally - the very heart of the e-book and a bad tooth (broken display).
