Kobo Clara Colour: Replaced Screen is Faint/Grainy?

Sun, 22 Feb 2026 14:39:03 -0700

I completed the screen replacement without issue. However, when I powered it up the screen has a grainy, or faintness to it. I did the Vcom calibration and nothing changed. Is there something else that should be done, or is this a faulty screen?

Kobo Clara Colour N367: Is it possible to replace broken colour screen with BW version (N365)

Mon, 08 Jun 2026 01:26:58 -0700

I have a Kobo Clara Colour, which I purchased October 2024. As such, it is the N367 (not the N367B). Unfortunately, I managed to crack the screen while on a flight (too much pressure on device). There are currently no replacement colour screens in stock, and based on the content I've been reading, a BW screen would be more appropriate. Is it possible to replace the colour screen with the BW version (screen sold for the N365)?

Kobo Clara Colour N367B: Kobo Clara N367 screen replacement on N367B?

Mon, 06 Jul 2026 08:43:51 -0700

My Kobo Clara Color N367B's screen broke. It is completely black except for the 'Power Off' writing surrounded by horizontal lines. When I turn it on, the small liht on the top of the screen flickers, the backlight turns on on the screen, but nothing happens. I bought the only replacement screen I saw on this website, but turns out there are two different models, but only one screen available. Is it possible to use the Kobo Clara N367 screen replacement kit for the Kobo Clara N367B? Since there is no replacement for the N367B screen, it seems useless to return, and I would prefer to not have to need to purchase a new Kobo. Thank you.

Kobo Clara Colour N367B: Screen ghosting, split into quarters

Mon, 08 Jun 2026 18:34:05 -0700

How do I fix my Kobo? It was fine the night before, and has a case.

The screen is split into quarters, one (TR) ghosts with clarity, one (BR) ghosts with lines, one (BL) is functional, one (TL) is white.

I did a software update the day before this happened, if that is relevant.

Kobo Clara Colour: Screen replacement stock issue

Sun, 09 Mar 2025 20:06:44 -0700

Been waiting since January for stock to be replenished for replacement screens.

Has anyone had any luck sourcing the screens from anywhere else? I cannot find them anywhere.

I considered enquiring if I could just put a Clara B&W screen on, since I can source those, but from what I gather it won't work.

It's a bit of shame because Kobos common sense approach to repairability was one of the reasons I bought this model, and it's not like the Clara Colour is an old model.

Any help would be appreciated!
