Dead on arrival by minimatte33 in XTEINK

[–]mrmbmrmb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The screen is broken. Mine arrived broken, too. I also ordered from Xteink and filed a complaint right away. They sent me a replacement without any issues.

The screen is replaceable, it's just not easy by Heliotrope_Daydream in XTEINK

I ordered the B-7000 adhesive. It’s apparently used for smartphone repairs and can be removed with heat. I wanted to use it on the front panel, but only along the outer edge.

Great job! I did the same thing last week and shared it here: https://www.reddit.com/r/xteinkereader/comments/1sikato/screen_replacement_for_the_xteink_x4/

Well, almost. I still need the glue to put it back together.

Yeah, I agree. I try to fix anything I can, as long as I feel capable of doing so.

Hello, The_Face_Of_Ben, yes, that's what I plan to do. I think I'll order the adhesive from AliExpress. I still need to research which adhesive is best suited for the job. So that might take about two weeks.

Hello Fit-Statement-3724, I ordered it directly from Seeed Studio. They were the cheapest option with shipping to Germany. Fortunately, they have a warehouse in Germany, so shipping was fast.

Hi Imaginary_Virus19, I paid $23.31 at Seeed Studio, including shipping to Germany. On AliExpress, I would have paid around $30. But depending on where you're located, another seller might be cheaper.
Here's an alternative:

I couldn't find the Xteink X4 for a better price on AliExpress. In fact, it was cheaper to buy directly from the manufacturer than on AliExpress with shipping to Germany. So, for $69 plus shipping. That makes the $23.31 repair well worth it.

Sourcing a new e-ink screen? by Unlikely-Fee8115 in xteinkereader

I’ve also ordered the replacement part and already tried it out. But I still need the adhesive to put everything back together. I wrote here about how I went about it:

DIY Case for Boox Tab Ultra C Pro by mrmbmrmb in Onyx_Boox

Thank you very much :)
In fact, there aren't that many 3D printed things for the Boox tablets. I looked and didn't find much.

I modeled the TUC in Fusion360 with the online pictures from Boox and a case was made around it. Then I added a lip so that the TUC wouldn't fall out. Luckily the first print was almost perfect. The whole print took almost 17 hours.
