Introduction

Go to step 1 ↓

Use this guide to replace the back cover on your Kobo Clara Colour (N367B model) eReader.

Important: There are two Clara Colour versions: N367 and N367B. Check your eReader's model number (printed near the bottom of the rear case) before starting this guide. This guide is for the N367B model.

The back cover includes the external power button.

Note: Replacement back covers don't have a printed serial number, so you'll have to refer to your eReader's internal settings for your serial number after this repair.

Kobo supports their eReaders with a warranty. If your device is still under warranty, Kobo may be able to help. Before starting a repair, review your warranty information or check support documentation.

Note: Some photos used in this guide are of different Kobo Clara models. Any slight visual discrepancies won't affect the guide procedure.

1. Step 1 Before you begin
  Drain your eReader's battery as much as possible before starting your repair. Ideally, it should be fully discharged.
  
  Optionally, to drain the battery faster, navigate to More → Settings → Energy saving and privacy and set Automatically go to sleep after and Automatically power off after to Never.
  
  When working on or near the battery, don't use sharp metal tools to avoid puncturing and shorting the battery.
  
  Unplug all cables and fully shut down your eReader.
  
  Your screen should be black and say Powered off.

7. Step 6 Remove the back cover
  At this point, you should be able to grip the back cover and release its remaining clips. If not, slide a pick under the perimeter of the back cover until you can grip an edge.
  
  Grip the left edge of the back cover and lift it away from the eReader to release the remaining clips.
  
  Remove the back cover.
  
  During reassembly, align the back cover over the eReader and press along the perimeter until all its clips snap back into place.
