Nook Color Display Replacement

Introduction

Go to step 1 ↓

Use this guide to replace a cracked or malfunctioning display on your Nook Color tablet (identified by model number BNRV200).

The Nook Color uses an LG display made of two glass layers separated by a thin crystal layer. Your display may need to be replaced if it becomes cracked or the touchscreen no longer responds. The display could also experience "screen burn-in" which is when some of the pixels powering the display malfunction and cause uneven lighting and colors.

Before replacing the display, be sure to remove the device from any external power source and to completely shut down the device.
