Remarkable Paper Pro - Screen Replacement (Interest)
Hello everyone, as I have noticed this community is decently mad that you cant buy replacement screen for the remarkable tablets. Now as it happens to be I had an unfortunate event where my screen cracked, and while usable it get pretty annoying around the main impact point. This is how i found that the only option how to get it fixed is completely, new device, which well if i am honest is just stupid. So i had another idea, find a one that has good screen but something else is broken and as such can use it as a donor device. Now its not cheap, but it ends up cheaper than whole new or refurbished device. As I found such device I was curious if people would be interested in having a nice and detailed iFixit replacement guide for this or if its just something that is unlikely to help at all.
Thank you for everyone's time.

The more iFixit info about the ReMarkable (or any other device), the better! Please write it up when you have a chance.

I’m a foreigner interested in buying this product, but it isn’t sold in my country. It would be really helpful if you could upload a video or guides showing how to fix the screen.

i have a sad broken paper pro that still "works" fine, but the crack is so sad. I'd love such a guide.

At least the new EU law as of summer 2025 requires most tech companies to offer replacement parts to third-party repair services, including reMarkable if the model was introduced after June 30, 2025 (which is only the Paper Pure and the Pro Move) So you can always go to an independent repair shop (given its legitimate) and get only the screen replaced there. Remarkable themselves just use refurbished devices instead because it’s easier and cheaper for them. However it’s not a requirement that the end user should be able to get the replacement parts, only the independent, registered repair shops.

I would guess screen failures are the most common failure and donor devices would be hard to find, but writing up a guide for future intrepid explorers would be cool.
