Introdução
The Tolino's screen broke and only one half was working anymore. This guide shows you how to replace it.
You can also just order the screen from another website you just need to make sure it is a ED060XG1 LF. The T1-11 is according to this website (https e-ink-reader.ru pvi marking en.php) more a batch number and should not matter.
O que você precisa
-
-
The front cover and back cover are glued together, we want to open the device by squeezing something in between, e.g. a not too sharp knife
-
Once you made an opening between the two covers, go around the whole device. I used a plastic little tool not to damage whatever is underneath, but you can use the knife as well.
-
-
-
Remove the back cover by unscrewing the 4 screws indicated in red
-
-
-
First disconnect the battery by pulling the red and black cable (indicated with a red circle) away from the printboard. You might have to pull quite hard
-
Disconnect the first screen cable by lifting the black piece of the long connector (indicated in yellow) away from the circuit board. The cable should then slide out
-
Disconnect the second cable (marked in blue) of the screen by lifting the white part of the connector. Once the white part is up, the cable slides out.
-
unscrew the screen from the print board (screws indicated in black on the first picture)
-
-
-
-
Squeeze something between the print board and the screen to take it off. The screen is glued at certain spots, so the screen will scatter in pieces.
-
After you separated the two you end up with a screen in a black frame. Make sure that there is no more glass sticking to the back of the print board.
-
Next, take the broken screen out of the black frame by pushing it out with your fingers.
-
-
-
Take of the protective plastic from the cover
-
Put the black frame on the screen
-
Pull the cables through the print board
-
Click the print board on the two pins of the black frame. One of them is indicated on the picture with a pink arrow
-
-
-
First connect the small connector, then the bigger one. Push the cables all the way in the connectors and close them. Make sure you push the cables in far enough. Close the small connector by pushing the white part of the connector down towards the cable and close the big connector by pushing the black part down away from the cable
-
Once the screen is reconnected you can reconnect the battery by pushing the connector back in from the top down (see third picture).
-
Fix the screen on the board by screwing the screws back in place
-
-
-
put the tolino back in it's back cover. Mind that the on switch fits well on the switch of the plastic cover (see blue circle on picture)
-
Flip the on switch once to see if the screen works. Also test the touch and the backlight. If one of them does not work, take the back cover off again and reconnect the cables of the screen.
-
If everything works screw the screen in place (see red circles)
-
click the front cover on again and you're done!

I've dove all the steps, but the touch screen is unresponsive (the Device turn on) any help please
I have the exact same issue. Did you find any solutions?
Hi,
Have you tried disconnecting and reconnecting the cables?
Same here, and I also tried reconnecting all the cables! Somebody who found a solution?
Hello Francis,
Where can i find a screen for tolino shine 2? I’ve cracked mine and i cannot find any screens. Could you give me some links? And can you tell me if i can put other screens, like from kobo or kindle, that can work on tolino shine 2? Is it possible to replace the screen with other than Tolino’s?
Thank you
Hi,
You can find the serial number of your screen back on the cable connecting the screen to the device, so if you open up the Tolino until step 3 you’ll find a serial number at the back of the largest cable. In case of the Shine 1 it’s ED060XG1 LF , maybe it’s something else with you. You google that serial number and you’ll find a lot of shops selling them. It could be that it’s branded for another type of e reader like kobo, but that does not matter, multiple manufacturers use the same components, you just have to make sure that the serial code is the same because screens with different serial numbers are not cross compatible.
Good luck
Where can i by such a display for a tolino shine 3
If your Tolino does not respond, try resetting it.
Link to German instructions (use Google translate or something else):
https://mytolino.com/faq/my-tolino-eread...
For this device here (quote from above source):
(tolino vision, tolino vision2, tolino vision 3, tolino vision 4, tolino shine, tolino shine 2, tolino page)
To perform a reset, simply press the reset button. This is located in a small opening on the bottom of your tolino eReader. Insert a bent paper clip, for example, into the opening until you feel a slight resistance. Your tolino eReader will then restart.
...leider funkioniert dieser Anwendungstip nicht ohne Warmluft - Foen. Das dünne Gehäuse bricht sonst.
Leider erhält man keine Möglichkeit zum Nachbestellen eines Gehäuses vom Hersteller.( z.B.: Gerät zu alt oder andere Ausreden!) Gemäß dem Motto wegschmeißen... und Neu kaufen... War ja bekantermaßen Gestern ;-)
Reparieren ist Trumpf und gibt ein gutes Gefühl! Für die Umwelt....
