My nook simple touch was ruined because my sister added pressure to it by accident. This caused for most of the pixels in the top left corner to turn white and it looks scratched on the inside plus its nook button wont work. Do you think its fixable ?

[Matthias Dailey]

You can't really fix the screen, but you might be able to replace it. Look online for replacement screens for your model. As for the button, you could disassemble the nook and see what's broken. If the motherboard is cracked, then you'll have to replace that too. You might end up having to buy a new nook.

Do you know where can I get a new battery?

[Matthias Dailey]

I don't know... You could check on the internet. Maybe Amazon has something.

hello. is there any hardware reset buttom in there or something that help me completly reset the device ? (any of the other reset methods worked)

[Andrew Singleton]

I've got a broke nook. Buttons feel like they respond (The glowlight will come on) But the screen does not change. Doesn't go to sleep mode doens't change to 'your nook is powered off' it' stuck on the last page i've read.

Any ideas?

Thank you very much! Your video was incredibly helpful. My Nook is working again :D

Thank you SO much! I was damaging my fingers and the plastic trying to rip the damn thing apart because that's what the forums say... glad I found your video. It was a simple matter of sliding it downwards, so silly. Thanks.

If you press them together correctly, they should slide into alignment. Try inspecting the points of contact for debris.
