Help - Box mod Screen Display dying

Shinobollo

Ok first things first. This is purely down to my own stupidity and nothing to do with the box. If you drop something on a regular basis, something bad is bound to happen.

The display on my Cloupor Mini has been gradually dying since it had a particularly bad fall last week.

The screen is fine - no cracks and mechanically everything seems fine but gradually, day by day, the content of the screen is disappearing from right (up / down buttons) to left (power button). It's now got to the stage where I can't see the wattage at all and the Ohm and Volt symbols are starting to fade.
Would anyone know...
1. How to strip out the workings behind the inner plastic case ?
2. If the screen / display is repairable and what might be involved ?
3. If not repairable - is it replaceable ?

I'm hoping that, given the history of the earlier version of the Mini, someone has already pulled one apart and can point me in the right direction as its a great little mod, so I'd like to keep it alive a while longer.

If not, I'll just set it aT 4v on a 1ohm coil and use it as if it was an old fixed voltage ego battery - which would be a shame.
Thanks in advance

You can buy a new one for €25. Don't think repairing it would cost any less.

True but I only have it a month and it was my first box mod.
Ah well. Now I just have to decide on whether to get another one or a Kamry 30w or a Smowell 50w or an xpro m80 plus or a .....
Will probably get something with a magnetic case as I prefer to charge batteries separately and always carry a spare.
Decisions , decisions. :-0

If you're not in a rush, these dropped on FT today.
Great deal but 10 days pre-order and 2 weeks shipping so about a month overall.

Oooh. Something to think about.
Thanks for that.
Often thought of trying to build my own pipe mod so something like this would be good practice.
I've fierce shaky hands as well and have never soldered so I'd be a wee bit nervous. But nothing ventured nothing gained.
