Hi Cees,
You can look for products sold on amazon in different countries using the ASIN number.
Here's a link for the Netherlands: https://www.amazon.nl/dp/B071HW4Z6N

Good luck with your repair!

Thanks a lot! Great info.

Cees Doets -

Yes yes yes. Both my Aranet’s work again.

Thanks for the guide! I successfully repaired my Aranet4 by following it. A couple of notes:

- I was able to get a better price than Amazon for the replacement display at https://www.waveshare.com/product/displa....

- The connector for the flexible printed circuit board on my model didn't flip up, but instead slides forward. I found documentation for the connector (or something very very similar to it) here: https://www.te.com/content/dam/te-com/do... (search for "Stuffer Actuator (Plunger Style)")

Thanks for the information, I have updated the guide to include the stuffer actuator connector!
As for the display, I have added the black and white version off the display you provided to the Item table. (waveshare.com/1.54inch-e-paper.htm)

thanks for the wave share source above! Anything else I need to know or buy? I can just pop out the old and pop in the new screen and it’s fully compatible and will just work? (Assuming nothing other than screen is the problem).

Hey Dizzy jungle, the new screen is fully compatible; you can replace it without any further steps, just remove the old one and put the new one in. You can check if the current screen is cracked (on the rear) this is the most common issue with these e-ink screens.
