Soldered Support:
The e-paper model compatible with Inkplate 6 is ED060SC7. You can find it online from different retailers.
After replacing it, run the factory_programming_VCOM sketch for your Inkplate model to calibrate the VCOM value, which is written on the sticker of the flat cable connector - this will give you optimal contrast.
Comment out the calls to testPeripheral() and change the EEPROM_ADDRESS number to something else. The sketch should then prompt you to enter the VCOM via serial at 115200 baud. After calibration, your Inkplate should work as good as new.
