Kalleta 5 years ago	@marco - check software updates. What software is on your kindle? If you're not running 3.43 you need to update
marco 6 years ago	Good Morning, I replaced my logic board on my kindle 3rd gen who was originally a 3G model with a logic board for a WiFi model. I can connect to the Wifi but it doesn't open any site. it says that the kindle is unable to connect. I checked all the connectors and it's all properly connected, any suggestions on how to solve this?
Amy 7 years ago	Please could you suggest why this is happening?
Amy 7 years ago	I replaced the screen of my kindle generation 3, but now all my screensavers and pictures are faded, even though all the words are fine and legible.
Anna 7 years ago	My right page turn is not working properly anymore. It either doesn't respond at all, or flips 2-4 pages at once. The right side works fine, so I think it's just been worn out... what part would I need to replace to fix it?
Jaeon 8 years ago	GS20678 Amazon Kindle 3 Midboard with Keyboard worked !
Lori Kresse 8 years ago	I don't know whether it's a battery problem or a screen prob! Screen is striped, like when a printer is running low on ink. Charged it and the light was yellow for a while then turned green. Power on, green light comes on for a few seconds then goes off. Screen never responds. Tried resets, green light blinks then shuts off. Took battery out for a few minutes and put back in, no change. It had been sitting idle for several months unused. Been in a safe place so it hasn't sustained damage. What do ya think?
Alexandra Shandling 8 years ago	Thank you so much. I ordered a new screen and used your video to replace my broken one. I am not at all handy but your instructions were easy to follow and clear. My Kindle is as good as new. I'm thrilled. Thank you.
Aim 8 years ago	@Jonathan tran - Hi Jon, Did you ever find out what was wrong with your kindle 3? I am having similar keyboard issues with mine and would love to replace a part, if simple enough. When I hit the "right" arrow key on the keyboard (in the 4 direction square) it registers as "enter" instead.
Pavel A 9 years ago	My kindle is frozen om the Ralph Ellison screen. It gives me a yellow light as its charging, but no green light when I try to power on and no green light when I try to hard reset. I have tried the battery removal and it doesn't seem to work. Do you think this would be a motherboard issue or is it something else?
kkitty 9 years ago	Ok I had a kindle model D00901 with 3g. It's screen broke so I got a used one to replace it from amazon. They sent me the wrong color so they gave me a full refund on it and I got to keep it. Well now I realized that they also sent me one that doesn't have 3g like the one I ordered. I really don't want to order another and go through the long transfer process again. Is there anyway I can take the 3g card from my broken kindle and put it in my new wifi one? Please let me know asap so I know if I have to order it all over again.
Joanna 9 years ago	I replaced the mother board and now my kindle is no longer frozen. Yay! But, now the screen has tiny horizontal lines that are evenly spaced all the way down the screen. Like a printout with low ink. Do you think I need to replace the screen? (Thanks for the video - it was really helpful. BTW, there are 12 screws that hold the mother board down - the video says 11)
Powerbook Medic 9 years ago	@joanna - most likely
joanna 9 years ago	My kindle 3 is frozen. The reboot does not work. It seems as if it tries to reboot itself but then gets frozen because sometimes the screen is white, sometimes it has the tree with a status bar at varying stages. I don't think it's the battery. Does it seem like a motherboard issue?
Jan 10 years ago	My kindle had liquid spilled on it. I enclosed it in rice but the screen locks up after 20 minutes The search bar appears and the back button won't get rid of it. What needs to be replaced?
Powerbook Medic 10 years ago	@fmarsh - the wifi motherboard is in the part list to the right.
fmarsh 10 years ago	Do you have motherboards without 3g. If not is this motherboard compatible with mine (no 3G)
Powerbook Medic 10 years ago	@fmarsh - it is hard to say without seeing it in shop, but it may be a bad motherboard.
fmarsh 10 years ago	My Kindle 3 (no 3G) has freeze. I have tried the hard reset and even took off the battery for 2 minutes with no results, when I plug the charger the yellow led lights for only 10 sec or more.
bothenook 10 years ago	tried swapping out the midplane with keyboard to correct the failed selector switch in the middle of the 4 way. Still toast. Any ideas?
Powerbook Medic 10 years ago	@Anna - what was the kindle doing before? It may be something else. If your old board was working better than the replacement you may want to reinstall that one and make sure it turns on. You may also want to send it to us or take it somewhere for repair so other parts can be tested.
Anna 10 years ago	I've just changed the 3 G motherboard to my kindle 3 with the new one that you just sent me, but the kindle wont turn on and has lines across the screen, do you now what the problem could be? The screen is new as well.
Nell Matthews 11 years ago	I managed to catch my Kindle touch under a fitness machine and put a crease in the upper rt edge of the case - not the screen. The screen now has a 1.3 cm band of text that doesn't change, a 7.6 x 5.8 cm blank rectangle in the lower left, and what's left works fine. I guess that the motherboard was damaged?
Mary 11 years ago	I replaced my screen, which had been stepped on, using this video. It fired up perfectly the first time, but the next time I went to use it, the screen was showing lines across the screen and a cracked/spider web pattern that looks like the damage on the original. I have tried resetting it, but no change. Any ideas?
ACM 11 years ago	I am looking to make this repair and wanted to make sure your replacement screen comes with the sticky tape already on it to secure the replacement screen. Thanks!
Mig 11 years ago	Hello, I'm assembling back my kindle 3, where exactly does the golden washer go? I totally forgot.
Yolanda Washington 11 years ago	My Kindle will not pick up, much less connect to WiFi. I can still read books on it; however I can't connect to WiFi to download, update, etc... Does this mean that I need to replace the WiFi motherboard?
Casey 11 years ago	Thanks SO much for this site!! And your store.. and the video.. got my dead Kindle 3 back to life for $35.00... YAY!
Liliana 11 years ago	@Paul- thank you.
Powerbook Medic 11 years ago	@Liliana - I'm not sure. Most likely. The 3G motherboards are pretty rare so there is no ETA.
Liliana 11 years ago	Hi, I think I have the same problem as Simon did 3 months ago. Do you know if replacing the motherboard fixed the problem? I just replaced the screen and it still isn't doing anything. I tried to order the part via your site and apparently it's not available right now. Is there an ETA?
Nestor 11 years ago	Very good. My Kindle are perfectly repair!!! Thanks
Powerbook Medic 11 years ago	@Paul - thanks for the info. Why Amazon uses the same model numbers for different models baffles me.
Paul 11 years ago	@PowerbookMedic. The model shown in the video is NOT 3G! The screw is about 3/4" to the right of the left side speaker screw. See photos here---> flickr.com/gp/100815967@N03/21UFiE/ Also there are 12 (not eleven as indicated) screws to remove holding the logic board.
Powerbook Medic 11 years ago	@mike - it really depends what the error is. If you bought the board from us, please contact customer support and they can help you.
mike 11 years ago	I purchased a wifi motherboard a midboard with keyboerad and wifi place holder. I can not get it to register at amazon.What's the problem.
Powerbook Medic 11 years ago	@Paul - where is the additional screw you have on yours? The model taken apart in this video is a D00901 like your own. I know of only two revisions of this model (a white and a graphite) both released at the same time, and we've never noticed a difference.
Paul 11 years ago	Hi, I have a kindle 3g+wifi (model d00901) which needed a screen replacement. I followed the link for that model which brought me to this video. Following the procedure in this video is incorrect for this device and further damaged my kindle. (the removal of the speaker for my device requires an additional screw to be removed, otherwise it will tear off from the printed circuit on the back of speaker) please update your videos to include proper procedures for this model, so others will not meet the same fate!!
Powerbook Medic 11 years ago	@Carol - we do repair kindles. You can submit a quote request and one of our techs will get back to you with an estimated repair cost.
Carol 11 years ago	Do you repair Kindles? I have Kindle 3 and it won't open. I doesn't have a green light after the charge. Sometimes it has 1/2 a page of black screen but moving forward or backwards fixes it.
Norm G 11 years ago	I replaced the screen I ordered from you for my Kindle 3 and it now is working again. I had sat on my Kindle and broke the screen. Thanks for a great video and good service.
Pete 11 years ago	I am glad to find your website. My kindle get frozen after minute or so. Shut down, keyboard, menu, is not working. Only 20 sec restart. I tried to restart, reset, installed updates, changed the battery. It get frozen anyway less than a minute after restart. What is your suggestion?
Powerbook Medic 11 years ago	@Nick - it won't need the software reinstalled. You will have to re-register the kindle again.
Nick 11 years ago	My kindle is in perfect state, apparently the only problem is that the motherboard is burned. I'm thinking in buying you one of those. But first I've got some questions. After replacing the motherboard,(apparently i can do it by myself) Does the kindle 3 wifi needs to reinstall some software? In the case it needs, how i can get it installed? Does it need more changes after that? Thanks a lot!!!
Powerbook Medic 11 years ago	@Simon - that is strange. I'm not sure what else it could be honestly. All I can suggest is sending it to us for a free diagnosis or if you have someone local that can test it out further.
Simon 11 years ago	OK, so I first replaced the logic board, then ordered the screen and replaced it. Still no luck. The logic board does not seem to be communicating with the screen. The screen I took out did not have any visible damage. I tried the reset again too. Nothing. What is left. I have lost hope now and yet am intrigued as to what could have gone wrong. Any other thoughts?? thanks Simon
Powerbook Medic 11 years ago	@Nick - at that point I would say yes.
NickC 11 years ago	My kindle is frozen, it will give me a yellow light as its charging, but no green light when I try to power on and no green light when I try to hard reset. I have tried the battery removal and it doesn't seem to work. I now try to connect with usb to my pc and it fails to connect. Do you think this would be a motherboard issue?
Powerbook Medic 11 years ago	@Simon - I would probably try the screen first.
Simon 11 years ago	Hi, my kindle 3 is stuck on the screen saver screen. No damage or impact or sudden temperature changes, just one day... frozen screen. I have tried the hard and soft resets multiple times; disconnected the battery, waited then reconnected. There is no obvious damage to the screen. The voice guide is working, so the Kindle turns on and off and navigates pages etc just can't see any of it. I have read the other posts here, do I need a new motherboard or screen? Thanks for your help and great tips!
Russ 11 years ago	I failed to mention that directly after I dropped my kindle, it was blank, and after several resets, it is now sort-of limping along. At first, it kept toggling from the Home screen to the selected book, then back again. Then I'd do another reset, and it would be on the last page read, frozen. Another reset, and it would go to the 'screen-saver' screen. Very intermittent. Please help-I can't go back to normal books! Thanks. Russ
Russ 11 years ago	I dropped my Kindle Keyboard. Now, the spring-loaded power switch on the bottom edge is very tight, and doesn't spring back anymore. Can be moved if you push it. Machine now does uncalled-for things, too, like go to the Home screen when you turn the page, but only intermittently. What needs replacement? Thank you. RPV
Powerbook Medic 11 years ago	@Elise - we sell a #00 screwdriver in the tools list to the right. Some jewelers screwdriver kits will have one small enough.
Elise 11 years ago	what size phillips screwdriver do you use? I cannot find one small enough for the tiniest screws. Do you sell one here that will work?
Melvin Kreider 12 years ago	this was the greatest experience with electronics.the broken screen rendered this device useless.now I have a working kindle 3G Wi-Fi again thank you!YEAH !!!!
Powerbook Medic 12 years ago	@George - the midboard has the contacts for the buttons. I would try cleaning that off if there is anything visibly wrong there. If not, we sell it in the part list to the right.
George 12 years ago	12 oz. of liquid was spelt on my wife’s Kindle D00901 we dried it off and put it in rice overnight, reset it and everything seems to work but the 5way navigation buttons it is stuck in the down position in that the buttons move, but the cursor goes to the bottom of any screen that I can access and it will not select. After watching your excellent instructional video I am confident that I can change out any defective parts, but I have no idea as to which part that would be can you offer and suggestions?
Powerbook Medic 12 years ago	@Tamara - we offer a repair service if you want to send it in. We have a free diagnosis and if you decide not to have it repaired by us, you'll only be responsible for the shipping costs or you can choose to sell the device to us.
Tamara 12 years ago	It wasn't hard at all to replace the screen. This video was a great tool! However, now I'm having all kinds of problems with the keyboard and the ink showing up on the screen. I'm not sure what is wrong. Electronics are so touchy...it's like once it's open and exposed, it's never the same. It looks like I'm going to have to breakdown and order another Kindle. Electronics nowadays are made to be disposable...it's a shame.
tammy 12 years ago	how hard was it to replace the screen. I have replaced screens on my macbook as wells as other laptops
Powerbook Medic 12 years ago	@Tamara - The keyboard contacts themselves are part of the midboard. You can see that in the part list to the right. That connects to the motherboard.
Tamara 12 years ago	Where does the keyboard connect? I thought it just laid in there?
Powerbook Medic 12 years ago	@Tamara - it definitely sounds like it is connected wrong or the connection is dirty. I'd open it back up, blow out the connection with some compressed air, and reconnect it.
Tamara 12 years ago	Hi, I recently bought a Kindle screen from you and replaced it. I put everything back together to discover that the keyboard is not working correctly. The home key takes me to the kindle store, when I push a letter, it types a different letter and the scroll key doesn't work at all. Did I connect something wrong? Please help! Thank you!
Powerbook Medic 12 years ago	@Maria - sometimes the Kindle needs to be reset. Turn the kindle off then slide and hold the power button for 30 seconds then let go.
Maria 12 years ago	I just got a kindle 3 screen from your site, I replaced it according to the video but when i turn it on the screen doesnt chsnge. It's stuck on the definition of kindle and says slide power, i checked the power and it is on
Powerbook Medic 12 years ago	@Kim - make sure you try holding the power switch in the on position for 20 seconds and make sure it doesn't reset. That usually fixes that, if not try plugging it into your computer. It's rarely a hardware issue, but in the end it could be either the battery or motherboard.
Kim 12 years ago	I have a kindle 3 model D00901. My daughter had it and now it does not turn on. It wont hold even stay on when I turn it on. I am not sure if it is the motherboard or should I try and replace the battery first? I tried pulling the batter out, and I plugged it into my computer and the light was yellow. Any suggestions would help
Powerbook Medic 12 years ago	@Chris - sometimes you can take the battery out for awhile and it'll reset itself if the usual methods don't work.
CHRIS 12 years ago	My kindle has frozen and wont respond i have tried hard resetting it and get nothing can it be repaired?
Bill 12 years ago	Does the number D00901(B) 003WWA1004XX look like the number you're looking for? This Kindle belongs to a friend who has already replaced it with a Kindle Fire (hope she doesn't get her axx burned). I was mainly trying to get her fixed up for a spare, but any help is appreciated.
Powerbook Medic 12 years ago	@Phylis - it really depends what is damaged. If it is just the screen, it wouldn't be too expensive. We sell the parts to the right. If you are wanting us to repair it, I'd recommend starting a repair quote through the Send-in service link at the top of our site.
Phylis 12 years ago	I have a Kindle 3..my grandson kneeled on it and damaged internally. Have any guess as to what the repair costs would be? Model no. D00901. The glass is not shattered.
Powerbook Medic 12 years ago	@Bill - none of those look right. Kindle serials typically start with a B. If you can't get the back off, you may just want to send it to us to do.
Bill 12 years ago	Thanks for the quick reply. If the serial # is the CMIIT ID, it starts off with:2010 The only other numbers are the FCC ID# and a IC 8960 number. There are also numbers associated with other manufacturers like ANATEL #1055 etc.
Powerbook Medic 12 years ago	@Bill - amazon has started adding some crazy adhesive to the battery that sits in the very middle of the back. You can have all the clips popped out and it'll still stay strong. You need a long flat tool like a putty knife to slide in there and start loosening the adhesive. As far as your model, if you can provide the first 4 of your serial number (not the model number on the back), we can check what you have.
Powerbook Medic 12 years ago	@carolyn - it is most likely the motherboard at this point. you can try that or you can send the kindle to us and we can run a full diagnosis on it.
Bill 12 years ago	Apparently there is a different version of the Kindle 3 that's in your video. My model D00901 with frozen screen - showing 67% battery power, and the green power light does come on after about 15 seconds, however it only has two access slots on the left side of the unit, and although I can get the tool into the slots, the back shows no signs of loosening up for me. The product is put together well, just not made to last. Any ideas?
carolyn 12 years ago	After 1.5 years of use my kindle will not turn on. I have purchaseed a replacemtn battery from you and installed/charged. Kindle will still not start. there is the picture of the reader under the tree on the screen. no other lights or ect will come on , any Idea what to do next?
Powerbook Medic 12 years ago	@Ray - I would open it back up and check the contacts on the battery and logic board. Make sure they are clean and getting a good connection. Besides that, we'd really need to see it in the shop to further diagnose it.
Ray 12 years ago	Hi! I am back again. I used this excellent video to open the Kindle and replace the battery. Charged it up and it did OK. But now, after one night of use (say 4 hours) no light came on. I charged it overnight and the green light was on in the morning. Then without use in the afternoon the yellow light came on. All this while, the charger was plugged in. Any ideas on what is happening or if I need to do something? Thanks for your help!
Powerbook Medic 12 years ago	@Teddy - we sell the battery separately. it is listed in the parts to the right. For shipping, add the items to your cart and proceed to checkout. You can put in your shipping address there to get shipping options and pricing.
Teddy 12 years ago	I want to order the Amazon Kindle 3 E-Ink Screen Display, do you have a set which comes with the battery? what part number should I order? Do you ship outside US?How much would it cost to send to Mongolia? Please advice
Powerbook Medic 12 years ago	@clutch - if the 20 second reset doesn't fix it, it most likely needs a screen, yes.
Kenneth E. Miklos 12 years ago	This video enabled me to fix my Kindle. Without it I would never have been able to get it apart and together again. As far as assembly goes just write everything down and go in reverse. I changed a broken screen and it works fine now. Only problem I had is there are two aluminum washers that go under the battery that are not mentioned in the video. I was at a loss where they went when I removed the motherboard they fell off. I had to take my other keyboard kindle apart to find out where they went. Now I would know how to change any other components that might go out. I bought a spare batter but maybe I should have a spare motherboard too. Your magnetic screwdriver is a life saver with those tiny screws too. Thanks for all the help. I am a grateful customer.
clutch instinct 12 years ago	The screen on my kindle has several lines running through it (looks like an etch-a-sketch). It is not frozen, as you can switch to different pages, but the lines continue to show up. I tried the reboot suggestion but there was no change. Do I need an entirely new screen or is the issue something else?
KristinaD 12 years ago	Love this site! The video was so clear and easy to follow, I feel confident enough to troubleshoot my Kindle. Wish me luck!
Powerbook Medic 12 years ago	@Ray - I would check the connections on the battery and most likely replace it. Your issues definitely sound like a battery issue.
Ray 12 years ago	Wow, this is a wonderful site! I have a kindle 3 that has some sporatic symptoms. Sometimes it takes forever to charge up. Sometimes even with a full charge, I can only read for an hour or two and it quits. Lastly, quite a number of times, it simply won't start. This has been partially been solved by charging, however, sometimes I can't get it to cahrge. Finally when all else fails, I give it a good rap like people do to pack a new pack of cigarettes. Then it may turn on or at least allow me to charge it. I am more than happy to open it up. Until I saw you video I was thinking about a loose battery wire, however that doesn't seem to exist now. I have a volt meter and can check the battery voltage but not the draw down. Any ideas on what I might do? Thanks in advance for your help!
Powerbook Medic 12 years ago	@Mik - that's where I'd start.
Mik 12 years ago	Hi, I stood on my kindle and there was slight cracking noise, although there is no outward sign of damage to the screen, aside from a few lines appearing here and there, it does not react at all. Power lights react as expected on power up and on reset but no joy with either soft reset or factory reset. I presume most likely a new screen required, but is likely to be anything else?
Philip K. 12 years ago	I am having freezing problems. it keeps needing a restart and i cant use it for more than a few pages. i am able to replace parts but i want to only do it once. would this be a mid broad or motherboard problem?
Dan 12 years ago	My Kindle froze on the start-up screen. I have tried rebooting. The reboot starts, but the progress bar freezes about 1/4 of the way. The battery is completely charged.
Powerbook Medic 12 years ago	@Shaun - just check the contacts for the battery, make sure there is no corrosion or burnt out chips or contacts. If we had it in shop, we'd check for damage on the motherboard and if none was found, the easiest check is to pop another known working battery in there and see if it fixes it. If not, then move on to the motherboard replacement.
Shaun 12 years ago	@ PM: Ok, but to check the battery I need to do what? I have no voltage meter, but I have a Batteries Plus nearby; will they check for me?..or is there another option I'm not familiar with? Thanks for the speedy response previously.
Powerbook Medic 12 years ago	@Shaun - sounds like it is most likely the motherboard with those two issues. You may want to check the battery just to be sure first though.
Shaun 12 years ago	My Kindle 3 wifi only dropped and will not turn on or hard restart. Apart from replacing the motherboard - I assume - is there a connection or trouble area I should check before I replace? Maybe I can reconnect something loose. Other than that, I can't get a green light from charging either; is that a motherboard issue too?
Jonathan tran 12 years ago	the kindle keyboard glitches when i try to type, the arrow keys and some selected letters throughout the board dont work either. what part should i buy? possibly the mid board with keyboard?
Powerbook Medic 12 years ago	@Derek - there is a restocking fee for returning an item that has no issue. If you aren't sure which is the problem, you may want to send it to us to do for a labor fee and avoid the back and forth shipping costs.
Derek 12 years ago	Thanks. If I buy the screen and it doesn't fix it, can I return it then order the motherboard? If I have to buy both and keep both I may as well buy a new Kindle.
Powerbook Medic 12 years ago	@Derek - it can be either. The screen is more likely the culprit though.
Derek 12 years ago	For a frozen screen (no physical dasmage to the screen, just frozen with lines on it), is that the motherboard or the screen which needs to be replaced?
Paul Tomlinson 12 years ago	Great guide. Well done Guys. Just replaced the front cover on my Kindle with one supplied by you. I could not have done the job withou it. I do have an issue with the battery meter display. It now just shows a question mark on the battery display and no usage. I did also damage the 3G antenna when removing the speakers. As I use mainly with wifi this may not present an issue. Can I suggest you add a comment on the video to remove the third antenna screw on 3G models.
Finn 12 years ago	My Kindle screen randomly cracked one day. I used this video to take the whole thing apart and remove the broken screen. Then I ordered a screen through PowerMedic and put it back together. It works! Excellent video and the screen I ordered is in pretty good condition.
Patti 12 years ago	I repaired my kindle screen by using this video. it was great for taking it apart and I got lucky putting it back together but maybe could have used some pointers on the process as I wasnt quite sure I was getting all the connections right. Thanks though I now have my kindle back in working order!
joanna 12 years ago	Is the Kindle 3 3g different inside than the WiFi version. Mine seems to have an extra wire that goes through the speaker assembly. Thanks!
Juli 12 years ago	I dropped my Kindle Keyboard in the bathtub the other day, I have let it dry out, but I still have the boot error - 200 on my screen. I have tried the reset and it's not responding. What part/s do I need to replace?
Powerbook Medic 12 years ago	@Taylor - if you hold the power button in the on position for 20 seconds, that should reset the screen and hopefully get rid of the lines.
Taylor 12 years ago	i woke up this morning and noticed that there was a bunch of lines through my kindle screen ..... is there anyway to fix this ? ive reset the kindle ..nothing .. i got the back off right now.. help.
Greg 12 years ago	My keyboard seems to be messed up. When pushing the "forward" or "back" page buttons, instead of turning the page, each button produces a group of odd characters (6h7v, qoj8b, 45,...) Also, some of the keys seems to be messed up as well. Would this be an issue with the midboard or the motherboard?
Powerbook Medic 12 years ago	@CDB - unfortunately no. you'll need to replace the motherboard.
Powerbook Medic 12 years ago	@Andy - I've heard that issue can sometimes be caused by a case for the kindle. If you have a case, take it off, and try again.
CDB 12 years ago	Can the USB port be replaced independently?
Andy 12 years ago	Hello, Thank you for this great tutorial! My Kindle shows the screen "Error. Your Kindle Encountered an Error. [...] BOOT ERROR: -200" Do you know which parts I might need to fix this?
Powerbook Medic 12 years ago	@Laura - we sell the parts in the list to the right. it may end up being the motherboard though with water damage.
Laura 12 years ago	My kindle's keyboard got damaged in one of the worst rains ive seen. it only affected the keyboard (i opened it to be sure). Any recommendations?
Powerbook Medic 12 years ago	@Diana - you most likely need the midboard. we sell it in the part list to the right.
Diana 12 years ago	My Kindle keyboard is damaged. The damage is not with the screen. It is with the display. It only shows the lower half. Are you able to help?
Earl A 12 years ago	Wife's kindle will not unlock and have tried all the hold switch exercises. Any suggestions?
djohns 12 years ago	This video made it very easy to replace the cracked screen on my wife's Kindle 3. The used replacement screen ordered from here had no noticable blemishes and seems to be working fine. Thanks for everything.
Atinker 12 years ago	Thanks so much for posting this. Purchased a new screen from you. It arrived in two days! I was able to install it by following this video and my Kindle is working like new! Thanks again.
Ralph 12 years ago	Excellent video - took a lot of the stress away from replacing a broken screen. Note - the 3G model has an additional screw holding in the antenna assembly to the speaker bar that needs to be removed at the same time, as well as a clip on antenna cable going over the bar that can be flipped up to disconnect it.
Cassandra 12 years ago	I accidentally put my knee on the back of my kindle and cracked the screen to the point of uselessness. I thought all was lost, but I brought my hopes to the internet and blindly stumbled upon this video. I found it extremely easy to understand and to follow and immediately started surgery. When I didn't notice any damage except to the screen, I ordered the part, which I also found very convenient that this site has all parts handy. A Saturday night purchase resulted in a Wednesday delivery with the most basic of shipping options. After putting the kindle back together, I am pleased to find it as new again. My only suggestion would be to have this video in the reverse to help put it all back together again.
Richard Huntley AIIE LCGi 12 years ago	Excellent video for Kindle 3. Can you help me with a kindle 4th generation. I am unable to seperate the screen from the metal plate, it is attached to
Powerbook Medic 12 years ago	@paul - the port is part of the logic board, we sell them in the part list to the right.
paulgozzard 12 years ago	my wife as just put charger in her kindle wrong way and damaged port can you just replace port and were do i get one from
Powerbook Medic 13 years ago	@mounir - most likely the motherboard.
mounir 13 years ago	i have a bad contact with my kindle and i can't charge it, the orange light can't hold for more than 10 sec, do you think that it need to change the motherboard or the midboard ???
Powerbook Medic 13 years ago	@Tony - what part do you mean?
Tony 13 years ago	Excellent video thanks. I currently dont have a radio serial number, do you know which part i would need to replace to obtain this?
Tom Mullen 13 years ago	Do you know which part failures would lead to a frozen screen. I have tried soft reset, hard reset and removing/replacing the battery to no avail. I'm trying to fix it for less than the cost of a new one.
Powerbook Medic 13 years ago	@Philip - sorry about that. It looks like the tech misspoke.
Philip H. Schneider 13 years ago	Very nice breakdown, but there are 12, not 11 screws in the logic board and you must use a phillip's-head screwdriver, not a flat-head. Thanks.
csaket 13 years ago	My kindle is frozen. Could not get it to hard reset. Removed battery and put it back, still no luck. What part could be bad that needs replacement?
Powerbook Medic 13 years ago	@antoine - all of the parts should be in the list to the right.
