Kindle Fire: Micro USB Poot get little or no connection

Thu, 01 Jun 2017 02:59:46 -0700

Lately the charger port for my device has been getting worse. From my research i have found the method of re-soldering the micro USB port fixes this, but i have never done this. All i want to do is be able to charge the battery. Would it be possible to hard wire a positive and negative wire directly to the battery leads and connect those to a make shift plug that i can attach to a 5.0 volt 2.2 amp power supply? would this method be suitable for charging this LiIon battery? i have no need to transfer data through the USB Cord at this point. I know its not aesthetically appealing, but that's what i want to do. i just nee to know if it will work. will it interfere with the battery stats of the device? will it reset the battery percentage if i charge this way? will it back feed power in such a way that will damage things in the device?

Kindle Fire HD10 (7th Generation): Battery Connector broke off - anyway to repair

Wed, 12 Mar 2025 22:33:50 -0700

When disconnecting the battery from my Kindle, instead of just the cable coming off, the piece it connected to came off also. That piece was recycled with the old battery. I now have the correct replacement battery, but nothing to connect it into or onto the board of the Kindle. Is this piece replaceable/repairable? And if so, how?

Attached photos: On the battery cable and board photo, I tried to number the 2 important parts [I think: 1. shows where the 'connecter was once attached to the board. 2. is the battery piece that connects the connecter in the second photo 'unattached battery connector'. I don't know how the connector would be attached or reattached to the board or if it is replaceable.

Thanks.

Kindle Scribe: How can I get battery replacement and replace it?

Thu, 24 Oct 2024 03:17:58 -0700

My Scribe is 1 year old and I abuse it pretty much daily. I read on it for about 8-10 hours a day and take notes on it too during the class, which is about 90 minutes per class (I have 8 classes). The heavy note taking is not my concern, it's the reading. I usually charge mine from 40%-80/85% like everyone suggested, but lately I see a difference in the battery's capacity and I have been charging it more often than usual. I know it's a pretty new device, but how can I get a new battery and replace it myself? The device seems to be fragile too, unlike paperwhite

Kindle 7th Generation: How can I repair my kindle's screen?

Wed, 25 Sep 2024 07:06:22 -0700

Hello.

so I have an 8th generation Kindle (iFixit only let’s me mark the publication as 7th generation), and the screen stopped working one day in which I bended it a little bit accidentally. The device still works, it’s only the screen what doesn’t display content properly. I adjunt a video showing the problem, please watch it to understand: https://youtu.be/4z5dJMqSwvo

My question is how can I repair it? Maybe changing the screen will be enough?

I want to repair it. I hate throwing away stuff and this waste culture we have.

I have already tried resetting it. The model number is SY69JL.

Kindle 7th Generation: How can I fix my kindle Paperwhite screen separation?

Tue, 16 Jul 2024 22:56:13 -0700

I went into replace the battery and unfortunately the screen separated from the glass. (Bottom right corner) It's not cracked or broken but acts more like a protective film you'd put on your phone. When I try to push that area out like you would remove air bubbles, these lines go away for a second. So I'm assuming there was some sort of adhesive keeping the glass and plastic film together. Do I have to replace the entire glass or is there some way to salvage this?

I replaced the battery on my Kindle HD 8.9. After closing it up, it won't turn on. I placed it on a charger and nothing seems to be happening. Is the new battery usually completely dead, or is something not back in place properly?

Amazon Fire 5th Generation: Amazon logo bootloop. (Possibly because of corrupt recovery?)

Fri, 03 May 2024 05:26:08 -0700

I’ve had this tablet for about 4 years now. I bricked it about 3 years ago but I don’t remember what bricked it. I tried to fix it several times but I never had success. I don’t have a lot of experience with android devices (I’m an Apple guy). My guess is that I was installing a custom recovery but it was for the wrong model. When I tried to boot it up for the first time in about a year there was nothing on the display. I reconnected the display cable and it showed the battery charging symbol when I plugged it in. Then it started to bootloop on the silver amazon logo (not the fire logo) as I remembered. It refuses to enter recovery which leads me to believe that I’m correct about the recovery being corrupt. As far as I know there is no other way to connect it to a computer. Apple devices have DFU mode which can always be entered even if there is no NAND flash chip at all. Is there any DFU equivalent for this device so I can try to flash the stock recovery? Its not a big deal, I bought this tablet for $50 4 years ago and its only worth about $25 now. It just annoys me that it’s been bricked for 3 years. Thanks!

Is there any way to fix a button that has physically broken in half? It is the main toggle button between the menu and back button on the Kindle DX. If it cannot be fixed, is there a new model that would be recommended that is similar. I have very poor eyesight and this model has been very good for me because I can make the font very large and it is not backlit.

Kindle Fire: Why would my Kindle WIFI detection quit after working for months

Thu, 09 Nov 2023 16:19:00 -0700

My Kindle fire's WIFI detection stopped working after months of working OK. I have not changed my home router or settings since installation. My wife also has same model Kindle Fire and it continues to work fine. I have tried resetting to factory defaults numerous times with no success. I have even placed the kindle alongside the wireless router with no success. I have more than enough unused wireless openings to accommidate this and other devices.
