Amazon Fire 7th Generation: How do I repair a cracked screen?

Thu, 15 Jun 2023 08:36:21 -0700

I have had my device for about 3 years now. About 2 months ago I dropped it and cracked the screen (for the first time surprisingly). It's been fine until now, where it is stuck tapping in one spot and won't let me tap anywhere else. I have nothing to recover my data with, so I want to fix it. Does anybody know how or where to bring it to fix it?

Amazon Fire 7th Generation: Tablet charges but shuts off after being unplugged?

Tue, 18 Oct 2022 01:57:52 -0700

I got this tablet a while ago, set it up, and used it for about a week. Then shut it off and never used it for a few years tbh. Its in perfect condition, so I connected it to a charger and let it charge. Immediately after unplugging it, the screen went black and wouldn't come on. I plugged it in, and it eventually came back on with 0% battery. I've used the tablet less than an hour total, and it's been stored in good conditions without moisture, excessive temps, etc. Why would it do this?

I went through the reset process and the startup screens came on, but when the next screen came up, the screen faded. You can see that the items are there on the screen but they are too faint to read

Amazon Fire HD 8: (SX034QT) How the heck does the motherboard come out of this thing?

Sat, 04 May 2019 10:06:36 -0700

Got the digitizer off and the back off. I need to remove the mobo for cleaning. I found and removed four screws and the camera but I cannot get the motherboard out. It feels like there’s another screw or perhaps some adhesive but I’m already putting more pressure on the mobo than I’m comfortable with and it’s not budging at all. The top-right side (as seen in the pic below) lifts up off the frame about a centimeter, but the top-left side lifts barely a millimeter. What’s the secret?

The guide seems to be sufficient for replacing the screen. But where do I get one? I asked the amazon.de support already, but it seems Amazon itself doesn't provide any replacement pieces for the Amazon Fire HD8.

Kindle Fire: Kindle Fire battery maker?

Tue, 01 Aug 2017 15:43:37 -0700

Hi,

Thanks for the teardown article that was really helpful. Just out of curiosity, do you guys know who made the battery? Possibly Samsung SDI or LG Chem?

Thanks!

Thanks for the answer. I just realized that the tear-down photo actually had a company name on the battery right in front of the product number - ATL (Amperex Technology Limited). I wonder if they used their own cell or only did the packaging.
