Amazon Fire 9th Generation: LCD touchscreen not working

Tue, 09 Jul 2024 04:28:28 -0700

I recently replaced my Amazon M2V3R5 Kindle Fire HD 10 2019 9th Generation LCD touchscreen that was shattered. I was careful removing and installing the new touchscreen. I’ve replaced the black Antenna coax wire due to I accidentally broke off the end connector and replaced the battery due to it was sitting uncharged for a while. I double checked all my connections and before I reinstalled the back cover, wanted to make sure it turns on and works. But all that happens is the screen lights up and it makes the turn on sound but no actual display on the screen. I’ve even did the 40 second hold down hard reset and nothing- still the same situation. If anyone has any experience with working on these devices. I’m asking for help and suggestions on what I can check. My next step was going to try replacing the MB/LCM flex cable which no one seems to have in stock right now. I’m hoping to get an answer from someone who’s pretty handy and knowledgeable about these devices on what I can check. I know these devices don’t cost much but before it broke I have important documents and photos I’m trying to retrieve off the device. Any help would be appreciated.

Amazon Fire HD 7 (7th Gen): Controller board for LCD screen?

Thu, 02 May 2024 04:21:41 -0700

Hi all,

I'm trying to figure out what kind of controller board would be compatible for this screen as I'm trying to convert it into a second mini monitor. Completely new to this kind of thing so any tips and advice would be welcomed.

I've already tried googling the model name + controller board on ebay and ali express but now joy - though it might be that i got the model wrong though.

Thanks!

Amazon Fire 5th Generation: Device not charging after replacing charging port

Amazon Fire 9th Generation: Factory reset will not perform.

Fri, 20 Nov 2020 13:46:54 -0700

Unit has a full charge. Normal power on results in Amazon logo then fire screen with 3 dots which light up in succession and does not progress beyond that screen. Holding power and volume down button results in Android Recovery screen. Amazon/mustang/mustang 7.0/PS7315/1961N

When I scroll down and choose wipe data/factory reset the result is a series of errors. The first error is E:Failed to mount /cache; formatting: I/O error followed by other similar errors. I tried choosing wipe cache partition and got similar results. I’ve tried this plugged in to an amazon kindle rapid charger with the original cord, unplugged, and plugged in to a computer; all have the same result. The computer acknowledges that a device is plugged in with a tone but can’t communicate with it enough for a screen to pop up or for it to show up as a storage device.

Amazon Fire 5th Generation: Why Does My Tablet Keep Forgetting My Wifi By Itself?

Thu, 16 Jul 2020 15:47:37 -0700

Amazon Fire 5th Generation: How can I reboot my locked fire without my keyboarded?

Sat, 11 Jan 2020 01:47:41 -0700

I’ve owned this Amazon, Fire Kindle for around 8 years, Then one day I accidentally dropped it, and my keyboard would pop up for email, but I could only type a few words then I coudnt’t type anything, The same thing applied to any games that didn't give me a keyboard, I eventually figured out my spacebar was breaking the keyboard, I didn't care bc I could still log in just fine. It worked perfectly fine last night, now its keyboard barley pops up, and when it does I can’t type anything, I have no idea how this happened…. I tried restarting it, but even after 20 restarts the darn thing still won’t work. It allows me to have my keyboard to switch accounts though, I wanna reboot the entire thing if it will fix my keyboard but without my password, the suggestions on this site are pretty useless… perhaps it's because of the age of the fire, but another issue is my charger peace inside the Fire is loose, and falls out and has to be placed perfectly or it won’t charge… I also tried shaking my tablet, I think I hear something loose in it, Plz help me this tablet my only device I can play my very fav game on, and I don’t think my parents will get me another tablet any time soon, plz tell me how to reboot the entire device, everything else seems hopeless at this point.

Amazon Fire 5th Generation: Theatrical version movie has every detail being described

Fri, 30 Nov 2018 11:06:38 -0700

My friend had purchased Finding Dory the theatrical version on my Amazon account for my son. It works fine on my firestick, but on his tablet it has this lady describing everything even down to a lamp jumping on the letter I for Pixar in the beginning. Everywhere I look says voice reader is turned on, but his tablet only has voiceview screen reader under accessibility as an option and it's off so I have no idea what's going on. Is it because it's the theatrical version? The other shows she bought him don't do it and like I said it works fine on the TV even though it's the theatrical version. Thanks so much!
