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.

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 have encircled it in the pic below

And here a pic of the component (if that helps)

Update: Everything seems to be working fine except touchscreen. Now I’m regretting opening this.

I have an Amazon Kindle Fire 7 Kids sr043kl that I’m trying to fix. The power on button does not appear to be working but the power can be turned on by plugging the device into a USB charger. Once on the device is fine but again the power button will not turn it off.

I’ve opened up the device and removed the motherboard. I can see the power button contacts and I can confirm that there is momentary continuity when the button is pressed (BLUE bit on pic). I have tried jumpering the power contact to a ground to try to emulate the action of the power button but it’s still not coming on, so my next plan is to try jumpering further up the track. Trouble is I can’t see where the track goes.

Does anyone know where the track ends up (I’ve pointed it out in RED below)?

Many thanks,

David

I recently bought a faulty 8th generation Kindle (SY69JL) to try and repair it.

It seems to be stuck on a book page, and does not respond when touched. The charging LED turns on when plugged with a charging cable. When I try to hold down the Power button to try and reboot it, the LED goes like this : green - blinking green - blinking orange - green... and the sequence repeats as long as I press the Power button.

Any ideas guys ?

Thanks in advance :)
