Kindle Fire HD 8: Broken Battery Connector on Mobo

Sat, 06 Dec 2025 16:50:35 -0700

I recently purchased a replacement battery for my Kindle but during the installation process, I inadvertently broke the plastic foundation piece (female) on the motherboard. Is there any way to either replace this part, repair it (even a temporary workaround so I just turn on device and access the data) or access the data if I can't get it to turn on. Is there a way to turn on the device or access the folders without the battery? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!! I'm desperate at this point.

I really need to get inside this tablet to fix a stuck power button. It is an all aluminum case, like so many other laptops and tablets, but I can't find any good tips on getting this think opened. Really could use some tips to get started and I will share experience.

Kindle Fire HD 10 (11th Generation): Fire HD 10 tablet screen blacks in and out & loosing touch tracking

Tue, 12 Aug 2025 04:05:54 -0700

I've had my Amazon Fire HD 10 plus (11th Gen) Tablet for a while, i don't quite remember when i bought it, and alongside that got a keyboard case, i was going to use this for fun, watching movies, playing the occasional game, and more.

the events are described to the best of my ability, forgive the steady march of time and its effect of warping memories.

I'm now well outside the return window, i had sent my initial tablet back after experiencing this, they got my old one and sent me a refurbished one, and it experienced the same issues.. again.

to give a description of the issue in more detail: the tablet when in use, (unsure of what triggers this) the screen goes black, and immediately the color and brightness fades back in, the touch screen digitizer seems to also blank out of detecting and assumes my finger is still holding the direction it was in, ( used Minecraft as a example, see attached video), the tablet is on a wooden flat surface, with even footing, and securely in place, and is plugged in via a usbc charger.

against my better judgment, i kept it because i didn't want to go thru the process of another return, this seems to be a unique issue that hasn't been discussed anywhere assumed by me, upon considerable effort on my part researching this before asking my question.

the video in question was shortened for the sake of size, as well as time.
