My screen is cracked on my Kindle Fire 7" HDX and I'd like to replace it, but i'm having trouble even getting the case open. There also don't seem to be any guides on how to do this with an HDX.

Kindle Fire HDX 8.9": Will not turn on - battery or charging circuit?

Sun, 07 Jun 2020 08:39:44 -0700

Kindle Fire HDX 8.9" - battery indicator showed power was low, waited too long to plug in the charger, now it will not power up. Tried different chargers, overnight charging, and cables, even a PC overnight. Tried holding power button to reset as well as power and volume up. USB / charging port seems snug.

My questions:

If the battery was dead, would it turn on with the charger attached?
Is there any type of circuit between the USB port and the battery that would require power from the battery in order to operate (to charge the battery)?
Can I get access to the battery connections to manually put a small charge on the battery? (yes, I am willing to kludge together two 'C' cells and hook it to the internal battery to jump start the charging circuit if it exists.)
Are the batteries the same for the HD and HDX?
What did I not ask?

Thank you for the teardown information!

Kindle Fire HDX 8.9": Why is my battery not charging.

Fri, 19 Jun 2020 05:49:16 -0700

My hdx 8.9 will not charge.

initially it would not charge when hooked to the cable. Even after changing the cable and light jiggling of said cable. Eventually I got it to charge to 6% before it just stopped charging again. I turned on the device got tech via mayday. But then I could not turn the device off. When the batterywent out I tried charging it again with no result. BUT now on can't tell if it's not charging or the darned power button won't work.

Kindle Fire HDX 8.9": Kindle fire HDX screen jumps around by itself.

Sat, 29 Oct 2022 07:52:03 -0700

My 3rd generation Kindle with cellular started “jumping” from screen to screen all by itself ( from home pg to settings, runs though all the options in settings, then to guide, then to….)

I have reset, and factory reset a number of times. The techs in India were no help; they just had me do everything I have already tried. The last attempt with them, one of them said the device was “not fulfilled” and that was the problem. After asking him 3 times what “not fulfilled” meant and not getting an answer; I stopped that waste of time. I keep getting told it’s a software problem but I have updated and reset numerous times. I think it’s a hardware issue. Any ideas?

Kindle Fire HDX 8.9": Restarting continously over and over to Logo

Tue, 11 Feb 2020 02:58:34 -0700

I downloaded a new app and my HDX turned itself off and started a cycle of restarting that will not stop. Did a number of factory resets, no change. It restarts only to the colored logo and shuts off and restarts over and over. Amazon said that it needs to be replaced. Can it be repaired?

Also I have left it on the charger overnight before the last factory reset and it makes no difference.

Kindle Fire HDX 7": How to get files off of a kindle fire HDX?

Wed, 14 Jun 2023 03:57:23 -0700

I have a 3rd generation 7" Kindle Fire HDX, the screen is broken and completely unresponsive to any input, and the micro USB port doesn't work unless the cord that's plugged in is angled a specific way. A combination of both these things have stopped me from being able to get some very sentimental files off of the device. I've read the relevant repair guides, but I'm very inexperienced with this sort of thing and I'm afraid of doing something wrong and potentially damaging the device further. Is there an alternate way for me to get what I want?

Kindle Fire HDX 7": How to fuse Kindle Fire HdX 7 digitizer and LCD?

Fri, 22 Jan 2016 08:19:25 -0700

If you are stupid (like me) and buy just a digitizer & not the complete LCD/Digitizer assembly, how would you go about gluing the two together. Or would you need to? I'm not sure if I should just try to resell the digitizer screen and buy a complete assembly & what are the chances of being able to reuse the LCD if I can separate it from the broken digitizer? I didn't see that they were fused together until after my purchase. :( Thanks for any help!
