Kindle Scribe: Is it possible to fix the screen of my kindle scribe?

Tue, 13 Aug 2024 11:01:50 -0700

I need to know how much does it cost to repair a screen as partial of it seems to be scratched out from the inside. A chunk of the mess up blocks 25% of the screen. Is it even possible to repair it.

Kindle Scribe: How can I get battery replacement and replace it?

Thu, 24 Oct 2024 03:17:58 -0700

My Scribe is 1 year old and I abuse it pretty much daily. I read on it for about 8-10 hours a day and take notes on it too during the class, which is about 90 minutes per class (I have 8 classes). The heavy note taking is not my concern, it's the reading. I usually charge mine from 40%-80/85% like everyone suggested, but lately I see a difference in the battery's capacity and I have been charging it more often than usual. I know it's a pretty new device, but how can I get a new battery and replace it myself? The device seems to be fragile too, unlike paperwhite

Kindle Scribe: Wifi and Bluetooth not working

Thu, 23 Jan 2025 00:50:17 -0700

I had to reset my Kindle Scribe. It took a few attempts before my home's wireless networks appeared. I tried to reregister the device but it was so slow connecting it timed out at the very last stage, verification. After that no wifi network would show at all. I tried setting it up through my phone but the few times that worked the BT connection dropped out after a few seconds. The last dozen reboots neither wifi nor BT seem to be working. I suspect there is something wrong with the internal aerial. Any suggestions?

Kindle Scribe: Why is my pen not writing?

Tue, 13 Jan 2026 19:42:44 -0700

My pen quit writing, I spent $80 on a new one and it still won't write. I've done all of the troubleshooting that is suggested including hard reset and factory reset. When contacting Amazon customer service all they had to say was that it wasn't under warranty anymore

Kindle Scribe: Is there another fix for this pen

Thu, 21 Dec 2023 10:29:08 -0700

Through experimentation, my new Kindle Scribe Pen was made usable by putting an aluminum foil shield that is 1 cm x 12 cm, over the side of the pen that has the groove and magnets, with tape. I had to tune it first, by sliding it up and down, moving it closer or further away from the base of the cone tip, for this to work. Otherwise, the pen seems to be "too strong" and writes 1 1/2 cm away from the surface and leaves trail marks. It's now working fine, but no longer has the sleek manufactured look. Online, this looks to be a frequent problem. Any other suggestions?
