Introduction
Go to step 1 ↓The power button on the Kindle Paperwhite 12th Gen is the only button on the device, located to the left of the charging port at the bottom of the device. It is held in with simple rubber placeholders, and can easily be replaced.
This replacement may be necessary if the button is damaged, overly sensitive, or unresponsive, making it difficult to properly use your Kindle.
Before you begin the repair, make sure to power off your Kindle and unplug the charger and any connected accessories.
