Hi Can I use these same basic procedures to replace my Kindle DX Screen?

[PowerbookMedic]

@Chatzkies - Similar but not identical.

Why doesn't yours have a memory card?

thanks! for this vid! hope it works for my kindle

if you can, can you just get a new screen and if so where can you get one

[PowerbookMedic]

@ad54am - We sell them on our website. They are in extremely short supply unfortunately and are difficult to get a hold of.

Thorough, informative, correct (except for the already mentioned LCD/E-Ink mistake). Thanks, I'll refer to this video as soon as I need to.

Thanks man, just successfully fix my Kindle. But my screen and speaker are not easy to take them out like yours. Take me 15min to very carefully remove them

lol! Whats funny is that my kindle was frozen on the same screensaver as yours.

This is not LCD. It has nothing to do with liquid crystals.

[PowerbookMedic]

@shreaderro - You are correct. Our tech in this video has repaired one too many laptops :)

It's good to know how to teardown display.

Does anyone know where to buy the lcds from cant find anywhere.

[PowerbookMedic]

@clickrepairs - We sell them. We get small quantities and sell out very quickly, but we do sell them.

@PowerbookMedic Hi, I just checked your website and couldn't find the link to the Amazon parts, it was however completely overtaken by links to Mac parts which is understandable. Can you please post here if you have any currently in stock or if you have a link to an online reseller?

Thanks

[PowerbookMedic]

@Kobe29261 - Go to the parts by Model tab and then the Amazon Kindle Parts section.

Nice, but I wouldn't use a screwdriver to open the lock bars and pull the flat cables out. If it slips and lands on the board you'd ruin it. Those lock bars open nicely with a finger.

Had to laugh. I suppose being a Mac user means that *all* circuit boards are referred to as "logic boards". I can see the logic, pardon the intended pun, but if a *circuit* board (not necessarily this one) doesn't contain any digital ICs, then there is no reason to refer to it as a "logic board", as that is patently *illogical*.

Puns over. :-) Thank you for the video!

[PowerbookMedic]

@unlokia - Quite true. That is from over 10 years working on Macs. Thanks for the correction.

[paperelite]

very nicely done.
