Amazon Fire 5th Generation: Screen is white after digitizer replacement

Sun, 07 Jun 2020 07:32:30 -0700

I replaced digitizer on this device. The screen is completely white, but if I tilt the device I can see a picture. The touch function works. Is there something that I'm missing with this repair? I double-checked all connections. The problem seems to be that there is too much backlight. Thanks for your time.

Amazon Fire 5th Generation: Where do I get a new battery?

Mon, 24 Dec 2018 17:22:26 -0700

I have a Kindle Fire 7 (SV98LN) fifth generation, opened it up and found that it has a battery with model MC-308594. I'm having the issue where it shuts off when between 74% and 94% of power. I want to get a replacement but only found two on EBay, and none on Amazon. I can find batteries for almost any other device. So where do I get a replacement battery? Or is it that Amazon would rather I just buy a new Kindle?

I replaced the cracked screen on a kindle fire. Now when it powers on the picture is washed out and light. The screen color is iridescent and almost like a rainbow. Changing the brightness on the device doesn't help.

Amazon Fire 7th Generation: How do I repair a cracked screen?

Thu, 15 Jun 2023 08:36:21 -0700

I have had my device for about 3 years now. About 2 months ago I dropped it and cracked the screen (for the first time surprisingly). It's been fine until now, where it is stuck tapping in one spot and won't let me tap anywhere else. I have nothing to recover my data with, so I want to fix it. Does anybody know how or where to bring it to fix it?

Amazon Fire 7th Generation: Tablet charges but shuts off after being unplugged?

Tue, 18 Oct 2022 01:57:52 -0700

I got this tablet a while ago, set it up, and used it for about a week. Then shut it off and never used it for a few years tbh. Its in perfect condition, so I connected it to a charger and let it charge. Immediately after unplugging it, the screen went black and wouldn't come on. I plugged it in, and it eventually came back on with 0% battery. I've used the tablet less than an hour total, and it's been stored in good conditions without moisture, excessive temps, etc. Why would it do this?

Amazon Fire 5th Generation: Amazon logo bootloop. (Possibly because of corrupt recovery?)

Fri, 03 May 2024 05:26:08 -0700

I’ve had this tablet for about 4 years now. I bricked it about 3 years ago but I don’t remember what bricked it. I tried to fix it several times but I never had success. I don’t have a lot of experience with android devices (I’m an Apple guy). My guess is that I was installing a custom recovery but it was for the wrong model. When I tried to boot it up for the first time in about a year there was nothing on the display. I reconnected the display cable and it showed the battery charging symbol when I plugged it in. Then it started to bootloop on the silver amazon logo (not the fire logo) as I remembered. It refuses to enter recovery which leads me to believe that I’m correct about the recovery being corrupt. As far as I know there is no other way to connect it to a computer. Apple devices have DFU mode which can always be entered even if there is no NAND flash chip at all. Is there any DFU equivalent for this device so I can try to flash the stock recovery? Its not a big deal, I bought this tablet for $50 4 years ago and its only worth about $25 now. It just annoys me that it’s been bricked for 3 years. Thanks!
