A portable e-book reader developed by Amazon. Repair is straightforward and requires only prying tools and screwdrivers.

Did you find any solution to this?

I have exactly the same problem. I assembled a paperwhite 2nd-gen screen with a paperwhite 1st-gen motherboard and get exactly the same error.

EDIT (typing mistake): it was a 2nd-gen motherboard and a 1st-gen screen

Oh sorry... I mistyped something. What I meant was i assembled a "paperwhite 1st-gen screen and a paperwhite 2nd-gen motherboard"

It's not good. Last week I bought this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/311350255136 (2nd gen screen to my 2nd gen motherboard) and I'm waiting to receive it. I hope not to get the same message because I don't know how to deal with it.

The message is "Battery invalid:-22.", correct? Did you try to disassemble and connect the battery again? Or a hard reset?

crwdns2934271:0crwdnd2934271:0crwdne2934271:0

That's correct! Yes, I tried both. My current approach is to try it via serial connection. Maybe it's just a software-issue that could be fixed that way. Has your screen arrived yet?

I came across a russian site http://kindle.zzweb.ru/paperwhite/repair.... Basicly it sates this:

  1. Connect the Kindle Paperwhite to a computer USB-cable.
  2. Create an empty file in the root directory DO_FACTORY_RESTORE.
  3. Safely disconnect the reader from your computer.
  4. Reboot your device by holding the power button.

I did this and my kindle paperwhite did a factory reset and I was able to use it again. I had previously tried to format the drive and place a firmware update on the drive so I do not know if this will remove your books. Please try and back up your books if you can before you do this.

Hope this helps others.
