If the power button on your Amazon Kindle 8 is unresponsive or broken, use this guide to replace it.
The power button is important for turning the Kindle on and off and entering sleep mode. A faulty power button will prevent normal operation or cause the Kindle to remain on, which will drain its battery.
Before beginning, make sure the issue is with the power button and not a software issue by performing a restart and checking for software updates.
Be careful when handling internal components to avoid damaging surrounding parts.
