The LED light on the Kindle 10 is a sturdy and efficient piece of technology connected to the motherboard that indicates different statuses: a blinking orange for charging and continuously lit when charged. It is not expected to need replacement for its filament should last over 100 years. There may be issues with the light if the Kindle is functional but the light does not react to actions such as charging or powering off. If its soldering points become disconnected or the filament does burn out, we can replace this light.
