I followed this guide, without changes, and was able to successfully swap a battery on a Kindle DX. The DX is essentially a Kindle 2 with a larger screen.
Thanks, easy and went well!
Maybe you need a thinner spudger, TH?
Easy! Worked well with the tools described. Kudos for making this available, it gave my old Kindle a new breath of life!
Easiest replacement I've done. Thanks!
An ebay-acquired battery fit perfectly, but failed to reboot the kindle or accept a charge.
the battery looks idential to the Kindale battery to an old analog voltmeter.
I conformed that the kindle terminals were receiving battery voltage.
The replacement guide was just fine, Back to the original battery, which is well past its best-by date!
