    • Hebele die Blende mit einem Spudger oder einem Plastiköffnungswerkzeug vorsichtig vom Bildschirm ab. Am einfachsten beginnst du in einer Ecke und lässt das Werkzeug um den Rand herum laufen.

    • Setze das Werkzeug nicht zu tief ein. Du könntest sonst den Bildschirm beschädigen.

    I found it easier to start this step off with one of the Opening Picks found in the iOpener pack.

    The glue on bezel started to peel the sticky back protective layer off the screen for me - managed to smooth it back down, although now have an unsightly crease. I would try to hold the screen down when you pull the bezel off to stop damaging the screen.

    Callum Rogers -

    This step is most time consuming. Take you time and try not to scratch the bezel :)

    Couldn't get the plastic spudger under the edge of the bezel. A right-angle X-Acto blade was a satisfactory tool here.

    The glue was VERY difficult...I used a trick, from taking apart phones, and used a hair drier to loosen up the glue...worked like a charm.

    • Entferne elf 3,0 mm Kreuzschlitzschrauben um den Mittelrahmen.

    • Oben am Bildschirm ist eine der Schrauben durch einen schwarzen Klebestreifen verdeckt.

    On 3G version you will not have the top middle screw.

    • Hebe den Mittelrahmen aus dem Gehäuse.

    • Wenn der Mittelrahmen festhängt, dann schiebe ihn erst nach links und hebe ihn dann hoch.

    There are clips in the bottom of the case helping hold the midframe in. Lift the top of the midframe up enough to clear the black back piece and then slide up and out.

    • Drehe den Mittelrahmen herum und du siehst den Akku.

    • Entferne drei 3,0 mm Kreuzschlitzschrauben, welche den Akku am Mittelrahmen befestigen.

    • Hebe den Akku zuerst vorsichtig unten hoch und schiebe ihn dann aus dem Mittelrahmen heraus.

    Thanks for providing this guide, I would have been lost without it. My old kindle, however, had very stiff and hard rubber/plastic. There was no way I could have slid the glass to the side or gotten the plastic spud under the edge of the glass or the plastic.

    What I did was to remove a piece of the plastic next to the glass , about 1/8” square, then insert a putty knife in between the two sides towards the edges. It all popped apart without breaking anything. Perhaps I could have done this without cutting out the little piece.

    Thank you for this very user friendly guide.My kindle is now working as new.The screws are small and fiddly and the correct tools are essential. I took roughly about 45 minutes from start to finish and the most difficult part was taking the casing apart without damaging the screen .. A 5 star service.

    Thanks for the useful and practical guide. Five stars.

    The bezel sits on a film meant to protect the screen. When lifting the bezel, it is a good idea to slightly push on the screen with cardboard or something elese, to make sure the screen film stays on the screen as you lift the bezel.

    • Das Gehäuse und der Akku sind jetzt vom Mittelrahmen entfernt. Beginne nun alle Kabel von der Hauptplatine zu lösen.

    • Lege den Mittelrahmen so, dass die Rückseite oben ist. Fange mit den Kabeln in der linken unteren Ecke an.

    • Hebe den weißen Kabelbefestiger mit einem Spudger hoch und schiebe das Flachbandkabel heraus.

    • Fahre gegen den Uhrzeigersinn fort und wiederhole für die nächsten Kabel. Die kleinen Kabel ganz haben haben keinen Kabelbefestiger, ziehe sie nur sorgfältig heraus.

    The second connector is not exactly a "repeat". The lock to be lifted is on the cable side, whereas the first connector's lock is away from the cable.

    Does anyone know the part number or for that matter where i can purchase the original LED assembly?

    Thanks

    • Entferne folgende sieben 3,0 mm Kreuzschlitzschrauben:

    • Drei silberfarbene Schrauben mit silberfarbenen Unterlegscheiben.

    • Zwei silberfarbene Schrauben ohne Unterlegscheiben.

    • Eine schwarze Schraube mit goldfarbener Unterlegscheibe.

    • Eine schwarze Schraube mit einer quadratischen Unterlegscheibe.

    • Entferne vorsichtig mit einem Spudger die Plastikschutzfolie über dem Display.

    • Diese Schutzfolie ist mit einer dicken Schicht Klebstoff befestigt. Sei geduldig und löse sie langsam ab, vermeide es dabei, sie zu biegen oder zu brechen.

    Does anyone know what kind of adhesive is used between the waveguide / dffuser layer, and the display layers under it? It’s definitely not a hard-cured epoxy, but almost a gel — probably silicone — and probably matched to the refractive index of the layers.

    Or, did anyone succeed in re-using the original stuff, and if so did you have air pockets or artifacts because of it?

    • Wenn die äußere Schutzfolie vom Kindle entfernt ist, kannst du die LED Beleuchtung vorsichtig mit den Fingern ablösen.

    Thanks for the guide but the problem is finding a replacement for the led lights. Have you found any seller?

Hello to you! Your guide helped me to understand what happened with my kindle. I've got a scratch on the screen but it seems not very deep; the scratch is on a plastic screen, mentioned on the 12-th step. Is it possible to replace this screen with the same one or simple screen protector can do? Thank you.

Alexander -

Can the LEDs simply be removed using this method? I think they are giving me a headache, even on the lowest setting...

Jessica -

Best way is to jailbreak the kindle and use KO reader. In that you can switch off the lights completely. This is a software hack but then you do not need to open the paperweight at all

ziphyr zz -

Is it possible to replace the LEDs with warm white or even yellow (no blue light at all)?

Rob Noble -

i'd also like to replace the LEDs with a warmer light -- but I wonder foremost: can I really detach and reattach the plastic (as it is glued onto the display?) without destroying the SMOOTH and EVEN lighting when I reattach it?

dominik -

I removed the plastic screen easily enough but the glue that held it to the display leaves quite a mess on both sides and loses it's tack once removed. I suppose I could clean both sides (with IPA?) and remove the old glue but what's best to reattach the plastic to the screen that will give a nice clear finish?

I actually bought a new screen without the LEDs (all that was available) and it doesn't even have the plastic cover on it yet.

andy -

I was wondering, if it is possible to connect the two LED lights to the same power driver?Recently I noticed that my led bulb turns on/off for a split second randomly over the past few days. Does this mean it is starting to die or could it be something..please visit our website: http://lighthut.co.uk

Light Hut -

Can someone please confirm that this process is reversible without totally destroying the screen i.e. when you put it back you won't see glue smudges everywhere?

Virgil Ierubino -

Are you kidding me? You lost me at #3. Does anyone know where I can get this done by a professional?

Hallo,

nach Austausch des Akkus funktioniert das Kindle PW bis auf die Beleuchtung normal.

Wie erkennt man, ob die Beleuchtung defekt ist.

Wo kann man die LED Beleuchtung fürKindle PW erwerben?

Bernd Burchartz -

Whats the part number for the plastic screen panel itself, my e-ink display is perfectly fine but the plastic is cracked (light leak into crack when lighting is on). I am guessing this is a standard plastic panel with stepped edge to give an interface for light transmission, is it theoretically possible to use a plastic panel with an oversize acetate sheet (or some other clear plastic film) attached to the front to allow landing for the LED to be attached.

Where do I buy the LED replacement?
