The serial number is NOT stored in the screen. It is in the idme vars stored in the mmc.

Getting your Kindle 3 replaced by Amazon WILL change the serial number, however.

What made you think that it changed while replacing the screen?

Did you also replace the motherboard?

Could you be confusing it with a serial number from one of the kindles that you had replaced by Amazon?
