Hi:

I have been given a kindle 3 which display is broken. Looks like when a crystal breaks, but the damage is inside the display, the display itself (the surface you can touch) isnt broken apparently.

Also, when turning on, you can see text only in certain parts, not all the display.

Like this one:

My question is: Is there way to buy replacement parts (a new display)?

Amazon has already replace the device to the owner, and has told him to throw the broken one away. I wonder if it can be repaired.

I wont throw it away since I have myself other two K3 and it is ok to have another (broken) device for replacement parts.
