Hi folks:

I recently did a Frankenstien swap from one K3 to another as my Kindle wasn't responding to the buttons. It worked! But what I thought was another K3-3G was a Kindle 3 Wifi Only.

So I've got the old board from the K3-3G with the wireless card and SIM card and I'm wondering if I can take it to a shop get them to detach the sim card and wireless card receiver and attach it to my K3-Wifi board. Things to note are:

1) Wireless always worked on the K3-3G
2) The hardware board on the K3-3G was REVISION A, the K3-Wifi board is revision C.
3) The K3-3G is still registered to my Kindle account.

Many thanks in advance!
