Replacing screen on Kindle3 changes the serial

I got my Kindle3 replaced twice by Amazon as they broke, and I realized it was indeed only the screen that broke.

I could get my hand on new Kindle3 screens and have been able to replace them easily.

The thing is, when you turn a Kindle on after the replacement, the serial change.
Im not too sure if this happens when you power it down when removing the battery or if the device has a smart system that can recognize that the screen is not the same.
I suspect it's just the battery.

Anyway, my problem is the new serial is not registrable anymore.

Has anyone been able to hack the serial generation?
Is this happening also when changing other part of the Kindle?

Any experience sharing appreciated.

PS: If you need some spare parts, they're all coming from China and available online: alibaba.com
