Hello All,

My kindle keyboard's screen cracked and was still under warranty, so amazon sent me a new one. They said I didn't have to return the defective one and that I should take it to my local electronic store to have it disposed of properly.

Instead, I decided to buy a replacement screen to see if I could resurrect it. It worked. The new screen works fine. However, it seems that the kindle is banned or blacklisted. I can't register it. I can't get updates. I can't create collections. I can't even change the time.

Is this kindle worthless or can I get around this blacklisted status.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Bugs.
