I have replaced the screens on two Kindle 3's. Mine and my daughters. I wish I had researched this before replacing and buying my first screen. After examining the screens I have determined the screen I bought for my Kindle has no Eprom chip. My daughters does. Both Kindles are wifi. I threw the old screen for my Kindle away. When my daughters screen broke I kept her old one to give to her. I have used her old screen to hot swop both Kindles. It's worked on both. Graphics display fine on both after how swopping. Trouble is my Kindle will remain stable for only a few days and will then reboot. Text always displays fine on both. I almost bought a used Kindle screen but for a few more dollars I could get new. Like I said, wish I had researched this earlier.
