Lol, yeah. I spent 15 minutes with a hair dryer blowing full black on the back of the Kindle just to soften the glue enough to be able to lift the case enough to slide a knife in so i could cut through it to get the case off.

Then I find they've glue the battery in place the other side as well!

Still, at least I tried. I hate chucking stuff away if there's a chance of fixing relatively cheaply.

Bizarrely, i tried turning it on again this morning and it's showing the battery empty screen again. Can't think i bought a faulty replacement battery though.
