If anybody can help me or guide me to do it right, I can attempt it myself. I have time to do the job right to fit anybody's schedule if anybody is willing to help me.

I really would appreciate anybody who is willing to help me.
You don't have to solder the pins. Look at this post and this one for example.

I found that the most difficult part was to crack the Kindle open. After that, once you manage to hold the pins in place with foam and tape, it's just a matter of following instructions.
