Kindle 3 WiFi + 3G - just suddenly stopped working. No reaction on slide button, no USB connection - nothing. Only orange light for about 30secs. Battery was at 90% at that time. Opened and measured some voltages. 1.8V line was dead shorted to GND. The wifi chip was warmer of all suspects (finger detected
), so it was de-soldered. Measured the 1.8V pads for short and indeed there was a short to GND inside the chip itself. It is unobtainable, so I bought а broken K3 pcb for cheap as a donor for Atheros AR 6102G wifi chip, hoping that it's alive.
The replaced wifi chip:
Now 1.8V is OK and reader starts to boot, but then stops on about 30%. Connected via USB to serial (1.8V) using PuTTY. Booting process always stopped at the message for some problem with AR6 and saying that something was wrong with the MAC address (forgot to copy exactly, sorry). I decided to use Kubrick to see what will happen... It took about 3 hours, everything went smoothly, but still no luck. Only now booting process looks kind of different and I don't know what to do next... Any ideas?
Here is how the booting process looks now:
