The symptoms are that of a worn out battery. Soon it won't start. If it's 3.4.x FW or later it will display publisher font and azw3/kf8.
at that price, go for it.

that's much cheaper and simpler that the equivalent job on an amazon fire tablet

and if the "new " battery is crap, swap the old one back in and claim a paypal refund
