My Kindle 3 is frozen on sleep screen. I tried many "time combinations" to restart my Kindle. But it did not work. Then thin stripes are appeared on the screen - see picture 1.

I thought that the screen is broken. So I disassembled Kindle and the screen seems to be OK - see picture 2.

I measured voltage of battery. Battery has 4.1 V. When I plug Kindle to PC, I can see the storage, I can move or delete files and so on. Firmware of Kindle is 3.3_B008 and I updated the firmware 8 years ago.

Please do you have any advices/ideas what to do with my Kindle? Should I replace the screen? Or...?

Thank you in advance for your opinions.
