I got a factory refurb for $45 CDN on eBay and it has the newer screen technology my wife's has. I went this way because parts were nearly as expensive. I do however have complete spares now except for the LCD.

Hi Freddie, welcome to MR.
The thread you replied to is over four years old, so it would seem not too many people are having issues wth KK lighted cases any more. ;-)
FWIW, mine still works fine, and while I do have a Paperwhite, in many cases I still prefer the KK.
I don't recall Amazon ever refreshing the display in the KK with an updated version. Maybe I missed the news.
Note, there is no LCD in the KK, just an E-ink display module.
Be sure to join in on some of the more recent, active threads!
