Kindle Keyboard..can the back come off??
Hi all,

I received a Kindle Keyboard for xmas, and love love love it. I have taken it out this morning and the back has popped off on one corner. Might have happened when it fell off the couch last night?? I've tried to push it back on, but it won't go. Any suggestions? It's working fine, so maybe just not a big deal?

cheers

Kate

Correct. If you try pushing it back a few more times, it may click into place.

The back can be popped off to replace the battery, which has an unpredictable life expectancy of maybe 2-3 years.

Do a search on youtube - there are several videos of people taking them apart, and changing the battery - you can see how the back should snap on. Mine came almost completely off when pretty new, and I just snapped it back on.
