Kindle Keyboard has different screen

montalex · 07-19-2019, 07:19 PM

I have several Kindle Keyboard which I was given broken over the years. I've never had trouble replacing screens until now. I have one that will not take any of the standard screens I've installed. The standard screen is fine for text, not for images. This Kindle has a different serial number than my others:
B006 D0B1 1343 0CQ3. I do remember reading somewhere that there were actually 2 screens made for 2 different Kindle Keyboards.

I can only find screen ED060SC7(LF) C1, which won't work in this Kindle. Does anyone know any resources for there? PowebookMedic no longer has any, and Ebay only seems to have the one model.

I have ordered another motherboard to at least make use of the screens I have!

Waveform compatibility shenanigans, AFAIK (which is not much).

We have a thread (or two) here on the subject of getting the matching waveform to load.

Unfortunately, without the proper screen, I don't have the proper waveform to copy. I'd like to find the proper screen, but, at this point, I think I'm just going to replace the motherboard. It's all too complex for a bit of reading, but I use the open browser on these antiques!
