Paperwhite 2 screen replacement

svhs · 12-08-2016, 05:13 AM

Hi!

I broke my kindle (PW2) screen completely, when I connect to pc it still does recognize the reader as it should, and I can restart it, also I can put it to sleep or wake it up, so other functions seems to be ok. I wanted to replace the screen by ordering a replacement screen from somewhere, but there doesn't seem to be ANY for the PW2, I'm confused.

I can find screen for the PW1 and the PW3 easily but I can't find any for the PW2, why is that?

Is there any screen that is compatible with the PW2 screen? PW1/PW3?

I feel like I'm missing something here.

You can get a refurbished current model PW if you'd prefer.

The screens are not transferable between models as each version had a different screen resolution. I've tried, doesn't work. They will fit, but they won't work.

Yes, thank you, I don't know how I couldn't find it on their website, either the search function is not as good, I'm just bad at using it or they put it out after I contacted them, I don't know.

Also one last question, does anybody know how bad/good a grade B screen is?

I have tried them before. They are not that bad. They do have some scratches on them.
