Kindle Dx Battery Replacement Failed

MarjaE · 07-29-2016, 10:39 PM

I had a number of battery life problems with my Kindle Dx, and then usb connection problems. Although my battery life problems seemed to resolve themselves, the usb connection problems kep worsening until I couldn't transfer files from my computer any more.

I ordered a battery replacement kit. Due to sensory issues, I can't watch video. Due to a different set of coordination issues, my brother has trouble with tools. I tried to follow his instructions, but the spudger broke. I managed to get part of the back off anyway, but couldn't get farther, so I put it back on.

(I also had some trouble with the sleep switch, but was able to restore that.)

Any suggestions?

Isn't there anyone you know who could watch the video and do it for you? Failing that, maybe Best Buy's Geek Squad, if you have one near. Otherwise there is a place you can mail to and have it done - just google replace battery for Kindle DX.
