Kindle Touch motherboard photo?

vike · 03-16-2013, 09:27 AM

Hi all.

Was doing a screen repair on a Kindle Touch, and through some foolishness I managed to knock two components off the rear of the motherboard. Now, I can get access to parts and solder them on. But I don't know what they are.

So does someone have a Kindle Touch motherboard lying around they can snap some pics of for me? The region I'm after is the "back" (i.e. not the one totally loaded with RF shields and chips), where the display connector is, but obviously on the other side of the board to the display connector (it being on the front).

Would be greatly in your debt...

Yeah that's good. There's one photo, the second last one, which is almost perfect... except the bit of the board I want is out of focus :-) basically in the middle at the bottom, there is a tiny capacitor or resistor, and a larger resistor. I want to see the colour of the tiny one and the marking on the larger one

But that's great, thanks. Anything similar, anyone?

Yeah, I found those

Unfortunately still not enough detail. But if no one else can help I might contact the photographer and see if I can get a bigger original.
