Get the USBnetworking package for the K3 -
Read ALL of the directions - Install it - ssh (or putty if on windoze) into the K3 - You now have the K3 command line interface in front of you. Now look for the path: /opt/eink/images on the K3 (not on your pc). |

Take your packages from: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=225030 The section titled: "Packages targeting the K2/DX/DXG/K3/K4" Inside of the USBnetworking archive, you will find a file named: USBNetwork/Update_usbnetwork_0.57.N_k2_dx_k3_install.bin See the title? If you have a K3 (which you do), use that one, not the one for the K4. (in fact, the one for the K4 should not have installed since these packages are suppose to be model locked, but it has been a long time since anyone tested these old device packages.)

What do you mean: "from the very same forum" ?
Are you trying to combine packages you get from Mobileread with those from another site? or is that just a typo - you meant "from the very same thread" ? |

Hello,
Thanks for creating this thread - a lot of informative stuff here. I have a slightly odd problem with my Kindle. I bought a new screen from China for my Kindle, installed it and the problem is that it displays parallel horizontal lines every few milimeters. The screen refreshes and displays the screensavers etc. but these lines are always there. Here is an exmaple: https://ibb.co/cSwrzT do you think a hot swap with an old one will do the trick? Any other options? Thanks! Rdk |

Is there any place to find screen serial linked to Kindle serial number? I just had to switch motherboards and the screens I have won't display pictures. How can I find the right one? I don't even remember where this motherboard came from!

Hi guys! I replaced the motherboard of my book with a similar one. but I have a problem with the compatibility of the screens. The image is not clear, as described in this topic. there is also a problem with the fact that my, the whole screen does not have a microcircuit on the loop. Tell me, how can I solve the problem with a bad image in this case?
temporary solution with reboot does not suit me |

Had this problem for years! Didn't know it was such a simple fix =). For some reason there was a loose screw in my kindle too =/ Couldn't figure out where it goes... so left it out. |
