Introdução

If your Amazon Kindle 8 is suffering from hardware issues, like failure to boot, freezing, or displaying error messages, use this guide to replace the motherboard.

The motherboard is the core of the device. It manages all hardware operations. A damaged motherboard can cause the Kindle to malfunction or become completely unresponsive.

Before beginning, rule out simpler issue like a faulty battery or software glitches to confirm the motherboard is the problem.

Work cautiously with internal components to avoid static discharge or damage to delicate components.

    • Insert the iFixit opening tool into any corner of the Kindle’s front cover.

    • Gently slide the tool along the edges and carefully separate the front cover from the inner front cover.

    • Keep even pressure to avoid any cracks.

    • Lift front cover once all clips are disengaged.

    • Lift the front cover gently so that it is not cracked.

    • Use a T4 Torx screwdriver to remove the seven 3 mm screws around the perimeter of the device.

    My Kindle's top two screws are similar to the placement here. But the ones at the bottom are tucked under the motherboard. How do I access these?

    How is your touch works after such disassembly? I see one IR LED diod missing on the photo, probably because inner cover was removed carelessly. These diodes works for touch system in this reader, without attached inner cover touches won't work
