Kindle 3 screens are easily broken.
.....and easy to repair. Follow these steps to repair your Kindle 3
Before you begin: 1) Review the instructions and ensure you understand the steps. 2) A typical repair job will take approximately 15 minutes. 3) The key to successfully repairing your Kindle is in the handling of the replacement screen and in the gentleness of your actions when removing the cover. Make sure you keep track of the little screws that you will need to undo as part of this repair job. You will need: 1) A long bladed knife (or similar object for opening the case) 2) Precision toolset 3) Fingers and hands 4) A replacement screen ** **Need to buy a screen? Go to the last page of this tutorial.
If you use a long bladed knife.... ....be careful! Dont stab or cut yourself.
If possible, nd a precision toolkit that is magnetised. Youll nd this useful when unscrewing the 19x tiny screws later in this tutorial.
Ready? Flip the Kindle on to its back.
Use a long bladed (sharp) knife and insert it into the thin edge at the back of the Kindle cover.
Carefully lever the blade under the cover.
Use your ngers to carefully pry the cover up so that you can slide the knife all the way under the cover.
When you have pushed the knife fully under the cover gently twist the knife, and you will hear clicking noises as the hidden clips inside the Kindle are released.
Use your ngers to gently pry the cover loose.
If you have a Kindle Wi version, then it will look the same as the following image.
If you have a Kindle 3G/Wi version, youll notice that it has an antenna and a SIM card. The red arrows points this out in the next image.
It is now time to put your precision phillips head screwdriver in to action. ....There are 19 screws to undo. You may want to have a small container handy to keep all the small parts that can easily be lost.

Look for the tab which connects the screen to the Kindle motherboard. This needs to be disconnected before the screen is removed. You can use your ngernail or the end of the phillips head screwdriver to disconnect it. Note for later: When you put in your replacement screen you need to reconnect the tab.You need to line up the connectors carefully, and gently click it into place.
You can remove the battery if you wish. This is optional, and not a required step for replacing the screen. If in future the battery does not charge any more, then the battery can be removed and easily replaced by removing the two screws show in the following image.
Put aside all the screws you have unscrewed so far. A small connector with four screw holes will also be removable. Keep this aside.
Be careful with the next section. The red arrows show the parts that can fall out as the screws are no longer in place. This part can be a little tricky to put back.
When all 19 screws have been removed, you are now able to gently lift the motherboard from the base of the Kindle cover. When you lift up the motherboard you will have access to the screen that you are replacing.
Gently pull up the screen using the connector strip.
The red arrows show the metal frame which has some light adhesive on it to keep the screen in place. Carefully peel the broken screen away from the metal frame and the adhesive. Be careful, it is possible that pieces of broken screen will break off.
Check the the keyboard is securely in place. Check that no screws are hidden near the edges or stuck to the adhesive. This is especially important because you can very easily break the screen if you replace it and a screw is stuck to the adhesive.
You should have 19 screws.

(If none have rolled onto the oor)
Check the On/Off button is still in place.
One last thing.... Check that this piece is still in place.
Congratulations! You have just disassembled the Kindle 3 You are now ready to replace the screen.
To replace the screen, the steps are an exact reversal of the steps taken to disassemble the Kindle 3. Before placing the screen in your Kindle 3, you need to remove the screen protector which is often supplied with your replacement screen. The protector is on the screen for protection during shipment only.
