Bricked Kindle Scribe
Hi. I've got a bricked kindle scribe. Wondering if anyone knows whether serial connections are possible on this model and if so where to find it in the kindle.

I don't think anyone has successfully opened a Scribe without significant damage. Even so, it's not running an i.MX SoC like Kindles of old that had accessible serial pads. It's been moved to a MediaTek SoC and like other modern Kindles may not have serial exposed on the board.

Kindle Scribe can be easily opened, no glue!

Ah, thanks for the video link. Looks like my memory of seeing people opening a Scribe is faulty. I'm probably remembering other models.

There is also another video where Scribe gets unnecessarily destroyed.
Also, Kindle Oasis 2-3 (and maybe 1) are made with glue, so there it is very hard to avoid breaking the glass. There, a proper way to open it would be by using heating bed (like ones used for BGA soldering) to uniformly heat all the glue. |

That's less of a problem for almost all electronics compared to a shelf in a car in direct sunlight or a hot plate. If it's very cold ( < -20 °C) a battery or LCD might not work till it's warmed up.

Is it the lock screen where you see changing wallpapers every 10 seconds?
If so, you need to do “secret gesture” to unlock demo mode. |
