Replace japanese PW2 screen on a french-bought PW2?
Hello,
I have a PW2 wifi (905A), bought in Japan in 2014. It wasn't jail-broken. Last month, it suddenly showed something like "update failed". After, it has never re-booted. I decided to make serial port, with success, but diagnose leads to: the eMMC is dead. I could have a PW2 bought in France with broken screen. The guy doesn't know exact model, but says it's a 6th gen. So my question about compatibility: could I replace my screen (PW2 905A) on a PW2 2013 motherboard bought in France? (are the both screens same model?) Many thanks for advises, Harnon. |

Hello,
I got the kindle with broken screen today, and replaced the motherboard to my working screen. It is perfect, works fine. Really happy to have my kindle back. Thank you for helping. Harnon. |

So if the seller did not de-register it before selling it, your still using his account / registration. If you have any trouble getting it registered to your account, contact Amazon Customer service - they should be able to update their records. |
