lessons learned; the replacement screen does not have either the top or botton metal cover with it. You must reuse both metal covers with the new screen. I initially forgot the top metal cover; it had stuck to the old display. You should place the new screen after installation into the old front cover and motherboard on a piece of bubblewrap to keep from putting pressure on the new screen while putting screws back on the motherboard rear cover. The video is OK on dissassembly, but is silent on screen replacement gotchas.

screen replacement successful after display ribbon connector jiggled into the motherboard connector. When placed in the motherboard connector there is a white line on the ribbon about 2mm out. This must be jiggled back and forth while applying slight forward force on the stiff part of the ribbon cable until the white line is even with the motherboard connector.

please describe the cable placement technique for the display into the motherboard. Is forward movement, not just lie flat, required.

@mmt - Kindles have static displays. That message being on there just means the kindle it was removed from had a drained battery when it was disassembled. If you are unsure of the installation, we do offer a repair service.

does this placement require forward movement into the connector other than lie flat? The display arrived from your depot with the same critical battery comment it has now.

@mmt - the cable should go in far enough to cover the contacts on the end of the cable.

Please answer the display connector question.

@mmt - that warning is typically an issue with the battery, so if you haven't tried a replacement battery, you may want to. If you do the power switch reset for 30 seconds and the screen goes blank and comes back on, the display is usually working properly.
