I wasn't sure that I would be able to fix my kindle. I did purchase another kindle, which was alright. I wanted a second kindle so with the purchase and my old one know fixed I am really glad. I feel if I have any future problems I will be able to fix it myself.

i had a battery that wouldn't even last a full day in the end. by accident i let the battery fall below 10% charge and when turned on it only showed the battery icon. I fully charged it and now i am having no problems with it. what i think happened is it reset the batteries memory and that was the problem. worth trying anyway before buying a new battery.
