Kindle Fire HD 8: Unable to lift out the motherboard - RESOLVED

Wed, 12 Aug 2026 02:06:07 -0700

I wanted to remove the motherboard due to something going wrong when modding my Fire, i found out i had to short some pins. But when i removed the back cover, i found out the pins were on the other side. Found screws, i unscrewed them, only to realize i was unable to take the board out. This tablet was taken apart a few times by repair people but not myself, and i don't want to damage anything. Help would be appreciated.

Well turns out guys i just had to disconnect everything. I was attempting the removal with the display and digitizer connectors still attached, but now i disconnected them and the board came out successfully.

Kobo Libra 2: Kobo Libra 2 dead after 1 month of no use - no charge LED, no response

Tue, 11 Aug 2026 15:31:39 -0700

Looking for advice before I commit to a battery replacement.

My Kobo Libra 2 was working perfectly with no signs of battery degradation whatsoever. Normal charge times, normal runtime, no swelling, no issues. It then sat unused for about a month. Now it's completely unresponsive:

- No charging LED when plugged in (from any source)

- No response to short or long power button presses

- Screen stays blank, no "Powered off" message, no boot logo, nothing

What I've already tried:

- Multiple USB-C cables (data-capable, known good)

- Multiple power sources, including a 2A wall adapter (not just computer USB)

- Power button hold for ~30 seconds, then attempted reboot

- Left it plugged into the wall adapter overnight, no change in the morning

- Inspected the USB-C port, it's clean with no lint or debris, and the connector seats fully

Kobo support told me it's out of warranty and pointed me to iFixit as their repair partner. I understand iFixit doesn't currently stock a genuine Kobo battery for the Libra 2 specifically (only for the newer Colour models), so I'd be sourcing an aftermarket 305080 cell.

My questions:

1. Given that the device was fully healthy a month ago and just sat unused, does this sound like a deep-discharged battery latched off by the protection circuit, or could it be something on the motherboard?

2. Anything else worth trying before I open it up?

3. For the Libra 2 specifically, any tips on the battery swap? Recommended sources for a pre-wired 305080 to avoid soldering directly to the board? Anything to watch out for on disassembly?

Thanks in advance.

Hi, I tried to upload a file with Calibre and the Libra 2 stopped working. I tried to reset it, but screen became white and flash began lightening. Now I can turn it on and off, but basically nothing happens, but screen is white and light is flashing. When plugged, PC recognized something but is not able to identify the device. Any idea? Thanks.

I have an iPad that's stuck on the Apple logo. I tried restoring it in DFU, recovery mode, and cooked-up custom firmware, all with the same result.

Hi All,

just a quick one. I googled it, youtubed it and no answer... Can't believe there is absolutely no info on internet of how this is done??

People are saying if it isn't on youtube - it doesn't exist

Please if someone could prove me wrong and share a link to a video or tutorial

How to open Xperia Z3 tablet? How to change the cracked screen for example, or how to get to the battery to change it?

I know there's no video tutorials of how it's done, but maybe at least a photo-tutorial or text guide?

Any help would be appreciated.

Is it a hardware or a software issue ?

Galaxy Tab S6: Why won't my tablet turn on? Hard reset not working.

Thu, 06 Aug 2026 06:31:52 -0700

I was switching between apps when my tablet froze. I restarted it and it all seemed normal, until it got stuck on the samsung logo page. It kept reloading only up to that point before it turned black. I tried pressing the power button and lower volume button to restart it, didn't work either. Is there anyway to get it to work again, or at least get access to my data on it?

Lenovo Tab E8: I have a water damaged E8 could I salvage it for a project?

Tue, 04 Aug 2026 09:03:08 -0700

I have a Lenovo Tab E8 with 1 GB of RAM and 16 GB Flash which was water damaged by my sister who dipped it in water to cool it down.

When I put it on charge it shows a red light but it doesn't seem to turn on also it has been 3 years since and I had tried to dry it by wrapping it in a towel.

So is only the display cooked and could I use the parts to make a simple raspberry Pi alternative or is everything damaged?

I tried to link my kobo reader to my computer and when the screen to confirm the linking came up none of my inputs would work ! anywhere i'd tap on the screen, it would do nothing.
I tried unlinkin my tablet, the linking pop-up disapeared but still my inputs weren't recognized by the touchscreen. fortunately, when i powered my tablet off and on and the touchscreen worked again.

Any idea why the touchscreen wouldn't work in that moment ? i also have connectivity problems with my tablet, so mabe this has something to do with it ? it never did that before.
