My friend's K3 has a broken screen, and I'm thinking of repairing it to surprise her. She's a literature graduate now studying to be a teacher, and she's reluctant to pay for a new K3. I know of at least one guide showing the teardown for the K3 so I thought I might be foolhardy enough to try.
I'm not exactly fantastic at putting things together--but good at taking them apart (!)--and i'm not sure if it will really work perfectly thereafter, so has anyone tried? I have practically zero knowledge about how electronics work, so I wonder if I can scrape by being very organised, taking copious photos and checking this instructable on fixing a broken screen: http://www.instructables.com/id/Fix-your-broken-Kindle-Keyboard-Screen/?
Is there anyway I can purchased a secondhand K3 that has an intact screen but is otherwise non functioning? I know the replacement screen is available on ebay but I'm leery about whether I can even pull this off! If I do it will be a wonderful surprise for her!
