Thanks for this. Helped me fix my kid's tablet. After buying the part and tearing down the unit, I called a local repair place and asked what they'd charge just to do the soldering work: $60. For a little more than that, I bought my own rework station and did it myself and learned a new skill (except I already knew basic soldering).
Thanks for the comment 👍 I am glad it helped you. I made the video because I was fixing this for a friends kid and I could not find any good info or videos for this version of the tablet so I figured I would make one.
@@TheRetroBen So this one has a micro USB port? My new Fire 8 tablet has a type C. Every Fire 7 I`ve had has failed right away because of the charging port no matter how gentle I tried to be. I like them for making simple quick RUclips videos because they have good sound levels. Hopefully my expensive new Fire 8 will last more than 3 months.
@@TheRetroBen: You are so stupid, You have to put on the back cover right before you test it out so that you don't break it, did you even ground yourself?
This is my friend's second Kindle. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxOnUR4NaproSbBbD2sdI4XcDZ58Jz8GOx The first one which is about 5 or 6 years old quit charging because the bottom connector went bad. When I saw they upgraded to a USB C connector I knew it was time. I think the old USB Micro connectors are a PIA. Her new one is great. It synced right out of the box and connected to WiFi immediately. The thing is perfect! Sooo mine will arrive tomorrow. (Been reading off an old Fire) What bugs me are the reviewers that give this product one star because it didn't work out of the box or they were too dumb to figure it out. If it doesn't work send it back and get another one. It couldn't be easier with Amazon. Giving it one star because it didn't work says nothing about a good one that does work. I bet a bad one is one in a thousand or more. Give it a break...just get another one.
Thanks for this video. I was able to repair my sons kindle. It was my first time doing something like this but the instructions were good.
great vid. was able to use one tablet as parts and fix my kids broken tablet
Awesome video. If possible, quick request…can you add the temps settings of the solder iron, precision soldering iron, and heat gun/pen for the part removal…maybe in the description?
I will have to make note of the settings next time I do one lick this. Although my settings may differ a good bit from other equipment. My soldering iron is now a much older model Weller and my hot air tool is actually a cheap Chinese one, although it gets the job done. Thanks for the comment.
Had me a little dance party there in the middle of the video
Dude I had so much progress in my tablet and out of nowhere it didn’t want to charge and I was sooooo happy that I found a charging port and this video because I would have been so mad if I had to reset all of that progress.
Excellent video and nice work. Thanks for the link to the USB sockets too.
Awesome video! I envision the most unnecessary upgrade project for this one, larger speakers, usb-c and maybe solder qi receiver to usb pads? :)
Time to get one of those digital microscope thingies from Amazon. Great video.
This video is 🔥. Amazon 🔥. Nice job and thanks for sharing!
Where's you get the plastic things you use to take connectors off please?
I don't know why unsolder the speakers they just pop right out of there holes and then when you're done, you can just pop them back in un soldering. The speakers is such a waste of time but to each their own
My tablet could be a little different but it's basically the same I think
Awesome video. Thank you very much for taking the time to put this together and share it with the interested audience. Very helpful. Thank you once again. God bless you and your family
I ooo(08 9th
What god? pmsl
I wonder if you can change it out for usbc instead.
Very useful. Thank you.
Great job! Thank you so much for posting
Very informative!
The linked part looks different from your video.
your soldering work is fine and perfect! I want to do it myself but I am not so confident that I can do it myself. I will broke it myself. The most amateur have not enough tools and techniques to solder/unsolder it finely.
Is there another way to charge the battery without replacing USB jack?
Thanks! from interested amateur. Shigeru
this is very informative, thank you
Great work nice lesson thank you 👍
the piece with the capton tape (not sure if spelled correctly), is placed differently and is definitely not as easy as this to pull off, with any of the "ifixit" tools with the version I have. Also, the ribbon cable by the battery, when disconnecting, the lever that pulls up was stuck in place. Any tips on these issues for different models?
Bought these just last Xmas for kids and same issue after 5 months only! Shouldn’t they go back for warranty replacement if this common issue?
They may take care of it. In my opinion the connector is just a bad design, I have seen many of these type of connectors fail in different items. The one I repaired in the video was definitely out of any warranty though.
Amazon does that shit on purpose!!!
Thanks for the great video! What temperature is best for the air soldering tool?
Educational
I got mine installed after a very tedious hour. But mine still isn’t charging, so I’m guessing I may have lifted the solder pads on the circuit when I desolder The old USB port. We know for a fact it was a defective charger port bc you had to hold the wire firmly in it to charge. Then that eventually stopped working. So I get excited thinking I got it fixed for my daughter and it still won’t charge. Do you have a email address I can contact you and possibly send mine out to you to fix? I will pay a repair fee for your time.
Excellent video, thanks!
What kind of Kester Flux were you using?
It is a liquid flux link here www.amazon.com/dp/B01N2333K5?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
It works pretty well but I would prefer a light paste.
Any idea if the boot hdd can be removed and replaced ?
Love your accent
Can I use the heat from a glue gun?
No
Thank you. At the speaker connection, you put some transparent liquid before soldering it. What is that?
Soldering flux I would guess. It`s to ensure a good solder/metal connection.
mine lasted 3.5 years. Bought it for $50.. I'm wondering if I should try to fix it. The heat gun and parts would cost me about $35 ..
You don't have to use the hot air tool it can be de-soldered with an iron and de-soldering braid, or flood solder on all the pins to get it loose and lift it off carefully.
Well done! Too much work for me though.
Dudes,where can I take the old amazon fire tablet to replace the old charger port with the new one.
Because I don't the tools the fix it.
Wht is a tag in back cover like nfc or rfid
It could be for theft prevention, or some other type of inventory control.
Can u fix my fire tablet USB port pkz
Die dritte Schraube war bei mir auch lose. Ich denke darüber nach, einen USB-C Post einzulöten. Hat jemand eine Idee ob es ein Ersatzteil gibt, das hier rein passen würde?
3rd screw lose here too. I am thinking of installing a usb-c port. Has anyone got an idea for a spare part which would fit in here?
How hot does the heat need to be from heat gun and solder?
Hi, I don’t see link for replacement part anywhere. Do you mind pasting it again for me?
Will this work for the kids 8? Thank you
Hi, do you still fix these? I need mine fixed and nothing near me can do it and do you offer if I can ship mines out to you and u can fix it than I can cash app or PayPal you the price?
Please let me know, thanks.
Can I use the heat from a glue gun to melt off the wires?

حبت نخدم الزجاجة
Cool,but not about a SIM port
Amazon puts shitty ports in on purpose. I swear. My daughters broke in one week and she was never allowed to use it
Do you have a email where you can be reached
I sure do it is. theretroben@gmail.com
I'll be in contact with you shortly
I used thumbtacks to get the screen out lmao
For the next video a little more zoom please.
I will, thanks for the suggestion. I am thinking about getting a different camera and maybe a microscope for the fine details on board repairs. The electronics these days are getting so tiny.
What’s your email and contact info?! Can I pay you to repair my daughters?!
Ok video, Why do people insist on play shite music over the top.. please it's not necessary.
I agree, I don't do it anymore, 😁
