You make it look so easy. I've done a little soldering so I know that is not as easy as it looks. It takes a lot of patience (and practice) to do that kind of work. Nice job!
This was great. I have questions about the disassembly tools used. I always suspected the devices are able to repair. The you tube recording is a good tool too. Although, making a video You-Tube recording and loading up to you tube for the benefit participating on the UA-cam platform. Great spirit and loving demonstrating in material way personal independence, initiative and return to happy times when people equipment devices purchase's and parts of them wear out or just break. Makers are happy to sell a new device or new equipment some things are used by young people who want use the devices in the designed and new creative ways too. Big makers like apple(tm) and samsung(tm) prohibit their owners from attempting to fix their device. That is the great spirit. If the device can be repaired the unit have greater value and give better service. Good things in my opinion.
I have a solder station but not a steady hand for the small stuff. I'm trying a wireless charger first then I guess I have nothing to loose by attempting this. I don't think replacing the unit is the answer as it appears to be a design flaw. Any way, thanks for posting this video.
@@peepslostsheep I'm not having much luck with it as of yet. It may not be the right charger for this application. The charger is small and the Kindle fire battery looks a lot bigger than it in the video. I don't see any reason why the appropriate wireless charger wouldn't work.
First off thank you for the video. The wife has already ordered our kid a new tablet but I want to fix this one so I can give it to a less fortunate child. I have the port off and have two questions. 1. What device did you use after you cleaned the board with the wick? It sounded like it punches holes. 2. I'm about to order the replacement port. Is that a 5 pin Type B USB Micro that you are using as a replacement?
Hi, After I cleaned the board I used a solder sucker. It has a heated tip with a hole in the center. When you hit the trigger a vacuum pump sucks the solder out from through holes.. As far as the jack goes, I searched ebay for kindle fire 7 usb jack and found an exact replacement. I believe it was under $2 a piece at the time.
Would be nice to see lol but your biggest mistake was not telling people to make sure you discharge your battery first before you start touching the main board with metal tools or looks like tin foil lol for anyone that dosnt know how to discharge any device take battery out or disconnect battery from main board and push and hold in the power button for at least 30 seconds.
Pretty poor demonstration , hardly fills people's confidence to do it themselves , a few mutterings does not cut it , you should have rehearsed it a few times , would have made it easier to understand .
I agree with you. I'm sure he knows what he's doing, but his method of working isn't good for tutorials. It feels very chaotic, he's all over the place, and doesn't explain anything.

Could I get a list of the materials used in this video?
Worked. Thanks
hi u know where the port goes the 5 pin teeth some has worn away
It would be nice if we can see what your doing as the camera isn’t zoomed in enough to see
You need to connect all of your cables to make it work

Let me know if the wireless charger works/worked. If you wouldn't mind.

@@qua7771 needs an NFC system to charge the battery wirelessly. this model does not have a wireless charging system
@@moowater I thought the amp hours of the battery was too high for most chargers. I gave up on mine. I'll buy something better next time.
Please learn how to spell lose.
where did you order the new charging jack?

Can't see what you're doing. Also just mumbling to yourself!!!!

It's a shame. You can pay $60-70 to have it done at a repair shop or buy a Kindle fire newer model for $70 on Amazon
