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 UA-cam 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. ua-cam.com/users/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.
Excellent video and nice work. Thanks for the link to the USB sockets too.
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.
Great job! Thank you so much for posting
Time to get one of those digital microscope thingies from Amazon. Great video.
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.
Great work nice lesson thank you 👍
Excellent video, thanks!
This video is 🔥. Amazon 🔥. Nice job and thanks for sharing!
this is very informative, thank you
Very useful. Thank you.
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
Thanks for the great video! What temperature is best for the air soldering tool?
Awesome video! I envision the most unnecessary upgrade project for this one, larger speakers, usb-c and maybe solder qi receiver to usb pads? :)
Educational
Very informative!
The linked part looks different from your video.
I wonder if you can change it out for usbc instead.
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?
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
Had me a little dance party there in the middle of the video
Any idea if the boot hdd can be removed and replaced ?
Where's you get the plastic things you use to take connectors off please?
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.
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.
Hi, I don’t see link for replacement part anywhere. Do you mind pasting it again for me?
How hot does the heat need to be from heat gun and solder?
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!!!
Will this work for the kids 8? Thank you
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.
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.
What is the bottle that you used
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.
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 u fix my fire tablet USB port pkz
Love your accent
Can I use the heat from a glue gun?
No
Wht is a tag in back cover like nfc or rfid
It could be for theft prevention, or some other type of inventory control.
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?
I want to chang my fire tab charging pin
Can I use the heat from a glue gun to melt off the wires?

This my tablet fire7 to batery error
Are you a technician?
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
Cool,but not about a SIM port
What’s your email and contact info?! Can I pay you to repair my daughters?!
Amazon puts shitty ports in on purpose. I swear. My daughters broke in one week and she was never allowed to use it
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.
I used thumbtacks to get the screen out lmao
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, 😁
