I have twin grand kids, wanted to give them each Kindles. I bought 2 that had cracked screens but functional. Through trial and error I learned. I watch a couple videos on you-tube. I knew I could do this and I did. My first attempt removing the top glass digitized scree broke the LCD. I had to then order and wait for arrival to finish and during my wait I watched several more videos. It arrived and I successfully put it back together, working like new. The second one I knew to use something at each point where I was carefully separating the top glass. So you know all those credit card applications you get in the mail? They are fake plastic cards and they slide "carefully" just under the glass edge making it so much easier to remove it. Be very careful when replacing the screen not to tear the ribbon thing that is on the screen or you will need another one. If you want you could tape yourself as you tear it down to replay to see where each part goes back to.Once you have done a couple you get better at it

Go on ebay I ordered my LCD there and it was 22.00 I replaced the clear digitized (22.00 also). If you still do not want to mess with it, list it for parts and take pictures and post and it will sell trust me.
