Where to Buy And Fit New Amazon Kindle DX Battery

Post by GDI_Lord »

HELPZZZ!!! URGNET!ZZSSZSZSZZ!!! ;-)

My Dad's Kindle DX's battery is beginning to die - it has a very short battery life all of a sudden. Where can one buy a new battery and have it fitted? Preferably Gauteng please.

My Dad contacted Incredible Connection, they told him to contact Amazon. He said that Amazon's help page led him to justanswer.com which asked him to put down R290 in order to have an "expert technician answer his request in real time online." I say phoo-ey to that!!! Sounds like a scam to me, especially when the owning company is Pearl.com The thing is I don't know if he actually even went to the REAL Amazon site because he has the stupid silly Ask.com taskbar installed in all his browsers that has changed his default search engine.

SO, any help please anybody?

Edit:
BX -> DX typo fix.

$7.

I suspect his browser is infested... may want to warn him not to do any banking...

Thanks rusty. It's nice to know that they're available for sale at least. Do you (or anyone) know of any place in SA that sells replacement DX batteries?

Yeah, I'll tell my Dad to have his PC scanned/Ask.com removed or else I'll just do it for him.
For a hefty fee.
Like a Ferrari California convertible.
Or a Tesla Model S.
Or McDonald's.

personally, i'd order direct... even with shipping these products tend to be cheaper than the local guys... unless there's a time constraint? (verify model and part)
