Will buying this and taking it to someone who CAN repair it save money? Or should I not bother?

I bought the wrong one. I understand that the fire HDX is hard to take apart.

It depends on how much you pay a repair person. My son is a repair person and did the work for free. if he had charged me it would have saved forty dollars compared to a new one

Depending on how long you have owned it, I would first go to the vendor on a warrantee concern. After that see if you could either purchase the component or canabalize it from a defective unit.

If they do, see your owner's manual they will charge you a shipping fee both ways, so most times not worth repairing using the manufacturer.

The buyer should contact Amazon, or if Amazon suggests it, the company Amazon obtained it from. Knowing Amazon's reputation, I am sure they will replace it for you at no cost.

I think I paid between $40-60. I would call a local shop or two and ask. Shouldn't be an expensive repair.

It needs to be sent to the company to be fixed or taken to a local repair person

Nope... Get one... It'll make this easier - especially if most of the components are faulty parts and you get to change it 5-6 times

Sorry, but for the price, I'd order a new one. Then you'll have some spare parts if you need them for something else that may get damaged.

You could possibly get in contact with the maker directly, as far as replacing parts that have malfuntioned and or the unit itself. They offered me a few options, statrinng with replaceing two small parts that got mine working just fine.

I've not had that problem. I would probably do a search online for parts. However, something tells me that you would probably do best to take it to a repair shop.

There are some good youtube video that show step by step instructions. Yes, it is not easy but possible I just did not have the money to let a professional repair it so I did it myself. I just took my time and did exactly what the video was telling me and now is working just fine. So the bottom line is you can do it on your own risk.

I researched for parts on ebay. And found amazing prices. As for far as repairs I have no clue but am interested if u know the answer

For the price they have it for the part . It most likely would end up costing the same as a new one.

I can't be very helpful I'm afraid. It's unusual for a manufacturer to replace parts or offer to fix things anymore. (Which really sucks, but...) You may be able to find a business that fixes electronics that could do this for you.

Yes. It can be done fairly easily. If you still wish to repair it yourself, I will send you a link by which you can see step by step photos of my successful repair. Like you, for the cost I couldn't stomach throwing it away and Chi told me it would be 6-8 weeks and the total cost for the repair and return shipping was going to be $72.00! Give me a break, I can buy a new one for almost the same price, so I decided to try to repair it, and it was surprisingly easy. Total repair time takes about 20 min from start to finish.
