Where did you source a replacement charging port?

Stefan B - Mar 7, 2021

I also need one please, did you ever manage to find one?

William McGinnis - Jun 21, 2021

Since I don’t see an answer a year and a half later; I’ll ask the question again. Does anyone know somewhere to order a replacement charge port for this model? The replacement procedure doesn’t seem too difficult but I can’t find the Kindle Oasis part that is inclusive with the ribbon cable anywhere.

Vincent Bryan - Jul 12, 2021

I also am trying to purchase a replacement. Anyone have any success?

Bobby Turner - Sep 20, 2021
