In this video I'm showing how to open and disassemble the Kindle PaperWhite 5 Signature Edition (2021) (PW5SE) and what's on the board. This may be useful for replacing the battery too. The last 15 min of the video is just me probing around with a scope, and you can skip that unless it's of interest. Hell you can skip any part of this if it's not interesting!

Has anyone looked at the back of the board? Is there an eMMC connector on it or serial port?
I didn't remove the board as it was glued down and I didn't want to attempt it unless I thought it was necessary.

9:22 That’s the charging coil for wireless charging, which is a Signature Edition-only feature (along with the increased storage and automatic frontlight brightness adjustment).

Hi Bryan, thanks for sharing this video. I wonder if the battery in this Kindle PW5 is replaceable.

Very Nice Channel! Just a question do you know what material is made of the back of kindle? i'm pretty sure it is Polypropylene. and this would be better than aluminum for kindle usage? i do believe kindle made of aluminum and glass (oasis) it's not needed only for stethic purposes once that glass cover display are fragile and all e-ink displays has layers of glass beneath it.

Would you be able to enlighten me on how the button works? Unluckily I dropped mine onto the corner of a metal stand exactly on the button. The little part inide seems to have concaved in. Would love to repair but dont know what the part is called or how i would replace. The plastic outside button is fine just the thing it presses inside is broken.

About to try this so i can sand down the button, so it becomes inset. It's incredibly annoying that i can't rest it right-side up on a shelf, or hold it one hand from the bottom, without pressing that damn button.
