Project - Installing Firmware on a Demo Unit Kindle Paperwhite

You shouldn't have to solder anything.

Give me a few days and I'll see if I still have the instructions at work.

I would say learn how to solder, but depending on how small the points are, it might not be a beginner project. To be honest, though, wire glue will likely be harder than soldering in any scenario. I haven't worked with wire glue before, but it sounds like a bad idea either way.

Got any pics of what you'd be attempting to solder to?

Here is a summary of what I have to do. Link included. The points are pretty small.

Anyone with a decent amount of soldering experience should be able to solder to those points. They are small, but there's a decent enough gap between them that there's little chance of creating a short and there are no nearby components to damage or get in the way.

I can't really speak to how well wire glue would work because I've never worked with the stuff. I would be concerned about creating an unreliable connection that would disconnect while in the middle of something important like writing firmware.

Interesting project though. I have been wanting a Kindle lately but can't justify spending the money when I never have the time to read. I might look around for a demo Kindle instead.
