Kindle Fire Replacement - Broke old one

[samborambo56]

I recently managed to brick my kindle fire completely by trying to install android os onto it.

I was pissed off that it had 'bricked' so easily and decided to try and 'get lucky' by phoning amazon support and asking for new one.

After clarifying it wasn't a simple problem (as I already knew) they decided to send me new one but I need to send the old one back.

When I send the old one back will they try and find out what is wrong and if they do, will they try to charge me for the new kindle or should I not worry. I just feel quite guilty now because their support has been so good and also I am worried they will discover it wasn't accidental damage.

Anyone got any opinions/suggestions

Get ready to pay for a new Kindle would be my suggestion! :lol:

Hey I'm not the one who bricked a Kindle!

But surely I can claim it as 'accidental' damage to some extent, right? and if they've just sent me a new one straight off after a 10 minute phone call because its under warranty, then I get the impression they would have sent me a new one regardless ... even if I'd like deliberately smashed it with a hammer or something...

If the Kindle is not compatible with the OS you tried to install then why did you try it? And did you tell them what you did?

At no point in the phone conversation was I asked about whether I'd broke it accidentally or not so no, I didn't tell them :S ... The reason I was trying to install android os was because the os on the kindle by default SUCKS and it doesn't even have flappy bird in its app store...
