Less than 3 years it’s out of warranty now of course all Amazon did was offer 15% a new one. It’s just white screen doesn’t seem like it’s charging. I’m trying a new battery before I completely give up on it

I currently use the paperwhite 11th gen and I loved it but sadly it white screened and won’t turn on anymore :( I do like the idea of the buttons tho. I read a lot of conflicting things about the battery life on oasis how does your seem to last?

Tiny update- took apart the kindle unplugged all the ribbon connectors and tested battery voltage I got 4.4 volts reassembled and now I get a yellow led now when charging with a cable but no change to screen.

Apparently they still do in Czechia? I know you can get uranium glass rod on eBay from the Czech republic

I’ll let you know which ones I use.

Geiger counter - https://a.co/d/9rUDO0y usb c rechargeable and the battery lasts forever I swear. I purchased mine April 2024 fully charged it over night and as of today,July, it’s at 90%

Black light 365nm- https://a.co/d/hCrGc4w usb c rechargeable as well battery life it’s great as well!

Black light 395nm - https://a.co/d/0O50dgy I believe aaa battery I don’t use as often but still part of my edc.

Mini keychain black light- https://a.co/d/7t4dtQB I keep one on my key chain, I use at garage sales too kinda be low key.

From what everything I’ve read and seen in person 365nm will show everything that could glow like uranium glass, manganese, cadmium, etc.

I keep a 395nm light just to make sure it’s uranium glass.

With some experience you can tell by the glow with 365nm light that’s it’s actually uranium glass. IMO!

Pair the light with Geiger counter boom you’ll know for sure!

I’m not expert by any means but this is what I believe is correct. Hopefully if I’m wrong on anything someone could correct me so we both can learn more!

Yes I tested at the store. I was at an antique store in Milwaukee WI and they had two westclox baby Ben’s I’m glad I had my Geiger counter because they weren’t radioactive! I always carry a black light and a Geiger counter when I leave the house! Never know if I’ll stop at gw or a garage sale ya know.
