    • Avoid prying near bottom right hand side due to LCD Connector

    • Use a plastic opening tool to pry the screen up in the right hand corner.

    The right side with the power switch on top?

    Sonny Shear -

    Where is the right hand corner? Is it the corner nearest the USB connector? Farthest from USB connector?

    Thanks!

    • Do not completely remove the screen yet as there is a ZIF connector connected.

    • Lift the screen and digitizer from the case.

    • You may need to use some force due to the glue.

    What is a ZIP connector? What does it look like?

    Hi Beldenr! We happen to have a handy guide for a lot of different types of connectors, including ZIF connectors.

    • Locate the power cable that links the battery to the motherboard.

    • Carefully unplug the battery power cable to disconnect the battery from the motherboard.

    • The third image shows what it should look like with the battery power cable is disconnected.

    Battery removal is optional for the motherboard, but is a great addition to this guide for completeness.

    • Begin by locating the double sided pull tape locations.

    • Do not lift on the battery when doing the following step. You will bend it. It is very pliable.

    • Pull the black soft tabs to release the tape's adhesion.

    • Make sure you pull the tabs slowly and continuously away from the case until the adhesive is completely out.

    • Do this to all 4 tabs until the battery is completely free of adhesion to the device's backing.

    Why not heating the tabs a little to take battery easier

why is there so much empty space next to the battery?

Ethan Chow -

Big screen, little processor. The screen dictates the space, that’s why the battery has to be secured with adhesive.

I’m confused. If it’s a battery replacement issue, why is the battery not listed on the parts list? Is that not necessary once you take the old one out? Where do I get a new battery to replace the one this is teaching me to remove? O.o

You’ll have to google one. Amazon does not offer one. They want to sell you a new Kindle instead.

I am buying one with the plastic tools (ebay), even if they suck, they should get through this process once.
