If your Kindle Fire HD 10 (7th generation) has a cracked or malfunctioning screen, use this guide to replace it (model number B01J6RPGKG).

This screen assembly displays the output of the device and is made of a glass panel, a digitizer, and an LCD display combined. Your display might need to be replaced if it is scratched, cracked or if the LCD display is malfunctioning, because this could affect its touch screen functionality. Replacing the display will help restore the touch function and get rid of the missing/dead pixels or flickering on a display.

In the case of a shattered display, use this guide for taping and reinforcing your screen prior to starting the display replacement. This will help prevent injury during the replacement.

You will need to use the iOpener in step 4, which is a tool used to loosen adhesives attached to the display. Follow the iOpener heating instructions carefully to avoid burns.

Before beginning, make sure to power off your Kindle Fire completely and disconnect from any external power source.

    • Pry open the case using the iFixit tool.

    • Make sure to go around the whole case before removing the whole case.

    7th gen Fires don't have a beveled back like in the photos. That looks like a 4th gen model. The 7th gen and newer have rounded edges and a flat back. The screen is glued to the chassis. You need to heat it up to about 65°C to soften the adhesive, and a suction cup to pull it away from the body to the tablet.

    • After removing the casing, flip the tablet over so the screen is facing down.

    Can you be clearer about what you mean here? I also think you could combine this with the next step, and maybe mark up this image to show where the connector is.

    • Pry open the ZIF connector that is attached to the screen carefully using an iFixit Jimmy tool.

    • Pull out the connector using the rubber tipped tweezers carefully.

    Proofread carefully for capitalization and end punctuation—this is the last time I’m marking these errors. How can I pry open the connector? What tool are you using here? How can I pull out the connector?

    • Heat up an iOpener (or use a heatgun) and apply it along the edges of the screen.

    • Begin to pry open the edges of the screen carefully using an opening pick.

    • It may help to pry open the edges first.

    When you’re using tools, make sure to identify them. Check this throughout all guides.

My fire tablet needs an lcd screen replacement

I just completed this tutorial. I feel it is missing some important steps/tips.

STEP 1 - Pry open using a plastic pry tool. Do not be afraid to use a little force after you have gone around the edges since there are plastic clips in the middle of the back panel. DO NOT insert any pry tools deep inside to pry it open. You could damage some wiring or the motherboard itself. Just use your hand and don’t try to go to fast.

STEPS 2 is good

STEP 3 - DO NOT use a metal tools at any time during this step. Use a small plastic pry tool to lift up the BACK part of the ZIF connector until it is vertical. It should not take much force at all. Do not try to pull the flex out prior to this step or you will damage the flex and/or the socket. once the ZIF socket is unlocked (vertical), you should be able to pull the display flex out by hand - NO BIG OR FAST MOVEMENTS.

STEP 4 - if using heat gun, use low heat and heat evenly. heat up the flex a little before transferring.

STEP 5 - I used 2 sided tape to replace the stock adhesive

Never mind gorilla glass -- Amazon used gorilla glue all around the screen/digitizer. In an hour of alternate heatgun, razor, and pry tool work, I got one corner and about 10cm of one edge free. An Amazon-refurbished tablet goes for $60-$75; unless you value your time (and curses) very little, I can't recommend this project.

Where are the steps to actually replace the screen? I only see the steps to remove the screen

I would absolutely NOT recommend you try this, unlike the ipads the screen an digitizer are very difficult to seperate, ipad was actually easier than this was. Save your money either take it to a repair shop or buy a new device. In my case the crack went through the screen an into the visualizer, it is almost expensive to buy a new screen as a new device. Best of luck.
