Einleitung

This guide explains how to remove the motherboard from the Kindle Fire HD 6. This guide has a lot of steps, so make sure to give yourself enough time to complete all of them.

Note that some of the connectors in this guide are delicate and require special removal, so make sure to read the steps completely before attempting them.

    • Place the device face down on a clean cloth or another smooth surface.

    • In the following steps, you will need to apply some force to your device. If your device is on a rough surface, you may scratch the screen.

    • Insert the plastic opening tool between the device’s front and back panels. You might need to wiggle the tool up and down to wedge it in the gap.

    • Maneuver the tool around the device until the back unclips from the front panel.

    I wasn't sure that I would be able to fix my kindle. I did purchase another kindle, which was alright. I wanted a second kindle so with the purchase and my old one know fixed I am really glad. I feel if I have any future problems I will be able to fix it myself.

    • Gently pry the battery free from the adhesive holding it in place.

    • Take care not to pierce or rupture the battery, which can release dangerous chemicals.

    • If you're having trouble working the battery free, warm it up with an iOpener or hair dryer to soften the adhesive, and then slide a credit card behind the battery to break up the adhesive.

    • Be careful not to yank the battery out—you'll need to disconnect a connector before removing the battery completely.

    • Zero insertion force connectors can break easily. Before performing this step, read the iFixit Guide to Recognizing and Disconnecting Cable Connectors to find out how to safely remove them.

    • Use the tip of the spudger to disconnect the two zero insertion force connectors on the bottom and top of the motherboard.

    • The first connector is attached to an orange tape, and is located in the bottom-right corner of the motherboard. Remove this connector.

    • The second connector is long and thin, and is located at the top of the motherboard, a bit to the right of center. Remove this connector.
