This is a quick teardown of the Kindle Fire 7" (2015 5th Gen) in order to identify the parts (particularly the digitizer) in order to locate replacements. The digitizer is TPV-AM070BPB01A and appears to be available in China.

    • Locate the seam between the back cover and the front frame and begin prying the back cover off by inserting an opening tool into the seam.

    • Use a pick or opening tool to work from one side down to the bottom and then up the other side while popping the clips that hold the back cover to the front frame.

    • Once the two sides and the bottom are free, lift the bottom part of the cover slightly and push it up to release the headphone jack (yellow), and micro usb (blue) connections from the back cover.

    • The back cover should now come off leaving you with the insides of the Kindle Fire 7" (2015) exposed. You can see the battery (red), the main pcb (at top), rear facing camera (yellow), speaker (orange), and connection cables for the LCD panel (dark blue) and digitizer (light blue).

    • The arrows point to locations where five 3mm screws will need to be removed from. The blue arrow is where a white "s" sticker is found over the screw as what appears to be a warranty voiding tamper seal. Using a little heat allows its removal without damaging it.

    • After the speaker is detached, pull the speaker wire out of the channel it is in carefully.

    • Set the speaker out of the way. On top of the silver microchip cover on the main pcb is a great place for it.

    • With the camera, pcb (and speaker), and battery removed, you can now replace the entire front panel using a part available on ebay here.

    • If you have a digitizer, flip the front panel over. Next we will work on removing the digitizer.

    • Use generous amounts of heat in a cyclical manner to evenly heat the front glass.

    • Using a SlyPry, slowly work the front glass out of the front plastic frame, while continually applying heat to the area being worked.

    • The adhesive is very thick around the outside of the glass and will take a long time and lots of heat to get it loose.

    • As you work around the edges, place guitar picks or iFixit triangle tools between the glass and the plastic frame.

    • Once all of the adhesive is released separate slowly and notice the cable.

    • The part number of the digitizer and/or digitizer cable is TPV-AM070BPB01A-V12a. It also says 008-1531-P2.

    • I don't read Chinese, but the part is available from a single Chinese website at the following URLs. Link 1 Link 2

    • If someone is able to buy some, please let me know so that I can buy several from you as replacements for the one I broke and will most likely brake again.

    "break again", please. BRAKE in your car slows things down ;-)

    I have some... just add "opel" to my username and you can find me on FB.

    Also, my replacement digitizers didn't come with the polarizer film on the back of the inside glass. =\ Hopefully I can reuse them.

One seller from UK started to sell touchscreen glass for Amazon Fire 2015 on eBay UK. I have bought 2, but was dissapointed. First of all glass had no integrated polarization filter. Other thing was missing foam seal around the frame. So be aware. Maybe there is version with polarization filter in LCD, but as I see from your photos - you have same version as me.

Denys Khanzhyiev -

was thinking of getting that digitizer any one replace one yet

radrnatn13 -

Has the replacement screen become available in the states?

Chris hendry -

Thanks for your write up, very helpful!

Helped me to tighten up my charge port which got loosened by strain from the USB cord being pulled.

Thanks for the great tutorial ... worked great! The only problem is after reassembling everything, all of the sudden my kindle fire won't connect to wi-fi. It is not detecting any networks and before it connected just fine.

T Yauck -

Thanks for the teardown tutorial. I needed to repair the charge-port, as it got lose and wouldn't hold the cable tight. a quick 'crimp' of the USB port case to tighten it up around the USB cable more did the job just right.

Thomas Watson -

Ordered mine from here: http://www.ebay.com/usr/guan_lcd took about 2.5 weeks, maybe more. I thinkit may actually be the same vendor as the one in the link in this guide. Replaced my digitizer following this guide and the other one on this website. Everything went fine until I turned the tablet back on and I ended up with a rainbow haze over the screen. Screen is responsive like new, but I really can't see anything, Hope I didn't get a defective digitizer.

Angello -

PS: There's foam padding under the original digitizer, the replacement (same serial number) doesn't have the same foam padding, and it does't come with adhesive strips.

Angello -

My Mistake... There was another piece of film on back side of the new digitizer! It was really hard to see and feel.

Angello -

I just replaced my digitizer and had the rainbow haze issue which appeared to be a missing polarization filter too. I found out that there is a thin piece of plastic on top of the digitizer which interferes with the polarization filter You can easily peel it off but it difficult to see. I put some super strong tape on the back in the middle of the digitizer and then peeled it off, it started to peel the interfering plastic off, everything was perfect after this.

Ey Ey Ron -

anyone sourced the Digitizer yet from a reputable supplier other than ebay?

James Caza -

Hi, does anyone have reloaded the firmware on black screen devices? Or pulled out the EEPROMS to flash external?? Bricked by Downgrade! AOS 5.3 to 5.1 Regards Tom

Got a new battery for mine and it worked then and charged it up but the square steal cover part just up above the battery plug gets real hot. So I unplug the power and the next day can’t turn it on. It’s like it drains the battery to about 1 volt so it just will not start to charge again.

What is this square steal part? I guess I could use a heat gun to replace it if can find were to buy that part?

The battery charge controller chip is underneath that piece of steel shielding/heat sink. Removal probably requires a hot air gun made for surface mount soldering (800 degrees F.). You could try to get it off with an iron and desoldering wick or solder suction tool, but there’s a significant risk of damaging the diode on the battery connector side or the resistor on the opposite side.

I have the same problem with one of these. However, I noticed that the battery connector was not fully seated (it took a magnifying glass to spot it), so when I the charger is available again (it’s charging another Kindle at this time), I’ll try it again. If it still gets hot and won’t charge, the charge controller chip is most likely bad, and I’ll have to pull the shield or send this one to the recycler.

The square above the battery connectors has a smaller rectangle within it and it broke on my kindle so how can I fix it because my date, time and WiFi don't work on my kindle anymore please help me fix this issue
