Unable to lift out the motherboard - RESOLVED

I wanted to remove the motherboard due to something going wrong when modding my Fire, i found out i had to short some pins. But when i removed the back cover, i found out the pins were on the other side. Found screws, i unscrewed them, only to realize i was unable to take the board out. This tablet was taken apart a few times by repair people but not myself, and i don't want to damage anything. Help would be appreciated.

Update (06/16/25)

Well turns out guys i just had to disconnect everything. I was attempting the removal with the display and digitizer connectors still attached, but now i disconnected them and the board came out successfully.

The last time I opened my Fire HD, everything had dbl faced tape holding it together.

Try heating things gently with a hair dryer and lifting slowly.

I did so, even on the highest heat setting it had but still no luck. Inside, 3 clips hold the board in place, but i was able to get out only one of them. I was unable to get out the rest, i tried everything to the point i damaged the board sides slightly (hopefully not going into circuits). I have absolutely no idea on what to do next.

Hi @xpuser2600

Here's a video that may help.

View from 4:40 minutes into the video to see the board being removed from the case.

That's the 8th generation one, not the 7th one like mine. The testpoint pins are right on the face side of the board, if i had that one i wouldn't be asking for help. The board is stuck on 3 clips, i managed to get one out but the rest of the two do not want to.

Apologies.

I was only going on what the title of the video showed i.e. "Taking apart an Amazon Fire 8” 7th Gen tablet" which was the device selected by you in the question
