Stap 1 Screen

Remove the SIM card tray (if present in your model).

Remove the SIM card tray (if present in your model).
Insert a large plastic opening tool next to the Kindle's headphone jack.
- Make sure the notch on the plastic opening tool is facing the back of the Kindle.
Move the plastic opening tool evenly around the Kindle, separating the two halves.
Be careful not to completely separate the rear cover. There are two delicate flex cables that connect the display assembly to the motherboard.

Getting the SIM card dummy plug out a real challenge. Broke off one end. Seems this part was never intended to be removed.

Stap 2

Set the Kindle down on the rear case.
Holding the display assembly near the camera, carefully open the display assembly up to about 90 degrees from the rear case.
These images show the Kindle laying flat. In order to prevent damage to the flex cables, keep the Kindle open at 90 degrees while disconnecting the display assembly.

Stap 3

Lift the retaining flap on the ZIF connector of the upper flex cable.
Gently pull the cable out of its socket.
- This flex cable is delicate. Be careful not to crease or bend it while working.

This is very delicate. The flap is very easy to break off. Remove the yellow tape on both these connectors and replace with ordinary plastic tape upon reassembly. If you don't tape them you'll pull them apart working on the other. A helper to hold the assy is a good idea.

- Eight 3 mm Phillips screws from the body of the midframe

The screws are next to the ports, not the camera.

Stap 10

Starting at the outside edge of the battery, use the flat edge of a spudger to separate the battery from the rear of the device.
- Work carefully. Excessive force on battery may cause it to bend, break, or crack.
Move the spudger along each side of the battery, prying upwards with even pressure.
As the adhesive releases, push the spudger further underneath the battery.
Once half of the battery is detached, pry the other half in the same manner.
Remove the battery assembly from the Kindle.
