Yes, author didn't go the complete distance. When actually removing glass by heating til adhesive softens. And releases from the bezel. Before tossing the cracked digitizer, I noticed 2 silver rectangle pieces, stuck to outer glass adhesive. That had black double stick tape on these pieces of silver colored metal which are a smaller rectangle. And somewhat camouflaged their existence . And I determined, they stick to rectangle recesses in the bezel. Easily overlooked by most. I hunted around, never finding any reference anywhere in text or video. However, I did find a picture of them. On a pink colored bezel on ebay. I don't know their function, but, could it the source of the problem that people are experiencing. After they replace digitizer they can't get the fire hd 6 to recognize it. DON'T KNOW! Hope you can shed some light on this!!! Other than this snafu, I give author good marks for the rest of very helpful guides Thank you.

After completing this task completely the touch screen is not working? Did I do something wrong or need to fix a connection? Please help!!!

I just did this, twice actually. The first time I tried to separate the new digitizer from the frame, since the replacement frame was black and my original was blue. BAD IDEA. Don't do it - trying to get it out of the frame, settled into the original one, including the metal spacers referred to above, is bound to fail. Just remove the camera from the old frame with the cracked digitizer and move it to the new one - it's only taped in place. Other than that and the fact that the article *seriously* understates the incredible amount of 2-sided glued foam that holds the battery in, the replacement was a breeze.

I discovered you don’t actually even have to remove the battery. I gave up trying to get it off and just unscrewed everything. However, after replacing the screen, the touch screen won’t work now. Any ideas what I did wrong?

Add me to the list of people who tried this but ended up with a non-working digitizer after replacement. Anyone ever figure this out?
