Kindle Fire HD 8.9" Camera Replacement

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

Insert a large plastic opening tool next to the Kindle's headphone jack.

Move the plastic opening tool evenly around the Kindle, separating the two halves.

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.

Lift the retaining flap on the ZIF connector of the upper flex cable.

Gently pull the cable out of its socket.

Lift the retaining flap on the ZIF connector of the lower flex cable.

Gently pull the flex cable from its socket.

Separate the display assembly from the rest of the device.

Remove the following sixteen screws from the metal midframe on the rear of the device:

One 3 mm Phillips screw from each corner

Four 3 mm Phillips screws surrounding the ports

Eight 3 mm Phillips screws from the body of the midframe

Carefully remove the metal midframe.

After taking off the metal casing, locate the camera.

Use your index finger to carefully lift up the silver clip located just under the camera until you notice the obvious click when it comes loose.

After you snap up the silver clip, move your finger to the opposite side so that you are now pointing into the Kindle. Finally push the camera outwards towards the edge of the device.

Once the camera piece is taken out, this is what you should end up with.
