    • Wedge a plastic opening tool into the lower right corner of the Kindle Fire.

    • Pry the case apart and run the plastic opening tool along the perimeter of the Kindle Fire to release the clips securing the case halves to each other.

    • If you are having extreme difficulty inserting the plastic opening tool, carefully use a metal spudger to undo the first clip, then switch back to the opening tool to avoid scratching your case.

    • It is helpful to pry the bottom of the Kindle Fire away (and out from the side) from the top part. Exerting too much force attempting to split the two without pulling away can cause the tabs on the inside to crack.

    • Use a plastic opening tool to flip open the power button ZIF connector.

    • This connector will not be removed until the motherboard is free.

    • Flip open the ambient light sensor ZIF socket with a plastic opening tool.

    • Use a pair of tweezers to pull the blue tab on the ambient light sensor cable to remove it from its socket.

    Make sure to mark what ZIF connector goes where, they are not interchangeable even though a first glance the appear to be the same size

    David Alvarez - Replica

    It took about 2 hours, but that is, mainly, because reconnecting the ZIF connectors can be overly tedios.

    David Alvarez - Replica

    Apparently not all Kindle Fires have the ambient light sensor; This connector is not present on mine.

    Stand it up on its end, lining up the holes to the wires. Slide into holes and 'flip'/rotate white plastic piece down into a flat position.

    • Use a plastic opening tool to lift up and disconnect the display data cable.

    • Lift up on the antenna connector with a plastic opening tool to disconnect it.

    • De-route the antenna cable.

    Be very careful when disconnecting the antenna, and be sure to note how the cable is routed into the little socket on the motherboard. The reconnecting of the antenna cable into its motherboard port can be tricky and will require patience, persistence and perhaps a magnifier and tweezers.

    Followed the steps but once reassembled the screen comes on but doesn't respond to touch. It was working fine even with broken glass screen. Any suggestions?

    John Moore - Replica

    Mine is doing the same thing! What did you do to fix it?

    Tara -

    I order a replacement motherboard from ifixit and for some reason it had a plastic increasing around the outer edge of the "display data cable connection port" on the motherboard, which makes it impossible to connect the cable to the motherboard. I called ifixit and they said send a picture and a description. Hopefully the customer who owns the kindle fire will understand that after waiting on the part for a week. :\

    Mine no longer responded to touch!!!!! Why did we all have the same problem on reassembly after changing charging port?

    • Use the flat end of a spudger to peel the ambient light sensor cable off of the frame.

    • You will need to peel up the silver tape in the cable's lower right bend. The silver tape under the lower left bend of the cable does not need to come up with it.

    • Use the flat end of a spudger to peel up the silver tape securing the antenna cable.

    • If the ambient light sensor will not easily come out, slightly lift the frame with a plastic opening tool to allow it to come free.

    • Use the flat end of a spudger to lever the frame away from the display assembly until you can grab it with your hand.

    • Lift near the retaining tabs marked by red rectangles in the first picture.

    • Remove the frame from the display assembly.

    • While removing the frame there may be sticky residue that will generate some resistance to the detachment of the top half of the frame.

    I would have referred to the end with the USB Port and power button as the bottom end not the top.

    • Remove the four 2.4 mm Phillips #00 screws attaching the LCD to the front glass panel.

    • Rotate the top of the LCD 90 degrees away from the front glass panel as shown in the second picture.

    • Rotate the LCD and front glass panel slowly so you don't damage the antenna on the bottom of the LCD.

    • Separate the LCD and front glass panel.

    Separate the front glass panel can be tricky, it's glue to the frame. Mine was cracked pretty badly so I won't come out in one neat little piece. Just patiently peel off the screen slowly.

    David Alvarez - Replica

    I attempted to separate the glass from the black screen/digitizer (LCD) and it was all glued. Kept heating the area probably 30 times. My glass has been cracked throughout and it was impossible to peel it off without damaging the screen/digitizer. Now the Kindle Fire HD is trash. I don't intend to spend nearly $100 for a replacement LCD, especially after I have already purchased a replacement front glass.

    Ron Tittle - Replica

    Go on ebay I ordered my LCD there and it was 22.00 I replaced the clear digitized (22.00 also). If you still do not want to mess with it, list it for parts and take pictures and post and it will sell trust me.

    Cynthia -

    FYI you may want to change the bit size to a PH000 for the PH00 is a bit to big and you may risk the chance of damaging the screw and you may never get it out then! just a heads up for you guys!!

Is the LCD the same thing as the digitizer? My touch screen is really glitchy and I did a hard reset and a factory reset and I’m still having trouble. I’m trying to decide what I need to replace?

Jesse McCallister - Replica

No, the digitizer is the glass itself. The only thing the lcd does is display things.
