Amazon Fire HD 8 Screen Replacement

Step 1 Screen



• Heat the edges of the screen with a heat gun on the lowest setting by using sweeping motions from about 8-10 inches away.
• Make sure you use sweeping motions with the heat gun, instead of hovering over one area.
Step 2

• After 1-2 minutes, use a plastic opening tool to pry the screen loose. Start at the top right corner and gently pry the screen from the device.
• Be careful not to bend the screen by pushing it too far from the rest of the device.
Step 3
• Slide a plastic opening tool and spudger along the underside of the screen using enough force to peel the screen and the adhesive strip from the other half of the device.
• Be mindful of the orange cable connecting the screen to the mid-bottom of the device.
Step 4
• To remove the screen from the device, use tweezers to gently pull the orange cable from its connection to the screen.
