Where are the rest of the instructions???? I now have a disassembled Kindle and no idea how to install the new screen!
At the end of every iFixit guide, next to the "I did it! Success!" button, there is a message that says "To reassemble your kindle, follow these steps in reverse order." However in some cases, there will be a slightly different message. In the case of this guide, the message says "To reassemble your kindle, follow these steps in reverse order. Just make sure that you successfully connect the two flex cables to each half of your kindle and that you then align the two halves on the side opposite the camera before reassembling it."
while you are at it, try replacing the battery for a better experience.
I did, checkout this battery for kindle here :
