Introduction

iFixit Opening Tool

Step 1

Power off your Kindle before beginning disassembly.
At each corner, use the blue plastic opening tool to unhook and separate the front panel from the adhesive.
Run the tool along the seams to pry open the front panel.

i had a battery that wouldn't even last a full day in the end. by accident i let the battery fall below 10% charge and when turned on it only showed the battery icon. I fully charged it and now i am having no problems with it. what i think happened is it reset the batteries memory and that was the problem. worth trying anyway before buying a new battery.

I have no idea if my kindle is off. Holding in the button for a minute does nothing.

Step 2

Peel the front panel off to remove it from the Kindle.
If this is the first time the front panel has been removed, the adhesive may require a significant amount of force to undo.
To prevent damaging the front panel, peel the panel from the corners towards the middle of the Kindle.
When reassembling your device, if you are replacing the front panel, additional adhesive may be required.
