    • Start by removing the plastic cover to the speakers and webcam. I used a couple of spudgers, but you can also see the exploded version from the product video still I included, as well. Take your time, this is probably the most patient part of the whole repair.

    • I'm not positive, but I think these were T5 screw sizes. Keep them in order.

    There are two clear clips in this picture, just inboard of the speakers. You’ll need to push down on those to release the screen for the next step.

    • You can see the two ribbon cables that keep the display and controls connected on the bottom of the frame. I've already peeled back the battery connector for this shot, sorry for not giving you an in-progress shot, but it's pretty obvious.

    • You can see how much my screen was bulging in the second photo. This is the dangerous part

    I had trouble getting the screen off its “hinge” until I stood the device up vertically. It might help if you’re having trouble.

  4. Kindle Tablet HDX 8.9 (third generation) Internal Battery Replacement, Disconnect the battery: 手順 4、 1の画像 1
    • The connector is hidden under some tape, shown peeled back here. After the risk of the screen shattering, I'd say this is the most dangerous part for this repair. You're peeling off sealed batteries and physically manipulating them. Use Caution

    • Use the spudger to lift the battery connector out of it's port. The less torque you use, the better (so don't go twisting and prying)

    does the battery connector press in or plug in…? also my kindle had none of those pieces of tape over the ribbons that connect to the4 display. I also lost the tiny piece that hold the ribbon to the connector .. not the white part but the little flip part.

    • Remove the two ribbon cables

    • Both cable connections are covered in Kapton tape (the yellow electronics friendly tape you see inside many devices), peel it off carefully, since we're just gonna re-use it upon reassembly.

    now I have to google capton tape…

    • These are both ZIF connectors, meaning they use a friction flap to hold them in place. Carefully lift the flap, and disconnect the ribbon cabling for both cables.

    • I wish I had better words here, but this battery is glued in there solid .

    • Be careful it can explode or catch fire. Use common sense and good precaution.

    • The second photo here shows the battery after I spent probably 4 minutes slowly prying it away from the glue.

    You should discharge the battery as much as possible before trying to remove it. The glue ended up being stronger than the battery for me, but fortunately there are two layers of foil, so I was able to carefully remove the battery without piercing it too badly. If it smells sweet, that’s a pierced battery. Work in a well-ventilated area (i.e. outside) with a metal bucket and sand nearby.

    Alcohol will dissolve the glue and using a playing card will allow you to work your way under. Avoid the cables.

  8. Kindle Tablet HDX 8.9 (third generation) Internal Battery Replacement, Install the new battery: 手順 8、 1の画像 1
    • I ordered my OEM replacement on eBay for about $34. I'm re-placing the tape mentioned earlier in this guide, in this shot.

  9. Kindle Tablet HDX 8.9 (third generation) Internal Battery Replacement, Reconnect the screen: 手順 9、 2の画像 1 Kindle Tablet HDX 8.9 (third generation) Internal Battery Replacement, Reconnect the screen: 手順 9、 2の画像 2
    • Reconnect the two ribbon connections, previously removed.

    • Bottom edge slides in first (no, this isn't a shot of my smoke detector, you can see the bottom teeth of the screen along the edge)

    • When I re-assembled, I got a black screen, which turned out to be an improperly seated right ribbon connection. Take your time and check your connections.

  10. Kindle Tablet HDX 8.9 (third generation) Internal Battery Replacement, Check your work: 手順 10、 1の画像 1
    • Once you have both ribbon cables re-seated and the Capton tape re-installed, reconnect the battery.

    • I like to check that connections are working before sealing everything back up (re-install the screws, re-attach the plastic screw cover, to finish).

終わりに

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

Thanks for this guide it was a great help! The screws are T4. I used a plastic 2 1/2 inch putty knife to help pry the old battery off the case without rupturing it. Got the replacement battery from ebay for < $20.

Every thing seems to be working. Can't seem to keep screen on for over a minute. The screen won't let me swipe to left. What did I do wrong. Thanks pete432044@yahoo.com

OK up to getting battery unstuck and then disaster - absolutely unable to break the glue seal. Tore wrapper on battery pouch so total loss. Definitely took way more than 20 minutes to get to that point. Difficulty is a lot more than ‘moderate’. I don’t recommend anyone try this. If you do try it (after all - it is not useable with a bad battery), I suggest you do it BEFORE you buy the new battery. FYI the screws are T5 but the lousy tool in the battery kit was totally inadequate to the task - I had to buy a good tool from Home Depot. Danger when mucking with battery is high - I just can not recommend this for the average DIY’er at all.

I would say the difficulty level is easy. The only hard part is getting the battery out and even that's not hard, you just have to rip it out. Of course make sure it's completely drain first and definitely wear safety glasses.

Is the battery still dangerous on rupture even if it has been discharged for months?

Jayesh Limaye - 返信

Yes, lithium ion batteries remain chemically active even when discharged, if you puncture them they can start a fire or explode. Treat them with appropriate caution.

Steve C -

If the battery is drained it is not dangerous as far as igniting. Check with a volt meter to be sure.

Robb S - 返信

I would like to mention that removing the screen is optional. It does not need to be disconnected and removed in order to change the battery. Once the screen is flipped open place a towel underneath of it to support it and you will be fine. There's no easy way to get the batteries out, you're just going to have to rip them out. Make sure the device is completely drained first. Pretty simple job. Wear safety glasses just to be safe.
