The separation of the screen process would be the same, but from what I've seen, the ribbon cable is in a different location (top instead of bottom). I'm not sure if there is anything else that would be different.

@@SuperMetallica91 I came here for same reason, but with tools and digitizer costs added up, it was actually cheaper to buy new one on Amazon. A week ago, they were only 79 to purchase new. Keep watching for sales.

You’re super dad. I’ve bought my kid 3 more of these tablets, but he only wants to use the fire hd 8 from 2018. The screen repair place said to buy him a new one, and that he couldn’t do the replacement. I’m ready to give this a try. Hope you’re well, you only have one video lol kids keep you busy and yours probably have iPhones and teen lives by now. Thank you for sharing. ❤

Hey, just want to say thank you so much! I bought a repair kit off of Amazon, which did not come with instructions. I followed your video and my tablet is good as new. I actually bought a new one on Black Friday, but my Mom is really interested in having one, so I'm going to gift her my newly repaired one. Thanks again, you're doing a great service!

It worked like a champ following your instruction. The only thing I did different was I couldn't save the foam sticky so I cut duck tape into thin strips and did two layers instead. Thank You!

Thanks for your help. Opened up and all that had happened was my screen ribbon connector had come loose. Fixed in seconds. Cheers!!

Thanks for the very well-done and clear video. My gf dropped her Fire tablet and was very upset when the sign-in screen became unresponsive (screen was not cracked.) After opening up the case, I had no clue at what to do next but I did notice the digitizer cable was not connected. Your video showed me how it was supposed to be attached and how to unhook the battery. Tested it, now it works again and put it back together. My gf thanked me like a half-dozen times. Thank YOU!

Big help. Thanks. Not quite the one I have but close enough.

Thank you sir. Helped me a lot.

I followed the video, bought a screen replacement for my Fire HD 8, and got through the whole process in about 90 minutes. The cheap plastic spudger broke part way through, but I had others. I did manage to tear the orange cover slightly at one corner, but it's in a case -- who cares? I also didn't remove all the adhesive as shown, just the large globs. Had a hair dryer, swept the corners and edges as I went along using the "high" setting. Worked well enough. Pulling off the screen connection to the MB was hard, and the adhesive bonding that to the alum frame was even harder, so I used needle nose pliers and got it off. That part is replaced anyway, so I wasn't worried about damage. The replacement unit had 3M 2 sided tape already in place all the way around; I used a razor blade knife edge to pull up on the paper strips before removing. Tested the unit before putting the orange cover back on, no issues. Did minor cleaning using the seller provided eyeglass style cloth wipe. Wife is very happy with her "new" device (she's the one that dropped the Kindle and cracked the glass). All is well. Thanks for your video!!

Good lookin’ out. Just replaced my daughters Kindle digitizer using your guide. Worked out great. Thank you sir.

I hate those black clamps too. They have the smallest ribbon wire with one of those on the original PSP and it can be a huge hassle of your changing the casing on one of those.

Does it work with all those colourful bars on the tablet screen ?

Absolutely the best video and thanks for the tool links. Your easy to follow detailed instructions are exactly what I look for when coming here for help. One question...is the double sided tape needed? You used it then removed it on the video so I'm unsure if I should use the small size or get a bigger sized tape.

@peteywhit

Hey Jackie, the double sided tape helps keep the glass against the housing. If no tape is use, it will more than likely pop out if the tablet is handled roughly. When you see me pulling the white part of the tape off, this is just the backing. The tape itself is still stuck on the housing. Hope this clears things up.

I opened it up thinking it would be an easy Fire 7 HD fix for the charging port replacement with a ribbon cable like the vids i saw til I saw the insides... UGH This is the exact model I own! I have searched for instructions on how to replace but can't find any for this model. Can you maybe do another vid for this model on that topic or point me to one that does? TIA

I used to be a LCD tech. be more careful with the LCD screen, no Windex, no wiping all around, it is a soft plastic with tiny grooves in it. It is EASY TO SCRATCH. to clean, use a new optical wipe (they are usuall only found in large packages and fairly expensive. They are often called "clean room wipes", "unwoven wipes" or "woven wipes". If I had to do it at home I would try a brand new unopened handi wipe), folded into a rectangle about 4inch by 2inch, wet one side of the wipe with isopropyl alcohol (I use a spray bottle). hold it with four fingers on the upper side and thumb underneath. put it on the screen and and move it in x and y directions to see which way you can wipe it the easiest, stick with that direction. put the wipe down at the far edge, pull it towards you rolling up a new surface as you go. Take about one second per inch, too fast may not clean, too slow may leave a wet spot that you will have to reclean. If the wipe wasn't wide enough for the whole screen, espose a different surface of the wipe, wet it and wipe it. Turn the LCD around, fold the wipe to expose another surface, and wipe from the other side. You should be done. Don't ever reuse that wipe for an LCD again, any particles you pick up can scratch the screen.

That kid driving was clearly impaired. Watch out for the Kindergarten Cops. P.S. good video.

The new chip is a titchy bit thicker and although the actual shape of the tab is the same, the chip being bigger and thicker meant it wouldnt go through however careful i was. No loss really as we found the tablet thrown away but oh well. Very good guide for getting the old screen off.

Struggling a bit, I hope you might be able to help-- The ribbon connecter at 4:02 is refusing to come out, and I don't want to pull too hard out of fear that I might ruin the ribbon. I will note that the tab doesn't go all the way up-- there's like .05 mm of space between the translucent and opaque parts, and I'm assuming that's some kind of adhesive. Would it be wise to use the spudger to force that part up, or no? I have never been faced with such a ridiculous mechanism in my life.

@peteywhit

5 жыл бұрын

So first thing, make sure you pry the black opaque tab upwards. This is what actually puts tension on the pins in the connector to make a good connection to the ribbon cable. Second, the part where I use the spudger on the tab that is glued to the ribbon cable, I'm not actually prying up. I slide the spudger underneath and then use my finger to put pressure against the spudger to basically squeeze the tab, so that I can pull it. It should stay connected to the ribbon cable. It might help to wrap some tissue or a screen cloth to both arms of a pair of tweezers, then carefully grab this tab and pull straight back. I hope this helps.

@peteywhit

5 жыл бұрын

There are a couple of reasons to remove the existing factory adhesive, but not always required. If there is glass left behind from the broken screen and you can't get it off without removing the adhesive, or if most of the adhesive pulls away with the screen, you might as well pull it all off so you start with a bare level base and the screen will have the same adhesion all the way around when you add new tape. It won't give you high spots due to tape thickness differences. If there is no reason to remove the adhesive, then by all means I would reuse it.
