    • Peel the front panel off to remove it from the Kindle.

    • Similar to the previous step, flip up the retaining flap on the white cable connector.

    • Pull the white cable from the connection.

    • During reassembly, make sure the retaining flaps for both the white and copper colored cable connections are secured. As these are zero insertion force connections, the cables could potentially slide out if this is not done.

This doesn’t look like my 7th generation. Close but not quite the same. Does the motherboard have to be removed to replace the screen?

Shonna Partlow - Antwort

Anyone know where to buy parts? I’m struggling to find any

Adrianne - Antwort

yes this is Def not the same as my 7th gen but it's an 8 inch so maybe that's the difference.. all I see is 4 screws holding down the motherboard n I've removed them but still can't get the board loose.. it's like one side of it is held down under these plastic tabs that don't move..
