The Amazon Fire 8 HD 12th Generation has a screen that is useable for near every function necessary on the tablet. To put it lightly, you cannot use the tablet at all without a functioning screen. Possible things that can lead to a broken screen range from cracking/breaking the screen itself, your tablet not being up to date, or the screen is not responding to your input/touch.
In this guide we will show you how to replace a faulty screen. This guide is difficult so please take your time and be patient when performing the steps. You may want to have a pair of safety gloves. These can be used throughout the guide as there are dangers such as loose or broken glass cutting you.
