After following these instructions and replacing the battery, all works but the screen. We have sound, volume etc..but no screen.

Any ideas what may be wrong?

Make sure the ribbon cable is plugged in.

I got a recent Fire HD 8 in the uk. This isn’t correct for that version. The rear case just unclips with a tool down the side of the case - much simpler. You definitely don’t want to be trying the above method on my version!

A further comment about the two connections for first timers would be helpful. The battery cable connection comes straight up and reconnects nested directly straight top down into the female socket. Unfamiliar with small thin video screen cables especially in teh1 to 2 inch working space, I could not understand why the cable would not ‘Plug” in. Eventually I realized that it was a clamp type connection and that the clamp was closed. After I flipped it open, I was able to hold the ribbon in position and flip the clamp closed. I’m glad for the experience, otherwise it would not have seem such an accomplishment for such a simple connection. Do you have a primer that describes these basic procedures? Also, how do you “follow the step in reverse order” with respect to the glue strips, and what is the record measurement for the length you can pull these strips? I got to at least 9” before it let go.

Thanks for the help. Dave B

PS. The battery change was a success, but the patient is still ill. The start-up still screen loops over and over, and hard reset does not work. Any ideas? Dave B
