    • Lift the cover with a plastic card and carefully pull it off.

    • Tip: The glue is very strong, so I recommend helping things along with the plastic card.

    • If you remove the cover slowly and don't stick the plastic card in too far, you might be able to re-use the strip of glue.

    • This Kindle has water damage which corroded the display cable.

    • I think changing the display is not possible because it is glued to the mainboard, possibly even soldered. I won't try replacing it because I only need to clean the display connector.
