Step 1

Insert the plastic prying tool into the seam of the Kindle. Check the tool to be sure the small arrow on the prying tool is pointed toward the backside of the Kindle.Typically its easiest to lay the device with the back facing up (take care to be sure the screen will not be damaged or scratched on the surface you use) as shown below which would have the arrow visible to you as its inserted.
Once correctly inserted, gently pry the tool all around the perimeter of the Kindle. This will separate the clips that secure the back cover to the body.
Separate and remove the back from the Kindle Fire HD.

Step 2

Working with the back portion of the Kindle Fire HD:

Locate and remove the four (4) Phillips screws using the small Phillips #00 Screwdriver.
Locate and remove the one (1) T5 torx Screw using the T5 torx screwdriver.
Place the 5 screws in a safe area.

Step 3

There is a small black (antenna) wire that runs the length of the metal battery casing. Using the pry tool carefully pry the plug‘s connection piece up and remove the wire out of the channel. (pictured above)
Next, separate the black antenna wire from the battery.You will need to remove the tape from the metal casing to do this. When you remove the tape from the battery casing keep it in tact so you can re-adhere.
