How to: Screen Replacement - Amazon Fire HD 8 (6th Gen)
Don't forget to comment, like and subscribe!
In this video, I demonstrate how to replace an Amazon Fire HD 8 (6th Generation) screen.
Tools used in the video:
Heat Gun - amzn.to/2MvX0ct
Tweezers and Pry Tools - amzn.to/2WfFiOZ
Parts used in the video:
Digitizer - ebay.to/2FOYL3W
Double Sided Tape - amzn.to/2FP3UZO
Amazon Fire HD 8 (Latest Model) - amzn.to/2FYmSxb
Update: The original adhesive could not be reused, so I opted for the double sided tape. If using this double sided tape again, I would double it up. It's very thin and might not adhere in some places.

    You’re super dad. I’ve bought my kid 3 more of these tablets, but he only wants to use the fire hd 8 from 2018. The screen repair place said to buy him a new one, and that he couldn’t do the replacement. I’m ready to give this a try. Hope you’re well, you only have one video lol kids keep you busy and yours probably have iPhones and teen lives by now. Thank you for sharing. ❤

    I was worried about replacing my high-end older oasis with this one ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxCgPI5O2AtmcHq9SJhgsCGbpAzJAJfrJp but it is surprisingly light and the screen resolution is just as good. I never had the warm light on my old kindle, but i do not use it on the ipad so I will probably not need it. I think the only thing I'll miss is the self-adjusting light, but this is so worth it!

    ours looks like this except the chip for the touch screen wont go through the slot that the old one came out of. Managed to break it off when i tried to get it through. The new chip is a titchy bit thicker and although the actual shape of the tab is the same, the chip being bigger and thicker meant it wouldnt go through however careful i was. No loss really as we found the tablet thrown away but oh well. Very good guide for getting the old screen off.

    do you have any references (UA-cam?) for replacing the display (digitizer OK)? My digitizer works fine (touch) but the LCD is broken and does not work (parts of screen black, rest of image comes and goes). Thanks.

    I followed the video, bought a screen replacement for my Fire HD 8, and got through the whole process in about 90 minutes. The cheap plastic spudger broke part way through, but I had others. I did manage to tear the orange cover slightly at one corner, but it's in a case -- who cares? I also didn't remove all the adhesive as shown, just the large globs. Had a hair dryer, swept the corners and edges as I went along using the "high" setting. Worked well enough. Pulling off the screen connection to the MB was hard, and the adhesive bonding that to the alum frame was even harder, so I used needle nose pliers and got it off. That part is replaced anyway, so I wasn't worried about damage. The replacement unit had 3M 2 sided tape already in place all the way around; I used a razor blade knife edge to pull up on the paper strips before removing. Tested the unit before putting the orange cover back on, no issues. Did minor cleaning using the seller provided eyeglass style cloth wipe. Wife is very happy with her "new" device (she's the one that dropped the Kindle and cracked the glass). All is well. Thanks for your video!!

      Aaand my volume button just fell off. Wah-wah. Someone asked if these are indestructible. Absolutely not. I dropped my 8 on a tile floor and It looks like It was attacked by hungry wolves. Has anyone given up on Kindle Fire and bought a different tablet? Not iPad, I'm definitely an Android girl.

    • @peteywhit
      @peteywhit 4 роки тому

      Hey Aaron, sorry to hear that. Yeah, most of the tools in any of the kits used for separating screens aren’t the best. If it’s a one time thing, or a couple, mine usually hold up. However if it’s something you would plan on doing many times over, then a better quality tool would come in handy. It’s just that for the price, these tools will usually get the job done.
