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.

I Have A Amazon fire he 8
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 did everything...tested it worked. I put thr cover back on and it stopped working. I took off the back again, it worked... not with cover
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!
Safety glasses would be advisable
IM Watching the vid with a broken tablet
Amazon fire hd is the dumbest made I've ever seen
Ty bro help me lots
oh my gosh no way!!!
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.
Does anyone know what the chip is at the top @15:42 ?
Couldn't have gotten through the replacement without your video -- thank you so much!!
Glad to hear it helped you!
4663… got it lol! Jus playin! Thanks for the vid!
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!!
I gotta get new touch screen cuz my is already cracked cuz I break it cuz I lost my temper and that happened to me
He spit on it!
How porked am I if I did not disconnect the battery? Now the tablet won't even turn on with the new digitizer, when it did so before!!
Hi. I have tablet amazon faire 7. It works but the screen is black. I think it is damaged and I need to replace it. I searched a lot for a screen for him but never found. Can you help me with that? Thanks
Hey can I use a hair dryer as a heat gun alternative?
You are quite skilled with your hands -- dexterous.
Perfect instructions. Replaced my 2016 Kindle HD8 digitizer (glass touch screen) exactly as the video directs and works perfectly. Whole repair took 3-1/2 hours
Couldnt have been like the video... Video was only 26 minutes LOL
Big help. Thanks. Not quite the one I have but close enough.
well done. Thanks for using pointers, proper tools and good diction. I suggest latex gloves and no blowing on your dust free screen, airborne droplets. Thanks a million.
Try use glue not double sided tape, with my experience in iPads and tablets the screen starts to pull away
Bro, you are Matthew Mcconaughey's voice twin.....
🤣🤣 that’s a first for me man!
I have the same one like that
That kid driving was clearly impaired. Watch out for the Kindergarten Cops. P.S. good video.
fishing line will b a good one
Why Even Replace The Screen Its Not Worth It You Can Get A Brand New One For 150 dollars
Can you replace the screen and the back plastic on my fire tablet?
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.
Does it have to be that type of tape? Or can it be any other type of strong double side thin double sided tape I have 2mm extra strength double sided tape from hobby lobby Does it have to be the type for electronics? I just don’t want to use the wrong kind and the other tape (no electric approved) like damages it cause of ingredients in it
I'm just watching this video to see how big how big is a tablet's battery cuz I always wonder how big is this tablet's battery but I actually lost my Amazon fire 8 the ones your name is Amazon fire HD 8 we tried looking everywhere around the house and Ashley this one my kids tablet and you're looking everywhere but couldn't find and then my kid have to know like getting Amazon fire 8 this time I mean I was on fire 7 and Santa got it for my kid

Poor guy he has 83,666 views but only 255 subs
More content would help, no doubt.
I could probably replace screen myself or just finish smashing tablet with a rock and Go ride My bike instead.. lol.. or fix it hmmm
Smash it with the bike 👍🏼
@@peteywhit thanks For youtube Vid i Fixed it Sunday pulled broken screen hacked a lil bit, got New Glass on pretty Cool saved $60 Bones.. On fire 8' tablet
That’s good to hear, glad it helped.
Nice job on this video, thanks!
MY to replace a cracked Amazon Fire tablet! 1: throw it away! 2: buy a REAL tablet, like an Apple iPad or Microsoft Surface!! Something with POWER!!! 😉
Lol, I have an iPad Pro. These are for my kids since they obviously mistreat them.
Mine is just stuck on the fire Kindle screen even after I charge it fully it just won’t come off the start up kindle screen 😑😕😕😕😕
first tool was useless. got chewed up half way through 1st step.
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.
It worked like a champ following your instruction. The only thing I did different was I couldn't save the foam sticky so I cut duck tape into thin strips and did two layers instead. Thank You!
great vid thank you thats saved me a few bucks
Glad to hear it Keith! 👍🏼
