Step 1

              Remove front screen assembly

Ensure that your device is turned off.
Remove any micro-SD card that may be installed in the Fire. Failure to do so could damage the micro-SD card itself or the micro-SD card reader on the Fire.
Holding the Fire firmly, wedge a plastic opening tool into the crease on the edge of the device.
Slowly work the plastic opening tool around the device until the entire back cover releases from the front of the device.

Step 2

Using angled ESD precision tweezers, lift up on the battery cables to separate the battery connector from its socket.
Be sure to lift the battery connector cables themselves and not the actual socket. Doing this step incorrectly could damage the connector.

Step 3

Carefully and slowly work a large plastic opening tool along the edge of the battery pack. Angle the tool to pry it up.
When you have successfully lifted the battery pack up on one side or corner, carefully wedge the opening tool under the pack about 1/2" and work around the rest of the sides.
Be careful not to bend the battery. Don’t use too much force, as it can damage the battery.

Update: I had to do two of these, and it didn’t take me any longer than 10 minutes for either one of them. Easy peasy, thanks for the clear and concise guide.
