Which direction are you placing the prying tool to release the clips; to open it up? With the prying tip facing up to release clips and then use to lift the back up as you move along the edges or face prying tip down to release clips which will then release the back to lift?

Also, using a black case, it’s hard to tell in the pic where exactly these clips are? Can you mark them on a photo?

Thank you! What seems to be an easy task is proving to be a struggle for my 4th Gen 7HD.

I have just replaced the battery in my wife’s Kindle and the clips did not want to let go. I had to warn the back of the case with a hair dryer to get it to flex. The battery was well stuck down and needed a metal pry tool to release it.

Replacing this battery looks very doable thanks to these instructions. But I was wondering what the risk is to damaging the LCD in the process? Thanks!

Thanks for the information, but is there any risk of electric shock?
