Heat the edges of the screen with a heat gun on the lowest setting by using sweeping motions from about 8-10 inches away.
Make sure you use sweeping motions with the heat gun, instead of hovering over one area.

After following these instructions and replacing the battery, all works but the screen. We have sound, volume etc..but no screen.

Any ideas what may be wrong?

Make sure the ribbon cable is plugged in.

I got a recent Fire HD 8 in the uk. This isn’t correct for that version. The rear case just unclips with a tool down the side of the case - much simpler. You definitely don’t want to be trying the above method on my version!

Thanks for the help. Dave B

PS. The battery change was a success, but the patient is still ill. The start-up still screen loops over and over, and hard reset does not work. Any ideas? Dave B
