desertcart.com: desertcart Kindle Fire Touch Screen Digitizer Repair Part Replacement : Cell Phones & Accessories

Review: Worked perfectly. Replacement takes skills. Just bought another to have as a future spare. - My original Kindle Fire (non-HD) was run over repeatedly after it fell out of my motorcycle's saddlebag. Amazingly, only the glass itself was damaged. This part from desertcart fixed the problem perfectly. I followed a Youtube video for disassembly (the video didn't include any footage for reassembly, unfortunately). The process requires a very steady hand, a clean place to work, excellent vision (or a magnifying lens), and a variety of inexpensive tools (extremely tiny Phillips screwdriver, for instance). I have a lifetime's experience of electromechanical assembly and troubleshooting and I would have to say it gave me a pretty good workout. Take some pics during the disassembly, to ensure you put things back EXACTLY as they were...it's tight in there and stuff only fits properly if it's oriented exactly the way it was upon original assembly. You don't want to crimp or pinch any of those interconnect cables. Note their routing EXACTLY before you remove them. For all those who are saying this is Chinese junk and their Kindles didn't work properly upon reassembly, I would guarantee that in the vast majority of cases, YOU screwed it up, not the product. I'm sure that the original part came from China to begin with, so that's a wash. What, you think Kindles are manufactured and assembled in Detroit? Problems like random characters appearing when you're not touching the screen or no response from keyboard inputs are almost certainly caused by improper connection of one of those tiny and fragile interconnect cables you took apart, or you dicked something up on one of the PCB's while you were prying the case apart. I saw one guy's comments bitching about how he cut his finger trying to get the glass installed....okay, moron, you're playing with GLASS here. The only reason anyone would go through this procedure is because they broke the glass on their Kindle, which means you're going to be removing razor-sharp shards of glass as part of this process. Blood flow is likely. Try not to get any on the inside of the new glass or you'll be stuck with that when you get it back together. Another guy mentioned that this product does not include the frame, and THIS IS TRUE. You'll need to peel and pry those razor-sharp shards of glass out of the extremely sticky doublesided tape that holds them to the old frame, and make sure you do it well because the new glass won't seat properly if you don't. The new glass comes with new tape already attached, so make sure you get the old tape off as well. I tried a variety of solvents, including acetone, to try and dissolve that tape but nothing worked other than good old elbow grease and time. There's another product here on desertcart which contains the glass AND the frame, and that would certainly save you a lot of trouble..but it costs more than double what this glass costs (it's an additional $30 at the time of this comment) so you have to figure what that's worth to you. Removing the broken glass and reusing the old frame isn't terribly difficult, just tedius (and if you're a hemophiliac, possibly dangerous). Me, I just purchased another of this product today, because it worked so well and I figure, like everything else, its availability will go away sometime in the future, just when I need it again. For under $20, I'll happily throw it in the closet until I'm unlucky enough to damage my Kindle in the future. For the record, my Kindle is my constant companion. It's wrapped in a leather cover but it still takes a heck of a beating. I carry in tucked into the back of my waistband as I walk around our facility all day. It bounces around in my motorcycle and bicycle saddlebags. It gets dropped with fair regularity. Since I replaced the glass several months ago, it's never turned a whisker. Good as new (better actually, since it's rooted...)
Review: Did not fit right! - This replacement screen was too small. It did not fit properly. I installed everything correctly, but the screen did not fit all sides. Too small

### ⭐ Did not fit right!

This replacement screen was too small. It did not fit properly. I installed everything correctly, but the screen did not fit all sides. Too small

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect replacement for 1st generation Kindle Fire
*by R***S on January 21, 2014*

Got this to replace the screen after a face-down drop onto a hard floor that the cracked the screen. After the fall, display still work (important! If the display is damaged, it's a seperate piece from the touch screen). Screen was "plug and play", it has the adhesive tape already installed for a complete repair, so don't think you have to purchase tape seperately. Youtube videos will show you how to take your Kindle apart for this replacement. I would suggest, as I did, to follow the youtube video that show a complete disassembly to the point where the screen is seperated from display before attempting to remove the glass from the bevel (Easily removed with heat from a hairdryer). This is a total disassembly, you will have the back, the battery, the CPU board, the display, the speaker module, and the internal frame all seperated if you follow this. It only takes about 10-15 screws and is not difficult. I did this instead of following a video showing the glass and bevel being seperated after the back was removed, leaving all the internal components together during the replacement. The risk doing it that way is the display could be damaged while you are removing the glass from the bevel. Screws are very small and appear the same, but pay attention when you are taking them out! They are all the screw thread size, but two lengths (longer screw use to secure the frame) and wide and narrow heads (narrow heads for CPU board, speaker module, wide heads for display and screen to CPU connector). Don't panic, it's really not that hard.
