How to Replace a Kindle Keyboard Battery
Using a plastic pry tool, insert it in between the edge of the back cover and the Kindle frame to remove the back cover.
Do not pry on the page turn keys, or you will damage them. Do not Insert the pry tool too far, or you could damage the flex cables.
Once you have loosened enough of the back cover, use your fingers to pry the cover loose. You might have to apply a bit of pressure, but the back is stronger than you would think.
Using a Phillips #00 screwdriver remove the 2 screws securing the battery.
Then lift up on the battery to remove it. There will be two washers beneath the battery by the screw holes. Make sure they are still there when you install the new battery.
To install the new battery, insert the bottom of it first, and then put the battery in place.
When reinstalling the back cover to reassemble the Kindle, insert the bottom first and then press it in along the sides and top.
That’s it. Your Kindle should be ready to go. If for some reason it doesn’t work, try doing a hard reset by pressing the power button for forty seconds. That often fixes any problems it might have.
