    • Use the plastic opening tool to undo the ten plastic clips around the back panel of the Kindle.

    Wear work gloves as the tool can easily slip and stab you in the hand.

    • Gently lift the bottom and slide the panel off.

    There are four tabs on each side.The two nearest the top are open at the top, hence they slide out (back towards the power connector end.

    This is important in the reassembly stage:

    1. Align the back cover about 0.75 cm away from the top

    2. Hold the top half of the cover flat against the unit, and flex the cover away from the case a little at the bottom

    3. Slide the top and the first two clips parallel to the case

    4. snap the remaining bottom clips in place
