Kindle Fire HD Repairability: 7 out of 10 (10 is easiest to repair)

The rear case is very easy to open, granting trouble-free access to the internals.

The battery is held in with absolutely no adhesive.

Simplistic design and limited functionality means fewer components and less headache for disassembly.

Mostly all screws found inside are Phillips #00 screws—except for one T5 Torx screw.

Copper tape over the processor is somewhat difficult to remove and to readhere correctly.

The LCD is fused to the front glass and plastic frame, meaning you'll have to replace both components together.
