Please please tell me what the silver part the tape is covering called, or what it is. I tried everything and my kindle does not turn on but for some reason that little part the tape is covering get heats up and gets hot everytime I try to charge it, which doesnt show the screen..at all. Its like my kindle is on or something, the screen just doesnt show :( but please if you or anyone knows what that is, please tell me. Id really appreciate it.
You say you're using a pentalobe driver for that last screw. Pentalobe is for Apple devices. You should have used a torx driver although the pentalobe may have worked.
Am I the only one who sees what appears to be the original battery being reinstalled?? (See the original foil covering the WiFi cable) Doesn't affect the procedure, but it does suggest taking license with video editing....
Thank you my did this for about a week

Replaceable batteries where you just pop it in would have been better design.

Jerry Sprat it's actually a battery taken from a different Kindle with the parts attached ( a battery swap if you will)
Cannot see because your hands are in the way!
Much of the video was out of shot.
Poorly designed to repair imo
