Introduction
This guide will show how to remove the battery from the Kindle Fire HD 6. You'll often need to remove the battery just to access and remove the motherboard. You might also need to remove the battery if it's damaged and needs to be replaced.

Thank you it worked for me.
A bit nervous breaking it down, once I got the back plate off it was very simple, unplugged the battery, reconnected put it back together fired it up , great advice.
Thanks again

The battery removal step did not sufficiently warn about how hard the adhesive used for the battery was, and using the spudger ended up piercing the battery when I tried to pry the battery off.
