Description: Use this guide to replace the back cover on...

Steps:

1. Drain your eReader's battery as much as possible before starting your repair. Ideally, it should be fully discharged.
2. Optionally, to drain the battery faster, navigate to More → Settings → Energy saving and privacy and set Automatically go to sleep after and Automatically power off after to Never.
3. When working on or near the battery, don't use sharp metal tools to avoid puncturing and shorting the battery.
4. Unplug all cables and fully shut down your eReader.
5. Your screen should be black and say Powered off.

6. Lay your eReader down so the back cover is facing up.
7. Insert the flat edge of an opening pick between the frame and the bottom left corner of the back cover.
8. Push the pick downwards at a slight angle until it slides under the back cover.

9. Slide the pick toward the bottom right corner to release the clips along the bottom edge.

10. Remove the pick and reinsert it under the bottom left corner.
11. Angle the pick flat under the back cover and rotate it around the bottom left corner to release its clips.
12. If you're having trouble, try twisting the pick to lift the corner clips out of their slots.

13. Slide the pick toward the top left corner to release the clips along the left edge.

14. At this point, you should be able to grip the back cover and release its remaining clips. If not, slide a pick under the perimeter of the back cover until you can grip an edge.
15. Grip the left edge of the back cover and lift it away from the eReader to release the remaining clips.
16. Remove the back cover.
17. During reassembly, align the back cover over the eReader and press along the perimeter until all its clips snap back into place.
