This step is completely unnecessary. The cords don't get in the way of the rest of the procedure. Feel free to disregard this step.

The battery connector is located in the upper left corner of the Amazon Fire battery pack.
To disconnect the battery connector, use angled ESD precision tweezers to lift the cables up and out of their socket.
Make sure you pull the battery connector cables themselves out and not the actual socket. Doing this step incorrectly could result in breaking the connector entirely.

Pull black tab at connector upwards first, then flex cable can be pulled easily.

YES. This detail right here NEEDS to be put in the main section. I did not see these comments until after finishing the job. I went to youtube to watch other videos to find out about the release action.

The LCD Digitizer on the Amazon Fire tablet has a locking cable connector that holds it in place on the motherboard.
To remove the cable, use the iFixit Opening Tool to unlock the LCD Digitizer cable connector.
Once the wire connector is removed, use the iFixit Opening Tool to pry the entire LCD Digitizer away from the motherboard.
Remove any tape that may be covering the connector.

The volume and power buttons must both be repositioned in order to remove the motherboard.
To reposition the power and volume buttons, use the iFixit Opening Tool to pull the plastic casing upwards. Then, remove the casing completely.
Make sure that both the volume and the power buttons are free from the plastic casing before separating the motherboard from its case.
Be very careful when repositioning the volume buttons, since the fragile digitizer ribbon cable runs from the motherboard to the digitizer right next to the volume buttons. It is very easy to damage the ribbon cable while working in this area.
