Insert a plastic opening tool between the plastic panel shown on the device.
-
Use the tool to pry the plastic away from the device.

Once the screws are removed, the back panel can slide off the device.
I’ve tackled apparently more complicated jobs on iMac, MacBook and iPhone, but this one has defeated me! I can’t complete step 3 the panel simply will not slide off.
Correction, tried some more. After one and a half hours of struggling I finally managed to slide the cover off. Now tht it’s been done once, it slides on and off easily.Just putting this here in case others have the same problem - persevere. In principle the job’s an easy one.
If the old battery swells, as mine did, the board will not slide out of the case. Too much pressure exerted on the case from the swollen battery.
I had to separate the two halves of the case.
Case hard to slide off for me as well. Found that some double-sticky tape on the magnetic part overlapped the case and had to be carefully sliced. Was able to budge the case enough to give the opening tool purchase near the charge port, and pry that way. The case only needs to slide 1/2” or so and then it lifts off.
Wedge the guitar picks at the top where the two top screws where: slides off immediately like a charm.

Remove the magnetic component with the magnetic head of the aluminum driver.
You can use both magnetic piece or fingers indeed, but it does respond to a magnet for easier picking up.

Use a spudger to push up the black tabs on all three ribbon cables.
-
Once the tabs are open, gently pull the ribbon cables out of their housings.

-
There is quite a bit of glue between the screen and the case, So before inserting any opening tool, use plenty of heat to soften the glue.
-
Insert a plastic opening tool into the small crack between the screen and the front panel. Counter-intuitively, start away from the fragile corners and in the middle of a side, near the touch buttons.
-
Work your way around the screen until you can pry it all the way open.
imposible to do, the sceen breack eat time you try to insert tool in the small crack
Mine was a nightmare to remove, lots of cracks and plenty of glass bits to clean up after. Didn’t figure to use heat until the cleanup. Be careful not to melt the plastic edge around the screen though, at least if using something like a Dremel Versatip which I used. Would likely have been much easier if I had heated before prying open the screen.
Take your time. Plan to spend 30-60 minutes doing this step. Use hairdryer to heat the glass so it’s hot to touch. Use a lot of guitar picks to secure parts that were done, so they don’t stick back. Work slowly. Avoid pressure. Reheat it once in a while. Take several turns around the screen, pushing the picks slightly further each time.
Don’t push too far. There’s about 5mm wide patch of glue on the left and right borders and 10mm at top and bottom. If you go deeper, you’ll start too work between the e-ink and the touch screen.
I still cracked my screen. Doing the next half I figured how to do it so it doesn’t crack. But you’re replacing it because it’s broken anyway, right?
Well, it’s really hard to remove the screen because of the glue. We are afraid to break some electronic components. But the hairdryer is the solution to it. Just heat the borders of the screen and use a thin tool to remove it. This video may help: https://youtu.be/Vs4P_L_N4GE
This was very helpful! "Counter-intuitively, start away from the fragile corners and in the middle of a side, near the touch buttons.Counter-intuitively, start away from the fragile corners and in the middle of a side, near the touch buttons."
In addition, I removed the battery, and put the Kindle Voyage inside of a convection oven at 120C for 10min., while resting on top of a ceramic plate. My hair dryer was only putting out 60C. Oven worked like a charm! Use oven mittens. Screen intact. I'm using parts from this because it had a logic board issue. Screen might be OK for fun hacks! :)

Once the screen is free of the front panel, pull the loose ribbon cables through the openings in the bottom of the screen.
-
Lift the screen off of the front panel.
I pressed down the screen Kindle Voyage. Where can I order a new screen? goldenbek@list.ru
Die Bilder vermitteln einen falschen Eindruck! Das Glas ist sehr wohl geklebt - mit einem wiederlich zähem Zeug. Ausserdem sollte man auf der unteren (Kontakt-) Seite beginnen, da dort nur ein schmaler Metallrand mit Kleber versehen ist. Und viel, viel Geduld mitbringen! Der Kleber löst sich so mit 1mm pro Stunde...
Wo hast du denn deinen neuen display hergehabt? Hast du einen guten gefunden?

Hi, same problem - i don't know where to buy the replacement screen/lcd-panel for the voyage. any ideas?, best, Axel
aliexpress.com
Habe mein Ersatzdisplay bei Aliexpress gefunden. “ED060TC1” ist die Artikelbezeichnung, unter der es zu finden ist. Kosten (Stand 01/2020): Zwischen 55 und 60 EUR.
I can confirm that parts under “ED060TC1”on AliExpress are compatible with Kindle Voyage (their listing even mention the Voyage).
I managed to order parts and replace the digitizer + screen on my once broken Voyage.
Hello. How can I separate the glass screen from the e-ink screen? Thank you
Instructions are incomplete. I managed to remove the front glass. The e-ink screen is under it. I just broke the screen trying to remove the glued front glass. Throwing my Kindle in the trash ?
I don't think you can. At least I couldn't, there is a glue layer between both and maybe you could separate them without breaking and cleaning the residual glue, but I'd advice replacing both together when one is broken.

My screen glass is cracked, but the e-ink screen is fine. I found a replacement glass on Amazon, but how can I separate the e-ink display from the glass without destroying it? Is there a replacement piece that contains both?
Did you get anywhere with this John?

I'm wondering the same thing. How are you guys separating the screen? it's just not coming off. it's crumbing and cracking rather than lifting.
My guess is that the e-ink TFT screen is bonded to the glass digitizer with a UV curing optically clear adhesive. The chance of separating the broken digi and the e-ink part without cracking the TFT are close to impossible. I know they use a very strong thin wire system to separate LCD's on small devices like phones but not sure if the e-ink screen is strong. I have managed to source a couple of recycled working screens complete with digi and e-ink together for some customers. As soon as we have them here and done the repairs, we will experiment on getting one of the damaged ones apart to see if we can replace just the digitizer. REO Technology Ltd. www.reotech.co.uk
Hey folks! i feel like i found the replacement for a broken screen for kindle voyage. I am not sure about links sharing policy here, but if you will google "ED060TC1" you'll find plenty of offers from china. In order not to be screwed by amazon manufacturer uses "Montana" as brand on a front panel. Gonna order one today.
Did it work?

Can you give us an update on compatibility with Amazon Voyage?
Thanks in advance
yes, the screen is working, however my device seems to be broken... it shows me - "your kindle needs a repair"
Did this work for you?
When I opened the black cover in step 1, my touchscreen stopped working. What is the problem and what do i need to do to fix it???
I have a replacement screen but i can't separate the old digitizer because of the adhesive. They make it look so easy in this guide but i have all the tools required and i'm taking my time and the screen is just crumbling and not lifting.
This is was more difficult than the writer makes it seem. Impossible to get screen off on the basis of these instructions. Out a$30 screen and have to order a new voyage.
Same experience here, plus some bloody finger :)
i'll see if somebody on ebay wants to buy what remains, after the first cuts my patience cracked and so did the lcd.
indeed this is not possible as the instructions purport. The e-ink screen is bonded to the protective screen with a very sticky glue. I think it impossible to just replace the protective screen.
Yeah, this is pretty much impossible. Screen is tightly bonded to the rest of the body. This guide should either be revised or removed, because it will result in people destroying their device.
This gets the screen replaced, but I don't think it actually fixes the Voyage. Did the author actually put a new screen into a Voyage and make it work?
My attempt, and every one I've found online, winds up with the screen working but saying "Your Kindle needs repair: code 2" which means "beyond hope, buy a new Kindle."
I think that there may be some kind of an issue with a calibration or serial number tie between the screen circuitry and the main board.
It's IMO wrong for iFixit to present this as such an easy fix when in fact, as far as I can tell, it's actually impossible.
I successfully changed my screen, but the only thing broken on mine was the E-Ink screen. Never saw an error code, although the screen was broken and didn’t show anything.

WARNING: As far as I can tell as of Fall 2018 you can no longer buy screen replacements. You can be the screed digitizer (front glass) but this is useless because it is permanently attached to the e-ink display. So you can’t just replace the front glass.
Some tips for anyone who comes here trying to do this. The tape attaching the screen/digitizer is very strong, but narrow. I had success using a plastic opening tool to wedge the glass from the case, starting at the “buttons” and using guitar pick, or other flat piece of plastic to cut away at the adhesive. DO NOT WEDGE THE CORNERS, they seem to be far more fragile and shatter, then you have to pick away all the shards. After removing the screen I scraped away all the leftover adhesive so that the screen fits flush as it did originally. When removing the adhesive, make sure not to cover the light sensor in the upper left corner or your auto-dimming won’t work.
Screens+digitizer still seem to be available on eBay, from China, just have to wait a month for them to ship over.
No, it is impossible to separate the screen without cracking it. New Kindle on the way!!
My screen is working but has lifted off. Are there and special precautions to avoid causing damage when removing a working screen? What adhesive is needed to reattach the screen and the plastic panel on the back?
This is not the best way to do this. The plastic panel snaps in on the lower/center part and slides into notches in the top. When you do as this instructs it breaks the tabs that connect on the top. If you can slide a few of the guitar picks into the lower part and get all the glue disconnected and get it to get past the snaps on the bottom you can then slide it upward and remove it without damaging the panel.

Thank you for a very helpful hint

Definitely agree with this, and would clarify a bit. If the piece to be removed is at the top of the Kindle, the only purchase for the Opener Tool is the seam along the top edge. Start at either corner, and pry just enough to insert a pick, and repeat the process to work your way along the slanted edge towards the bottom edge; the adhesive releases easily. Continue along the bottom edge, then lift the bottom edge clear of its retainers. The whole piece can then easily be slid off.

Putting it back on was by far the hardest part of the whole process for me. The tiny tabs at the "top" are sort of hooks that fit into slots in the top of the kindle. To remove get the back part (away from the edge part) pried up, those tabs pull straight up but it's glued down so it really needs careful prying, once the back side is up it can slide up and off. Very fiddly to get back on, slide down hooking the edge first then massage into place to fit the tabs one the away-from-edge side in. I think I mushed the edge hooks down a bit, I had to use a pick in between the main part and the tiny hooks to make sure they were not mashed down before I was able to get it reassembled. Succeeded in the end, be prepared to fuss with it a lot!
