It already have adhesive when you purchase this. I think they use regular double sided tape but it all ready for you to peel n paste. You do not need to buy extra adhesive.

the screen I ordered came with adhesive strips installed on the glass hop this helps

The glass (digitizer) is glued into the plastic Kindle frame. To remove it, you have to heat it up with a hair dryer or heat gun. This replacement digitizer + LCD has glue on it already and you just have to peel off the tape covering the glue and then stick it in the frame. You should not need to purchase any additional glue or double-sided tape of any sort.

It already comes with glue (if you buy this one!). You just need a hair dryer but be careful with your broken screen while taking it off, mine cracked into tiny little pieces because it was cracked with 1 large crack already and it took an hour to get all the pieces off and the glue. Ended up using a combination of hand sanitizer, nail polish remover and baking soda to get all the glue chunks off because the glass was so broken that none of it came off easy. Good luck!! :)

The kindle screen that is original to the device is glued down. When I ordered this screen it came in great packaging with all the tools I needed to make it work... Including pre-approved glue to the back of the screen. There are plastic tabs that protect the glue that you pull off when you are ready to attaching to the screen. Im not sure if every seller provides the pre-approved glue, so it is peobably best to purchase a separate set of screen glue incase it doesn't... Or incase you accidentally stick the screen to something it shouldn't be stuck to. Hope this helps

This is most of it. You will also need a extremely small screw driver, a pry tool, and double sided adhesive tape. I used super glue and you can see some residue through the screen. Make sure it is just the screen that is broken and not the digitizer as well. Best of luck to you

Thanks, an LCD screen is on a CELLPHONE isn't it? My major was EE they use UV in a lot of processes curing, etching etc. so there could be cause for concern. I thought this was Seller contact NOT buyers. I wrote them also.

Don't do it! This stuff permeates scrathes and gets below the surface...you could damage stuff behind the screen...just like they say don't use this stuff on phones, iphones, etc...it will damage stuff behind the screen. i've seen it happen. against my recommendation a friend used my kit to fix a scratch on his iphone...next day, iphone won't turn on anymore. nothing else happened in between the fix (like, no water damage, no dropping, no battery drain, etc...). BottomLINE...DONT do it.

I bought this for my niece's kindle. it's like a very heavy duty saran wrap. or, as they used to say when I was a kind in the sixties "oil cloth". I have one just like it on my smartphone, and it works great!!! a damp piece of paper towel is about all you need. or, you can go to the pharmacy section of Walmart or target, and look for a product called "flents lens wipes". these things are like a stronger paper towel soaked in alcohol so when you're wiping the screen it dries almost immediately. I hope this helped

I left my Kindle with my wife for 60 seconds while I moved the car, and she managed to get this screen up.. How did she manage do to it? The hard restart that Mustafa speaks of worked just fine.. I just want to know how she managed to get the screen up and make it stay up.

I have a Kindle Fire HD 7" that one of my kids dropped on the floor and cracked the screen. I would recommend this to someone with a reasonable degree of mechanical aptitude. Definitely watch some Youtube videos. The hardest part I had with this project was removing the old cracked screen. I'm sure it would come out much better if it was in one piece. I used a blow dryer to heat up the adhesive enough to scrape it out with a razor. Then I used acetone (nail polish remover) to remove the left-over adhesive. Thankfully, the new screen comes with the adhesive already on it. *Tip: pay particular attention removing the speaker wires from the motherboard.

Directions to "slap" it on, (you'll need to be more intentional than that) will come in the packaging. There' also a link to a video, you should watch. The screen itself should last a long time unless you somehow scratch or tear it.

I think it's more likely that your screen is broken. I dropped my kindle and broke the screen, and got something similar, where part of the screen was what was on the screen when I dropped it, and the rest was the screen i should be seeing based on where I was in my book.A broken e-paper/e-ink screen looks very different than a broken LCD.

I have one and it uses air and the plastic to "Ziplock" to your screen. Its not glue.

I've had my Kindle 2 for about a month, I preordered it, and yes, I LOVE IT. However, I have not noticed this problem and just checked myKindle 2, and cannot see any evidence of previous screens, no matter how I try. Maybe an issue with yours? I can't even seem to make it happen.

It's for the latest kindle out. Is that called 3rd generation? I'm not good at that. They are awful, though. I couldn't get them to stick and the anti-glare is rough and dry looking. I just didn't like them. Had to throw 2 or 3 away. The other will get there, too, I'm afraid. Impossible to apply and not great.

My chrome book was dropped by accident and basically the same thing happened :( when i took it to best buy they said the screen was cracked and that eventually the liquid will leak all over the screen and it will turn black. I bought the screen and my husband replaced it in less than 10 min... Looks better than the original screen too ;)

Sounds like you need a glue and then use this product. I wasn't happy with this product. I think I have more damage than possibly to use this product. :-(

If nothing else works try Vitamin E Oil - use your fingers to smooth on the screen. Like New!

I removed my Kindle by gently taking my fingers and pulling the Kindle away from the sticky part. I had no problems reattaching the Kindle back to the sticky part and it has stayed in place. I am sure that the more you do this, that sticky part will soon lose the stickiness.
