Using the tweezers, gently lift the tape off of the Power bridge connector. If a new unit comes with a new piece of tape, remove entirely, if not remove and place one corner lightly face down on a clean surface to be used again.
Heya, can you share the details for the battery?

Once free of the adhesive and connectors, remove the old battery from the device.
One step missing…. the end of the orange power connector (the end not attached to the battery) clips into a little socket which is barely visible. You can tell when it clips in by the feel and sound. Make sure that when you put the new battery in, you first clip the connector in before you stick the tape down.
Thank you @Gary Jacobson… that’s a pretty important step that’s missing. I greatly appreciated your comment noting it.
Also, folks should be aware that the battery you get from iFixIt might come fully discharged. So if your Oasis doesn’t power-on immediately (or do anything at all) after replacing the battery, don’t despair! Plug it in, let it charge for a while, and see if it comes back to life. Mine did (after I had taken it apart twice, reseated the battery and then assumed it was dead and ordered a new one from Amazon). Sigh!

Since I don’t see an answer a year and a half later; I’ll ask the question again. Does anyone know somewhere to order a replacement charge port for this model? The replacement procedure doesn’t seem too difficult but I can’t find the Kindle Oasis part that is inclusive with the ribbon cable anywhere.
I also am trying to purchase a replacement. Anyone have any success?
Ditto .looking everywhere. Any ideas?
Where can I buy this battery?

It would be really helpful if you could show more detail on how the backing is attached to the device, what the latching mechanism looks like in detail, and how to separate it. The technique in the photos might work on a device that has been opened a hundred times before, but on a new one, this guide doesn’t really help me to understand how to open the device.

I couldn't get the back cover off with the tool for the life of me. I wound up using a small flathead screwdriver and gently rubber hammering it in at an angle near the lower left of the raised panel, where it appears there aren't any components to damage. Once one clip is off the rest come off pretty easy with the tool.
