"Although the information we release has been verified and shown to work to the best our knowledge, we cant be held accountable for bricked devices or roots gone wrong." This page will be dedicated to a general overview of descriptions and information related to The Amazon Fire TV Stick.
Purchase
You can purchase The Amazon Fire TV Stick on Amazon.
Tear Down
The Amazon Fire TV Stick contains no screws and is pretty easy to get apart once all the clips holding the case together are undone. In this tear down we used a guitar pick to separate the 2 pieces of the case but any similar small and durable piece of plastic would have worked.
