Step 1
Before you start, make sure your phone’s battery is below 25% charged. A fully charged lithium-ion battery can be a safety hazard, so it’s better to be safe than sorry. If your battery is swollen, take the necessary precautions to avoid any accidents. If you need help, you can always schedule a repair
– First things first, let’s unplug all those cables from your phone. Give it some breathing room!
– Now, press and hold the side key along with the volume down button. When you’re ready, tap ‘Power off’ to gracefully shut down your phone.
Step 2
Feel free to use a hair dryer, heat gun, or hot plate to warm things up a bit, but keep an eye on the heat! We wouldn’t want to toast your phone—both the display and internal battery are a bit sensitive to heat. Stay cool while you heat things up!
– Warm up an iOpener and place it on the right edge of the back cover for a cozy two minutes.
