Ready to tackle that pesky battery issue on your G6? In this guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to replace your G6’s faulty battery all by yourself! Whether your device is crashing during those intense usage moments, you can’t charge it up, or the battery life just can’t keep up, we’ve got you covered. Let’s get your G6 back to life!

Step 1

– Turn off your device by holding down the power button on the back until the “Power off” option appears.

– Tap to confirm and wait until the screen goes black.

Step 2

– Warm up that rear glass all around! It’s stuck tight along the edges, around the home button, and even over the USB port.

– Gently slide the iFlex between the rear glass and the frame, but keep it to a maximum of 5 mm. We want to be careful here!

Hey there, just a friendly reminder: be super gentle with that back cover! It’s a bit fragile and can crack if you’re not careful. Instead of prying it, just glide your tool around the edges. If it’s being stubborn, don’t hesitate to give it a little heat boost and try again. Remember, patience is key here—removing the back cover might take a bit, so take your time and work carefully to avoid any mishaps. You got this!

Step 3

4 × 2.7 mm Phillips

The LG G6 keeps it simple with just one screw length, and only the midframe and speaker are held in place with screws. Easy peasy!

– First, let’s tackle those equal-length Phillips screws holding the speaker in place. Unscrew them and keep them safe for later use!

– Next up, gently pry the speaker away from the battery’s side and lift it out of the device. You’re doing great!

Step 4

7 × Phillips

– Let’s get those midframe screws outta there! Use your Phillips head screwdriver and carefully remove the equally sized screws. Keep them safe – you’ll need them later!

– Time to gently coax the midframe loose! Slide a thin, flat tool into the gap and give it a little nudge. Easy peasy!

– The midframe’s got four little clips holding it in place. Once it starts to wiggle free, you’ll be able to pop it right out. Smooth sailing!

Step 5

Battery Connector

– Disconnect the battery using a plastic tool to prevent short circuits.

Step 6

– Gently peel back the blue tab located at the bottom edge of the battery.

– Give that blue tab a little extra tug to pop the battery out. If it’s being stubborn, a little warmth from the display at around 50-60°C can help loosen the adhesive.

– Carefully lift the battery out of the device.

Hey there! When you’re removing that battery, remember: no bending and definitely no direct heat! If you want to loosen that glue, warm up the screen instead—it’s the star of the show. Just keep the display below 60°C (140°F) to avoid any drama!

The battery adhesive isn’t the strongest out there, so be gentle when you’re working with it. If you need help, you can always schedule a repair!

Step 7

Leave enough space on all sides when inserting the battery. Make sure the connector is placed over its socket, so you can plug it in easily.

– Pop that battery into your device and give it a little nudge to make it snug as a bug!

Step 8
