If your device is struggling to hold a charge or just won’t power on, you’re in the right place. We’re here to walk you through every step of safely taking out that tired battery and installing a fresh one, ensuring your device runs like a champ. Just a heads up, this repair might take some time and requires a bit of know-how. You’ll need some special skills, especially using a heat gun. If you need help, you can always schedule a repair.
Step 1
Before diving in, make sure to unplug and turn off your device. Safety first, right?
– First things first, pop out that SIM card and its tray like a pro.
– Grab an iOpener or a heat gun and gently warm up the adhesive holding the back cover in place.
– Once it’s nice and warm, slide an opening pick into the gap between the back cover and the chassis.
– Now, take that pick and glide it all the way around the edges.
– Finally, carefully lift off the back cover and reveal the inner workings!
Step 2
– Tackle those thirteen 3.6 mm Phillips screws holding the midframe in place—let’s get them out of there!
– Grab an opening pick and gently ease out the midframe like a pro.
Step 3
– Grab your trusty opening tool and carefully lift those press connectors on each end of the ribbon cables. You’ve got this!
– Now, gently detach those ribbon cables and set them aside. Easy peasy!
Step 4
Watch out for bending or poking that battery! Let’s keep it safe and sound.
– Drop a few drops of high-concentration isopropyl alcohol at the top of the battery. This will help loosen up that pesky adhesive holding it down.
– Grab your trusty opening pick and gently pry the battery up. You’ve got this!
– Carefully remove the battery. Easy peasy!
– When you’re putting it all back together, if your shiny new battery doesn’t have pre-applied adhesive, just apply some to the well. Then give that new battery a firm press to lock it in place.
