iPhone 6 battery replacement guide. Warning lithium batteries are highly
explosive. It is highly suggested to take your
phone to a professional repair center for a battery replacement. Please
understand the danger of this replacement. We will need a triangular
plastic pick, a plastic prying tool often referred to as a spudger, a proprietary
Apple screwdriver called a pentalobe screwdriver, a Philips head double zero
screwdriver. All of these tools should come standard with your replacement kit.
Go ahead and power down the iPhone. Make sure not to miss this step. Flip it over
so you can see the charging port. There you'll see there are two pentalobe
screws securing the screen to the frame. Go ahead and remove those with your
pentalobe screwdriver.
Once removed we can go ahead and pry open the iPhone and access the internal
parts. Go ahead and use your triangular pick to find a spot near the auxiliary
cable to slide it in. Once you slide it in, go ahead and slide it across the
crack digging it slightly deeper in but be very careful with your movements you
don't want to damage any internal parts. Once the pick is in about a quarter of
an inch, go ahead and slightly twist it from left to right to get that prying
action. You want to crack open the lower half of the phone be careful because the
top portion of the phone is connected with about four cables to the logic
board. Remove the two Phillips head screws that are securing the bracket
that's preventing the battery cable from coming undone. Use the prying tool to
disconnect the battery. The battery has two double sided tape pull tabs that are
underneath it as the battery gets old so do the pull tabs and alot of the time
they end up not being able to stretch and so they rip when you tug on them. If
you're able to pull the tabs out you can go ahead and remove the battery and fast
forward to the replacement process. If your tabs rip, we're going to have to
heat up the phone from the rear with a heat gun or a hairdryer and pry the
battery out slowly. Once you've heated the phone on low for
about two to three minutes, go ahead and start prying out the bottom left corner
of the battery. Make sure you start in this corner specifically as starting in
any other corner can damage another component. Once you got the corner
started, go ahead and get a plastic knife or a credit card. Under no circumstances
should you use a metallic tool to pry the battery apart.
Remember if you fold or twist a lithium battery it has a high chance of
exploding or catching on fire. Be very careful as you work the knife or the
card in underneath the battery. If you're having a hard time, reheat the battery
again. Once the adhesion is loosened it will give and you'll be able to pry the
battery out. Once you pry the battery out, go ahead and remove all of the residual
pieces. When installing the new battery, during
reassembly, make sure to use double-sided tape instead of the pull tabs as this
will make it easier to replace the battery in case you have to again. Once
the double-sided tape is peeled, just place the battery in and reconnect it.
Make sure that the connection is solid.
Reinstall the connection protection bracket. The long screw goes on the left,
the short Phillips head screw goes on the right. We're now ready to clamp up
the phone. Go ahead and take the top portion of the screen and push it into
the top portion of the frame of the phone and gently start putting it in.
Apply slight pressure going around the contour of the phone. Do this portion
slowly to make sure that the connection is aligned properly and tight. Once you
went all the way around and you feel like you have a solid lock, it's time to
reinstall the two pentalobe screws. It's time to power up and test the phone. This
