all right today we're going to take out
the battery in the iPhone 5s first take
your pentalobe screwdriver the same
screwdriver that's used for all of the
iPhones and take out the two screws near
the base then take your suction cup and
put as close to the home button as
possible and take a metal pry tool or
anything that's sturdy enough to fit
between the glass screen and the metal
frame I like to use a razor blade just
because of how firm it is it doesn't
bend around and make sure that the
screen comes up when in control so you
can see I'm just barely prying it up
very very gently right here and I'm
going to switch to a plastic tool to not
damage the frame of the screen you have
to be very careful when you're lifting
it up because there is a little ribbon
cable attached to the home button that
you can see right here and there is a
little clasp that you have to lift up
it's just like a little latch so I'm
gonna get my little pry tool in there
and just clip it up and you can see it
Bend back just like a little door and
the whole little thing comes off you can
see that it will detach itself as soon
as I get the ribbon cable unclipped so
it's kind of like a Lego so I lift up
and away from the bottom and it unsnaps
and now we're gonna take off the screen
just so we don't damage it while we're
removing the battery it's pretty simple
there's just four screws around the
outside of the little metal bracket
undoing each of those right now make
sure not to bend the screen past ninety
degrees or it will damage the cables any
parts that you need for this will be
down in the video description below
tools batteries if you need anything
else just ask me in the comments usually
spawn pretty quick so now I'm gonna take
off these three ribbon cable connectors
this one's for the speaker on the screen
this next one is for the LCD on the
screen and then this last one is for the
digitizer on the screen which is the
part where you touch and it recognizes
where your finger is now the screen is
off you can just kind of see the back of
it here you have the earpiece with your
cameras and everything and then you have
your fingerprint sensor on the home
button now to take out the battery there
are two screws holding on this metal
bracket that holds the battery connector
in place so I'm going to take off this
screw keep them separate from the other
screws you took apart earlier just
because they are different lengths and
I'm going to remove this bracket and set
it next to the screws so I know which
one goes in which hole I'm gonna take my
pry tool and lift up on the little latch
you can see the three pin connector
right there
and now I flip the phone around and I'm
gonna start prying down from the top of
the battery just kind of using the frame
as leverage and pushing my pry tool
underneath the battery so I'm not doing
a whole lot of pulling up on the frame
or the back I'm more just sliding the
tool underneath and that unsticks it
from the two strands of sticky tape that
you'll see here in a second then just
kind of wiggle the battery loose and the
battery is now free from the iPhone 5s
the iPhone 5s and the iPhone 5c battery
is interchangeable I will list the
iPhone 5s battery below though because
it is the bigger battery it lasts longer
anyway press it down into place inside
the phone make sure it's completely flat
and put the three pin connector back
into place and the metal bracket back on
top screwing it back in if you have any
questions you can either leave them in
the comments or you can always hit me up
on Twitter or Facebook I'll put links at
the end of the video for that
now we're going to reattach the screen
starting with the digitizer cable
just kind of clip that into place it's
just kind of like Legos he'll just have
to position it with your finger and
you'll hear a snap as it goes in be
gentle though we want to break the least
amount of stuff possible when we open
these phones up hopefully nothing you
can see me struggle a little bit with
this last one and takes a second to
figure out where the connection actually
is and I'm gonna put the bracket back
into place
grabbing each of the screws that I laid
out before remembering where they went I
usually lay the screws out around the
bracket next with the hole they go in
once again any parts for this can be
found in the video description below
Amazon is usually the cheapest place to
get batteries and stuff so I'll put a
link there now the fun part the little
ribbon cable for the some print readers
fingerprint reader um is pretty hard to
get back into place you have to line it
up kind of with your finger first and
then take your plastic pry tool and just
kind of gently press it into place it
takes a while you're gonna love you're
gonna love it so now that that's clicked
in you have your little bracket and you
set that into place just sitting kind of
on top of it make sure it's orient in
the right direction and then you can
press it or clip it back down into place
with your finger takes a second to get
it all lined up and that's what it looks
like when it's all pressed down into
place so it'll clip in on both sides and
hold that ribbon cable in very securely
then line the top of the screen up with
the frame and kind of clip it up along
the sides being careful not to press too
hard in the center of the screen you
don't want to crack it
and it will clip back into place and you
can see that it's completely flush with
the phone again and then at this point I
like to turn it on just to make sure
everything's working so I want to jump
back in just in case I you know forgot
to connect any cables or anything like
that if you have any questions make sure
to leave them in the comment section

bottom two screws in I put a videos you
