    Tip- Inspect screen for any discoloration after you're done. I had a purplish blue smudge mark in the middle of the screen that would go away when I opened the phone again. It was caused by the aftermarket battery being slightly thicker than normal causing pressure on the LCD from underneath. The battery had 2 layers of stickers on it for some reason, removing 1 layer alleviated this pressure and the discoloration was gone.

    Important!! There's a black strip running across the bottom of the battery that's connected to the glue strips. It's not the tape that wraps around the bottom of the battery; it's just below that. First, heat up the back of the phone under the battery with a hair dryer to soften the glue a bit. (If you forget to do this, the strip is likely to break when you pull on it.) Then pull the strip out slightly and snip it in half with scissors. This allows you to pull each glue strip separately. Gently, firmly, and evenly, steadily pull each strip out; there will be a squeaking noise as the glue strip stretches. Careful! If it breaks you're going to have to pry the battery out. The stretched strip gets about a foot long if you let it, but I like to grab it close to the battery so it's less likely to break prematurely. After both strips are removed, the glue is gone and the battery will lift out easily.

    Thanks for posting this video, very helpful. I also read some the comments before starting my battery replacement, so I did pay attention to which screws came out of each location. I wanted to avoid removing the screen, but it was impossible (for me) to get the battery to lift up from the bottom. I removed the screen as indicated, and then pried the battery out from the top. It definitely took much longer than shown in the video. I was careful not to bend the old battery excessively during removal, and did not experience any smoke, fire, or injury during the extraction. Getting the wiring clips reattached did take some doing. I did test the iPhone before closing everything up. The touch screen, and finger print button worked fine, but the phone did not pick up my voice when asking Siri a question. I reseated that wire connector, and reassembled the phone. This time everything worked fine. The new battery does seem to be discharging rather quickly. I will let it deplete to about 10% charger before recharging. I will know by tomorrow if the new battery is holding a charger better than the old one.

    It is not absolutely necessary to remove the screen. Once you get it open, find a small box (about 3x3x5 inches) and put a rubber band around the box and the screen. That holds the screen vertical and out of the way.

    • @thrash1337

  • @Ronnie1001
    @Ronnie1001 7 ปีที่แล้ว +262

    I NEVER take the screen off, it's unnecessary if you are careful and if you put the screws back in the wrong holes, you destroy the circuit underneath because one screw is longer than the rest and trashes circuit tracks less than a hair's breadth, which causes UNFIXABLE blue-screen crashes.
    AND YOU DON'T PRY THE BATTERY!!!
    There is a thin black strip along the bottom edge of the battery with a little loop on one end. If you gently pull that loop then white rubbery ribbons will start to pull out from under the battery, but don't pull too hard or jerkily or they will snap.
    Eventually, when about 20cm of white rubber ribbon has come out, the battery will fall free without having to be levered at all and can be replaced.
    Using pry tools on the battery runs the risk of damaging the layers inside, which can cause a short and/or a lithium/air fire.
    And when you are pressing the glass back into place, put the glass face down on a smooth flat surface and push the case from behind (uneven pressure on the glass may crack it).

      The shortest screw goes into the hole next to the case edge, nearest to the SIM slot. If you're unsure, leave that hole empty and put the longer screw aside, as the other 3 shorter screws will be easily sufficient to hold the ribbon cables in place.

    Thank you for the video, it was very helpful.
    HOWEVER, to any one attempting this: The sticky tape that holds the battery in place is INCREDIBLY strong. The battery will not and I say again WILL NOT come out as easily as shown in this video. In order to remove my old battery, I had to completely bend it upwards and I even punctured it due to the force I had to use, which caused a small burn on my thumb.
    So beware. The battery requires a lot of force to unstick from the sticky tape, and that is very hard to do without damaging the phone components.

      Marco Daniel Thanks for commenting. Yes, the battery is stuck down very hard inside the phone. The tape seems to get stronger with time. Be very careful when opening the phone.

    • @moonandroid5290
      @moonandroid5290 9 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Just adding here: Due to the amount of force required to un-stick the battery from my iPhone, I unwillingly damaged the Vol Up (+) button connections (which run underneath the battery), and now it no longer works (the button, not the phone of course, the phone is fine).

    You sir, are a legend. Clear to follow instructions, plus you included the home button cable which seems to be missing on other iPhone 5s videos. I accidentally knocked my beast into some water for a few seconds. Phone detected the water and went into shut down (As opposed to electrical failure.) and I madly went searching for my phone tools. Got the screen off and battery disconnected, and let it air out in the really hot dry air here at the moment, with a fan blowing on it. 12 hours later, followed the second half of the video, and phone is back together and appears to be working properly.

Make sure they go in the same place that they were removed from or you will end up with the Apple reboot loop ;-)

    I've watched and used a lot of your videos to much success, but this video is a dangerous situation waiting to happen (and it did). You should really make a note that most older iPhone 5S's batteries WILL NOT come out easily. I ended up breaking mine in the middle causing smoke and cuts on my left hand (the one I was prying it up with) due to the battery casing breaking.
    For anyone watching this with a semi old iPhone 5S, DO NOT FORCE THE BATTERY. I would try iFixit's method of cutting the battery removal tab and pulling the adhesive strips out from under the battery instead.
    At least put an annotation to warn your viewers!

    • @trobert132
      @trobert132 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Heat is your friend if you can use it in the proper way. Apply some heat with a hairdryer on the back plate where the battery is located evenly. Try to pry it every once in a while from different angles to see if it loosens. Use the metal frame as a support for the plastic pry tool and never try to force it under the battery or you'll damage the ribbon cable on the top section. The battery is not 100% flush to the case so I always find a good spot for leverage.

    • @DaisyReese
      @DaisyReese 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Mine was apparently very old. The battery itself was mushy so as I tried to pry it up it was bending as if the battery casing was full of play dough. I ended up using tweezers to bend off the edges closest to the phone case (not the parts side) then slowly shoving a credit card under it and wiggling it. It took all about 15mins of gently push, rug and wiggle. I ended up with an uber deformed looking old battery. Very glad I removed the screen. No way I could have removed the battery with the screen attached and not damaging the ribbons.

      Actually, if u look at replacement batteries online, you will find that all look the same, but there is a wide range of pricing. You can pick up a battery for iPhone 5s for anywhere from $5 to $50. But don't let looks fool you. From experience, MOST (not all) of the more expensive batteries hold charge for longer, and just seem to have better battery health. Yes it is true that these batteries are very hard to make, so no bootleg company is gonna be able to make these. But that doesn't mean all batteries are created equal. I wish I could tell you as to how or why this happens. I don't know. It may be that the cheaper batteries are taken from the plant at some point before they've been finished and tested. Or once a battery is made, they test them and if they don't have a high enough voltage, they may throw them out where they're picked up and distributed somehow. Who knows. But fact remains, a new battery from apple is just that, new. The battery u buy online for $5 may say new, but is it? Conspiracy.. apple did admit to throttling phones performance based on battery life.

    While I'm sure this vid was made with the best intention, this in NOT AT ALL how you are supposed to do it! 1. You are not supposed to pry the battery (this could break the battery and harm your iphone and YOU) , instead the adhesive strips underneath the bat. have TABS located at the BOTTOM END which will allow you to pull them out without moving the bat. 2. Putting a wrong (too long) screw in the bottom right hole of the mainboard assembly plate will PERMANENTLY DAMAGE YOUR MAINBOARD, and you will have to get a new one. If unsure, better leave this one hole unscrewed (pun intended)!

I now have a 5s and it''s a joy to use it just "works" so now i'd rather buy an iphone as I want a phone that's reliable and not prone to dodgy cheap screens. Most android 5.5" screens have ghost touch issues eventually, just google it as they all come from the same factories in China using cheapo components in the screen sensors and also badly positioned sensors that overheat with time and become damaged.

    • @ojomann1
      @ojomann1 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I'm android user because it's "open source" and thus can be modified. Never had anything bigger than 5.2" though and will stick to that as my biggest. Now I don't doubt iPhone quality (and apple as such), but as the tech I am, everything I have is rooted and modified of some sort. Together with the proprietary solutions apple uses, my choice is "simple" :)
      I should mention that (in general) the components used in expensive android gadgets are as good as apple's. You get what you pay for. And android have a plethora of different devices to choose from. Apple is one only (ofc the -s -c -plus variants or whatever they call them) ;)

    • @steveturnbull9869
      @steveturnbull9869 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      sure and i have also rooted fire tablets, samsung galaxy note phones with various roms, to be honest rooted does not = better imo. Usually they come with their own bugs and quirks and rooting devices is not that difficult, non-technical people just think it is. Rooting devices just sounds cool and geeky. I would most likely still be with android if it wasn't for the poor build quality. I'm sure Samsung S7 and other premium android phones are decent build quality but then i'd be paying almost as much as an Iphone and at least with Iphone it's only a single platform so the apps very rarely crash in my experience, they are much more robust than the apps on android which has to cater for a variety of hw platforms and many variants of Android OS.
