How to replace LG Stylo 4 Battery Replacement

[@ridinwithbrian9766]

Phone companies are a pain in the ass. They make these phone near impossible to change out batteries just because they want people to buy new phones @ $250-$1300..... Screw'em! 👊😎👍

[@gavrilovas1]

Agree

[@ronfiveo]

I purchased a battery replacement kit and thanks to your video I was able to replace the old with the new and now I have a working cell phone. I don't use it to make calls or texts, but I am using it as a sort of 'mini tablet". I can also use it as a camera to attach , with an adapter, to my spotting scope for shooting targets and recording the performance and where the points of impact are. Thanks again for making this video.

[@gavrilovas1]

Ron, thank you for your comment!

BOYCOTT PHONES WITHOUT EASILY REMOVABLE BATTERIES.

[@gavrilovas1]

most of the new phones have integrated battery but I agree with you I prefer to have a phone with easily removable battery.

[@dameonjones3102]

Yo I love this comment so much!!They piss me off with this.

[@bassdrop33]

Amazing. Now I can finish. I only removed battery. Need to take apart completely.

[@Tudomummeum]

Great. If I can figure out how to change this phone's battery I will be able to pass Astronaut school.

[@naomiberris8975]

What an idiot. To have someone do the work for you then you'll pay through the nose for what you could do yourself in 30 minutes or less. Post a vid of you doing it & we'll see your speed & workmanship then judge you on it. That's fair I'd say. Here, he proves all he did & it works at the end.

[@larrybeckham6652]

What a nightmare. Curse you, LG! Curse you and the horse you ride! Thank, Mr Gavrilov.

[@gavrilovas1]

You welcome

[@mmercier0921]

I knew i was screwed when he brought out the heat gun. Would never trust the phone again, even if authorized people did the replacement. My phones get wet, every day. I got 3 years out of it, so no big loss. Live and learn.

[@daisyriva2240]

OMG... I had no idea that you have to basically take the whole phone apart to just change the battery???!!! 🥺Apparently youu have to be a little bit of an engineer just to change a cellphone battery nowadays. 🧐 Great "How To Video".. Thanks for posting. 👍🙂

[@lifeman2k22]

All of that to remove a battery. He had to remove like 1000 screws like what?

[@robertwiley3171]

This is an outrage that the cover is glued and removing the battery for replacement will likely damage the phone. Another example of Big tec out of control.

[@gavrilovas1]

Almost every novadays smartphone have this issue battery couldn't be replaced just by simply popping up back cover

[@karenwhitsett4551]

Its waterproof thats why the back is basically glued on

[@simpinainteasy680]

In Europe all batteries have to be replaceable as required by law.

[@asher_artist]

right my phone went to crap and now ive been trying to charge it but its being super mean and not chargeing

[@robertp2124]

Fixed my phone with this video, was a loose connection. Thanks.

[@TheHayabusaman]

Awesome thank you. Only comment is 13 screws (I was hunting for 5 minutes trying to fin the other 2) and you don't need to remove the board

[@martaschwartz2986]

I agreed with you,I’m in the process of removing the battery and I just don’t see the need of removing the board ,

[@isaiahtate8942]

@@martaschwartz2986 how did it work out for you? I too do not see the need to remove motherboard

[@martaschwartz2986]

@@isaiahtate8942 it worked out very well! I could do this again in the future if need be. Thanks for asking. Have a nice rest of the week.

[@samuelogunfuye625]

I followed the video and was able to replace my battery. Thank you

[@gavrilovas1]

Yes sir, I'm glad that this tutorial helped you...

[@m.mickeypayne9811]

What a pain in the butt! This must be LG's way of getting consumers to pay more $$. Thanks for showing this though. 😎

[@gavrilovas1]

Well with apple 🍎 you will at least pay triple price...

[@ronfiveo]

I know this is an old video, a nice tutorial too. Why did you have to take out the "blue" board. It looks like you could lift out the old battery with out taking it out. Is there a reason to remove it? Thanks. Again very good "how to".

[@gavrilovas1]

Perhaps there is a way without taking it out

[@SanGerman59Holguin79]

Thank you for your video. Where did you buy the replacement battery from?

[@gavrilovas1]

on eBay and it was around 11 dollars.

[@MarqeseCobb12]

What tool did you use to take off the back covering

[@lloydewing1513]

Thanks for this video! What was the setting on that heat gun? What is the wattage of the heat gun on the setting that you used? I have trouble hearing the vocal comments; they sound muffled and rushed to me. Also, it would be very helpful to know if the back has a gasket or is it just held by glue, and if this procedure changes the phone's water resistance. I wonder if the adhesive needs to be replaced?

[@Chicomite]

A good blow dryer will put out enough heat to loosen the adhesive, so use that or a cheap heat gun from Harbor Freight, you don't need anything fancy. And doing this to a water resistant phone absolutely voids that feature out, even with new adhesive. And I'm pretty sure it's just glue, no gasket on the Stylo 4. I'm no expert, just what I've learned from fixing my own phones.

[@MA-jx6in]

Love my Stylo 2 because of this ..I love I'm able to just take out battery in 10 seconds and not go thru this bad setup

[@gavrilovas1]

That’s a good one

[@hmuphilly9129]

Do you have a stylus with that and yeah the setup is bad for the LG4 lol

[@intellectualnature9512]

Your Stylo 2 is much faster then that piece of crap people went out and bought a lesser phone back then

[@kimchee94112]

Should not call it smart phone until they make it tool-less battery replacement. Phone designer should be shot as it takes much less effort to make it easy to replace the battery. This is like jacking up my engine block and discontent surrounding components to replace the last spark plug next to the firewall on my car. I'm afraid the next smart phone version could be when they wave solder the battery terminals and encapsulate all the internal components.

[@simozouiten6402]

Great Job. Worked amazing:)

[@derekmeeks4006]

Welcome to the future. See how easy it is to change cell phone batteries now.

[@mmc054]

Will a torch work? I don't have a heat gun. Maybe I'll try something else. I believe my battery needs replaced even only having this phone for 2 years. When I try and charge it, it will show the lightening bolt but the battery will drain. Only one cord will actually charge it if there's a circle around the lightening bolt. And then I have to hold it there sometimes because if I don't it will stop. I'd really like to just throw it at the wall but I'm not stupid! I don't want to not have a phone. Plus I'm not 6 lol. Ugh I just want my phone to work damnit. 🙄 Dec. 5...update..So I just replaced my battery I didn't have a heat gun or a blow dryer so it wasn't that easy getting the back cover off. It took 2 of us lol. But the charger port is loose so I'm going to have to take it apart again and try and squeeze around it with pliers. I'm begging to wonder if I bought a new battery for nothing. Oh well I guess. I think they just put that glue strip around the phone and glue the battery in so you can't get to it so easily cause they just want you to buy a whole new phone. The old battery also felt weird. Also my finger sensor isn't working now

[@yogibear9123]

Bro thank you phone is working great thanks to u

[@ladanielm]

i traded a desktop computer for this phone LG Stylo 4, my battery works fine but i don't think i'll b removing the plate anytime soon

[@Dante00721]

After replacing the battery the display touch screen doesn't work anymore. Where did I go wrong? The battery works perfect it's not draining fast at all. Where did I go wrong

[@gavrilovas1]

Probably you didn't connect lcd touch cable back ..

[@Dante00721]

@@gavrilovas1 Thank you for responding. Do you know which one is the LCD touch cable? There is 1 table? I tested and every time I unhook it. Which is right below the battery the screen turned off. But when I hooked tobacco, the screen turned on. If that's the one you're talking about that 1 he has connected, but which 1 are you referring to? Thanks again.

[@foxyloon]

Why remove the logic board? Seems like an unnecessary extra step if you're just replacing the battery.

[@adinamamon8381]

I agree. I noticed that too. I opened my LG today to try to fix charging port. I saw the plate that sets the battery in place. I would just remove that and disconnect any necessary wires. I replaced the battery on my Kindle pretty much along these lines. Hardest part is opening it.

[@RETUSAF1995]

Replacing the battery on the LG Stylo 3 plus is a lot easier and faster. i had 3 phones since and my next phone i'am going back to the Stylo3 plus. In 2027 all phones are going back to DIY replaceable batteries, phone companies hate that.

[@gavrilovas1]

Good to know then.

[@everdreaded]

Ill never buy another LG again after this, its a friggin crime you gotta go to this much trouble to replace a friggin BATTERY in a phone and it was all by DESIGN. SCREW LG and everything BOUT THEIR COMPANY...

[@SeanLCapes]

It's water/dust resistant

[@joking_oregon1]

My charging port is messed up I got the back cover off by prying, now I gotta remove 13 screws just to remove my battery and access the port, I swear the effort these companies are going through just to stop people from fixing their own stuff or repair shops from doing it is stupid

[@gavrilovas1]

Well, this is life!

[@TheFrankyMoon]

This all started with apple now they are all doing the same. Making it so is a throw away and you're forced to buy a new one or send it back to them for repairs.

[@CJ-qj8gq]

Are there any professional representatives that will replace battery for us?

[@isaiahtate8942]

I have a legit question: Is removing the MB ABSOLUTELY necessary for removing the battery? Or can you bypass it?

[@annroda2868]

I saved my older phone for just this reason. I wanted to learn how to change the battery. With the cost of the battery & work required to change a battery, it is no wonder people just go out and buy new phones. 🙄 let's face it. Cell phone manufacturers want to ensure their revenue so they make it cheaper and easier just to get a new phone. They all have the ability to ensure a screen does not crack, but do they use it? No. 😡 They want us to get a new phone every year. My first LG phone was called The Curve, and the screen (no matter how many times you might drop it), would never touch the ground. I had that phone for five years. It was more expensive then one of the highest-ranking iPhones, but who cares. It save me money over the long run.

[@lincolnosiris]

Thanks for the video. That adhesive was a bish.

[@gavrilovas1]

correct.

[@ottomueller4425]

No need to take the whole board out.

[@jameshoney2506]

Dirtbag phone manufacturers are so desperate to get us to adopt the Apple-rape-the-customer business model. I bought this LG Stylo 4 (32gb) after getting tired of running out of memory all the time with my Stylo 3 (16gb). I erroneously assumed they would have continued their policy of user-serviceable batteries. LG suuuuuux now. And where is my FM radio???

Alexey Gavrilov That’s just dumb and stupid who in the hell wants to wait for like 30 or 10 minutes to goddamn remove a phone battery to put the new battery in I’d rather just get a Samsung galaxy S5 get a galaxy S5 battery and put it in there

[@dinscaavinsca9001]

this intentional locking battery and making it hard or impossible as voids warranty should be illegal and needs to be investigated by an oversight committee - this action is a monopolistic way of forcing customers to keep buying new phones every time their battery gets weak with age. this should be highly illegal. what's next? cars where you cannot change the battery?

[@TheOzthewiz]

By the time battery dies, phone is OUT of warranty anyway. So, what is the problem?

[@thesurvivalist.]

This is dumb, just make the phone thicker, so that we do not have to go thru this just to put in a new battery. Technology is supposed to make things easier!

[@TheOzthewiz]

It does! Just throw away OLD phone and buy a NEW one. Couldn't be simpler!!
