Tired of your HTC One M9 battery dying? This guide is easy to follow, and will show you step by step how to safely replace your battery!

[@BusaFurian]

Thank you thank you thank you. I replaced my battery, and case with not a problem. One note however, the long black signal cable at time interval @ 3:25 from the factory sits below the two zif connectors then remerges at the bottom to connect to the board. Just FYI, otherwise excellent video, thanks again.

I just follow this video step by step and everything was perfect! I'm just change finally the battery of my phone I'm so happy, thank you for the time and very good explanation :)

[@eduard348]

Oh wow! I just ordered a new battery and I am scared I will ruin it. It looks quite complicated. Where did you get the tools from please? Do you have professional ones or just those which can be bought with battery? Anyways Congratulations!

[@botibomaus]

@@eduard348 i just did the battery exchange too and it works perfectly, i just bought a smartphone repair kit on amazon with all the screwdrivers and what not youd need, the htc one m9 battery was also included as it was a repair kit for the purpose of replacing the battery in the htc one m9

Thanks for the video quite helpful, though when I tried to power up my phone nothing, it was dead. I pulled it apart checked all connections, still not starting up. It was time for a new phone anyway. Thanks

[@pochopsp]

fantastic video, thanks to you I was able to repair my phone.

I don't have any experience repairing phones and was able to do this battery swap successfully. This can be done on the cheap and without all the tools!! Not that I'd recommend that of course! Hardest part was separating the back cover from the main body tbh. I didn't have any good prying tool so had to force a gap open using a tiny flat head screwdriver so I could squeeze in a guitar pick to pry with. By doing this I slightly lifted the screen in one spot so now I get a little bit of backlight bleed there although it's barely noticeable. That's the only damage I suffered tho. Anyway, be careful with this part of the process - having a proper pry tool will help a lot. Other than that I'd say make sure you got fine tip tweezers. I only had regular tweezers which were pretty much useless. I mostly used my fingers and a tiny flat head screwdriver to lift/pushdown the connectors. You can use your fingers with most of the flex connectors. It's doable without them but the fine tip tweezers will just make the process a whole lot less annoying. Last thing I'll say is make sure you've plugged in the battery connector to the mainboard properly. When I finished initially my phone wouldn't turn on. I found that even though I'd screwed the battery connector down, the plug underneath wasn't actually plugged into the small port on the mainboard. I unscrewed it and plugged it in properly and wal-lah. Unfortunately for me, the screw plate on the flex cable doesn't align with the screw holes on on the mainboard which is incredibly annoying. That's what I get for buying a $10 battery I guess. I had to angle the screws a bit and not screw them in hard - just enough so that they put a bit of downward pressure on the connector. Leaving the connector plugged in without the screws let the phone boot but it would not charge or read the charge level properly.

[@zabroseric]

Thanks! That's exactly what my issue was as well. :)

[@federicowilckensclaussen]

same here! check the battery connector!

I went through a similar learning curve, but that was okay. My biggest problem is now that when I tried to remove the original battery, I accidently ripped the power / volume button keys ribbon cable as it was going over the battery and the space there was very limited. So i now have to order the whole Power and Volume Buttons Cable, Proximity Sensor, and SD Card Reader, take apart my phone again and then fix that one.... Slightly annoying, but that's just the way it is. Perhaps Repairs Universe could add some annotations to the video to be careful about those points we made.

i ordered a repair kit off amazon with a "proper" pry tool..shaped like a guitar pick...ill have you know the tool is now broken in several places and my right index finger is suffering real bad lol! i did have to reopen it like 3 times because i had issues with the camera...but turns out it wasnt a connectivity issue...all i had to do was clear cache/data in app settings and start the camera after holding the phone horizontally and it worked perfectly again from there on!

[@HighBoss]

@@kissdomi That's funny. About a year after my original comment I replaced the battery a second time and ripped the same cable. It's an easy mistake to make because that ribbon cable just barely goes over that corner of the battery so when you pry the battery up at enough of an angle it will rip it. The battery needs to get stuck down quite hard by the glue so I think prying the battery up like that is what most people would do but you really need to be careful and try to pull the battery out and back rather than lift it.

[@marcusdibattista5620]

I did the repair and everything works fine except the top speaker is getting really hot and wont work. neither will my camera does anyone know how to fix that?

[@mcardoni]

I tried this and ruined my phone. I would not advise trying this unless it's a last resort.

[@heavenlysedated4906]

mcardoni Thanks for the heads up, looks like too much trouble

[@Bik3rboy666]

My phone will not charge anymore, Im not sure is the charging port because it looks fine but I get a burn rubber smell from it so i think is the battery that got fry. I no longer have warranty on the phone would you recomend any other options or am I on the last resort (change battery)???

[@l00klikea]

did it was ez pz git gud

[@alexoelkers2292]

L00klikea x yeah sure you did. I suggest taking it to a professional

[@carlkarl7687]

do it ! For me was the same, same smell from inside.. half an hour to remove the melted battery. Now it's like gelatin ahha

[@DrRon1957]

Perfect, Thank You for a clear concise instructional video, I had seen that the M9 was hard to do, but this worked out well with your video and for $18, I put a new battery in it , and was sent the tools to do it also. Lucky I had other items to work with , because plastic tools are soft, but it works and Thank You !!!

[@Sal-ir7bd]

Does the battery you bought still work? Can you just send me the link that you bought from and give me feedback on it. Thank you

[@uffa91]

Thanks... I did it, but my phone had a lot of tape, just to make it difficult arrgh

[@andresdiaz6207]

I changed the battery on my HTC One M9 but now I have problems with the WIFI and Bluetooth recepcion . when i try co connect to my net's house WIFI says Signal strenght Poor and shows just one of the bars or nothing at all; just when I put the phone close to the router It gets excellent connection quality. meanwhile bluetooth conects intermitently to my car's stereo. any sugestions here, Thanks.

[@riddendaddy]

ANDRES DIAZ sounds like you didn't hook up the wires correctly to those items...

[@szakika001]

Perfect, Thank You!

[@LeeNightmare]

[@laurentiujurj2152]

Just perfect. Very helpful, thank you!

[@Repairsuniverseusa]

Thanks for watching!

[@pritamshah6699]

Did you got android update on htc one m9??

[@riddendaddy]

Was this narrated by the same guy that does "how it's made"? If not they have very similar voices!!!

[@tkellercdxx]

I WAS THINKING THAT THE WHOLE TIME!!!!

[@LukeGB003]

They sound nothing alike

[@tomsharples816]

Nice job, but you need to be highly skilled to pull it off. I was able to do it (for my GF's phone) but have I have many years wireless assembly and repair experience. This phone is a !@#$%^ nightmare of glued-together surfaces and fragile connectors, and was clearly not designed with service in mind. Extreme caution advised.

[@botibomaus]

I am a complete noob woman and I just did this for the last 3 hours and managed to make it work perfectly, nothing faulty at all so i am super hyped lol

[@75erErnstHaft]

Great. Thx

[@lezaza7224]

Thanks for the help

[@Mortal-san]

the inside looks so messy compard to an iphone but this badboy has served me well for the last 6 years. might as well just change the battery…

[@ASHMAN750]

that's pretty hard for unprofessional people like me so I'll just try to figure out another Way to reboot my phone that's giving me blacks screen
