Took iphone 6 in to have the battery replaced, professionally. Within 6 months phone started to shut off on its own and noticed something inside was moving when it was shook. The shutting off got worse and after watching your video realized the only thing that could be loose was the battery. Thought the cold weather we have made the adhesive not work. Had to order the a screwdriver set plus got the adhesive strip from your link. When I took the iphone apart as per your instructions the battery had no adhesive at all. I had paid $80 to have the battery replaced and did it because I figured they would do it right. If I had taken it back to them they could have kept quiet on the missing adhesive and charged me more. Have it done now and feel good that I did it myself. Thanks for showing what it looked like if not connected properly. I had that happen so would have freaked out if I had not seen it happen on this video. Appreciate you putting this video out there.

[@ubreakitirepairit3569]

This man could also cause people to mess their phone up because he did not disconnect the battery when disconnecting and reconnecting the screen. Disconnecting / reconnecting the screen w/o disconnecting the battery, can cause you to blow out the back light of the display.

I had installed a new battery in my wife's 6plus and whenever I tested it the screen would be fine, then it would go blank or it would keep shifting around. I checked your video and noticed how you made sure the battery connection fit into the groove properly. I opened the phone and sure enough the connection was crimped. I carefully straightened it out, tested and closed the phone and it worked perfectly. Showing the troubles possible in the install is a VERY valuable inclusion. Great video!

[@androidangel787]

I followed this video in its entirely from beggining to end 3 times before I attempted the battery replacement. Even while I was changing the battery, I was watching it. End result: everything went smooth and not a single problem rose from it. Watch the video a couple of times, specially if it is your first time doing it ( like in my case).

[@bassinbillRC5300]

I followed the instructions outlined and described in this video while at our local Starbucks last week when meeting a customer who needed a new battery in his iPhone 6. Ten minutes from sit down to new battery usage and charge/discharge verbal instructions to him was a slam dunk. Thank you video poster.

[@TeamProsperity]

Great video for sure. The adhesive strips you’re referring to under the batter are like the 3M picture hanger strips. You pull the tab downward and the 3M strip releases from the wall doing zero drywall damage so these work in the same manor. This is by far one of the BEST instructional videos I’ve ever seen! Hands down! Great job!

[@murphymmc]

First battery replacement video that didn't take shortcuts and have the tech show the back of his hand more than the work being done. Very good my friend, I just did a replacement, smooth as silk as per your directions. Even the adhesive tape did precisely what you said it would. Many thanks. For all you nerdy detractors, learn what teaching is about, this video teaches.

I found the screwed up display problem very useful. After almost having given up, I found your video. Because you included this error in your video, I decided to re-examine the integrity of all connections and found the problem. Even though they seem to be connected, you can't be sure unless you heard them actually 'click' into position. A useful lesson. All is well now. Thank you.

[@Demy26]

You rock. The tip about removing the adhesive tape was fantastic

[@RichardRobinsonStudio]

Thanks so much for your detailed instructions! Followed it step by step and all went smoothly, except I snapped the second sticky. When pulling out the sticky from beneath the battery be sure to do it nice and slow and do everything you can to not snap it because it's a real pain to pry the battery out when you can no longer reach the ends of the sticky. Also be aware that if you puncture a lithium battery they can catch on fire and explode when their internals are exposed to air, so take care. If you do have to pry the battery out, think about what you'll do if the battery catches fire. Be prepared. (No that didn't happen to me :-) )

[@Andrea-gp1xn]

Yeah, mine bent in half. I put it out on the driveway, where it couldn't catch anything on fire if it exploded. Hopefully. XD

I followed your steps, and made sure the adhesive strips were installed correctly, and my phone started up just fine. Thank you once again.

You're welcome and glad that you were able to replace your battery on your own! Thanks again for you positive comment!

[@who8dapple]

Excellent instruction video Jim, thank you! I was able to replace the battery on my iPhone 6S in about 25 minutes. I opted to leave the screen connectors in place by simply securing my work against a stack of heavy books. That was enough to maintain that important 90 degree angle that you mentioned. If I could share a simple suggestion...I found that using a 2" wide strip of painters tape useful in safely keeping track of all the tiny screws. You'll need to secure the sticky side up of coarse, and then continue with the location/placement you suggested in the video. Thanks again - Mel

[@GadgetFanatek27]

Thank you very much for this information as you certainly can replace the battery without removing the screen as you mentioned. Great comment!

[@oliverabrajanovska9610]

During was watching the video I had the idea to lye the open screen against books in 90° so not to have to disconnect the connectors of the screen

[@livegoodpaducah]

Couple issues with this repair. 1. You used a metal spudger to remove the screen. You should have used a plastic opening tool. 2. Once you got to the battery, you then pried on the circuit board side. If it becomes necessary to pry, pick the side with the volume buttons. That way you don't risk damaging the circuit board. Alternatively, you can apply a little amount of heat on the bottom of the phone, on the battery side.Other than those two major mistakes, good quality video and good useful information.

[@fridakalota370]

for how long do u apply heat???

[@livegoodpaducah]

Aventurera I wouldn't go longer than 15 seconds each time. apply some heat, pry. Add a little heat as you go

[@evelaye173]

Bake it in the oven with the tuna casserole for 15 minutes....yes I'm a smartass. I would be careful adding any heat. I've yet to see anyone whip out a blow dryer.

[@dalebeaudet3201]

One of the securing tapes broke half way through removing. (Had already successfully one of the two) I used a heat gun on the outside of the compartment held by hand so I could judge the temperature. I heated until it was uncomfortably to touch the outside of case where the battery was. (Also could just start to smell adhesive) I let sit for a couple minutes then reheated, trying to give time for heat to sink into adhesive. Used two small plastic prying tools on side of battery that adhesive had been removed. Pried slowly alternating between tools until loose.

[@JimTMcDaniels1]

Thanks Say The problem with the first replacement battery not holding a charge may be a cheap brand. I watched a video on testing replacement batteries and it found many brands aren't as good as the original Apple battery and recommended the good brands. I wish there was a larger capacity replacement battery. Why does apple make these tiny hard to hold phones a bigger with larger batteries.....? Lol I like to start with damp hands to stop any static on my dry hands. The pentalope screws are terrible and heads strip and I have to use a small flat driver bit on them to turn.

[@locallycrackeddroning5358]

As an Itech myself, this was an informative video with a few issues in my opinion... I would ALWAYS remove the battery connection FIRST, then pressing power button to remove any charge still in the phone, prior to removing the other flex cables. Once having the battery in place with adheasive undo the connector, reconnect the other flex cable and then the battery flex cable to be replaced last. Also if doing the repair on anything above a 6s Using a ESD mat for extra protection of the device.

[@GadgetFanatek27]

I do appreciate your input Rob!

[@kennethnichols7263]

I agree totally. Plugging and unplugging hot connectors is not a good idea.

[@TeamProsperity]

Nicely done! Disconnect battery first. The other thing is you don’t actually have to remove the screen connectors. It’s just convenient to get it out of the way but as long as you have the opened screen supported at 90 degrees solidly, no need to remove it. Remove adhesive strips, battery, replace strips, battery, reconnect, lower screen and power on to test. The less you have to mess with these little micro connectors, the better off you are. Don’t disturb anything you don’t have to.

Excellent video, it greatly helped me to change my iPhone 6 battery today. I did not remove the screen and let its connectors in place, thus greatly simplifying the overall procedure. I just made sure the screen would remain vertical by making it lean against a large book. My battery was an original iPhone one, and I tried the trick of pulling the tab to get the ribbon out, butI never made it through: it broke in my hands and I had to seriously damage the old battery in order to remove it. Maybe I should have heated the back of the phone before proceeding. Anyway, the job is done, my phone has a decent battery life again!

Josh UA Not only that, when removing the battery its also a good idea to remove the battery opposite of the components. Mainly because you damaged the parts, its good to removed from the frame away from the parts.

[@XYJG910]

Very Good ! The only thing I did different was I removed the vibrator directly underneath the battery so I could pull the adhesive strips almost straight out, a tip I seen on another video, and they both came out easily without tearing. Works just like the 3M Command strips, if you have used them to hang anything on a wall or door. I had the lines in the screen first try, pulled the screen connectors and reattached.I personally found the connectors, and screws difficult to get back in. I finally laid a small piece of rubber on top of the phone near the bottom and used blue masking tape to fasten it to the table top and braced the screen against a carton so I could use both hands to be sure I was getting the connectors properly aligned. Worked well for me.

[@MetalMike50]

Grumpy OldMan You must own an old Nokia phone, playing snake all day long

[@CurmudgeonExtraordinaire]

The Nokia that I had many years ago did not have games for it. It was a phone, nothing more. I've had batteries die on me such that even with a power adapter plugged into it, the phone still would not work. In these types of situations, there is something wrong with the battery and it needs to be trashed, not just recharged. As such, those portable battery packs would not work. I have had long international flights where there were no wall outlets to recharge a phone during a layover at a foreign airport, so it's nice to just keep a few extra batteries for the phone and swap them out as needed. I don't see this being possible with phones that are using this sort of battery design. For those phones whose batteries have caught on fire, I wonder if all of them have been with these hard wired type of batteries instead of the batteries that have cases around them. The companies save a couple of cents and a couple of grams by not putting the hard case batteries in the phone, but the are taking away capability that I find very useful. I wish the people who review the phones would start pointing this out as problem with the phone designs so that maybe the manufacturers will realize that it is a braindead idea.

Excellent tutorial, thanks for putting this out there, there's only one area i would emphasise on , when the phone is opened and the screen is lifted , firstly disconnect the battery before screen removal then after the battery is fitted, connect the battery power after the screen is connected, it really is important to do this sequence otherwise you might blow something if the screen connections touch the wrong phone connections. I learned this the hard way, i did your method and without noticing must have blown the motherboard and lost the phone, i couldn't get it working again. Hope this helps everyone out there.

Good video. A couple of helpful hints: He is working on a phone that was not "virgin" as it had already had a battery replacement. I opened my virgin phone, and it was very hard to get the screen to separate from the base. There is a fitted seal along the bottom of the phone that is adhesive and tends to make opening the phone more difficult than as shown in this video. I placed the suction cup near the bottom left hand corner of the phone to get a gap showing. Really had to pull that cup to get any kind of gap showing. I then had to insert a very small metal screw driver to hold the gap, then use the various plastic tools in the kit to gradually pry the screen loose from the base. As some others had mentioned, I would recommend not taking the screen off; just keep the screen at a 45 to 90 degree angle while working. Disconnect the battery as shown, pull the adhesive tabs out from under the battery, remove the battery, fit new battery in position to adjust connector strap, apply adhesives, position battery and attach connector. I plugged the phone in and got a stable screen, snapped the screen in and screwed the bottom screws-done.

I watched your video and followed your instructions step by step, now my phone works perfectly! Thanks for the detailed video.

OMG! You saved the day!! I followed ALL the steps and also had the black/white lines after I turned it on. I’m so happy you mentioned that it was “a possibility” to get those lines if you DON’T hear a SNAP ON with the 4 connections on the logic board, and you showed it & fixed it. I thought I had them snapped until I tried to restart... 30:20 into video was the solution! Great video!1

Gadget Fanatek, This was my first time working on my own phone, and I am very glad I found your video. I ordered a new battery from Power Bear on Amazon and their instructions were very sketchy. THANK YOU. I would have paid for this. I am now a fan.

[@Andrea-gp1xn]

I highly appreciate this! The battery I ordered explained literally nothing. This was absolutely perfect. :)

Fantastic step by step tutorial, As you said not a hard job but to someone who had never opened, or used an iPhone for that matter it was perfect. I installed a new battery in my partners iPhone 6 and the Job went perfectly 1st time. The eBay seller of the battery also sent it with 74% charge.

Dude You rock!! Great tutorial. Replaced my battery although the battery was rough to get out and my tape snapped. But your tutorial got my back on track. My phone now has a fresh battery done “ The Right Way!

You're very welcome and thank you for the positive comments Keith!

I made a right angle fixture to hold the phone screen at 90 degrees with a Velcro wrap and put weights on it with a lead bag. It worked great and allowed the screen to be held without putting undo stress on the screen connectors. your video was great!

Thank you and glad my video was helpful for you!

Great video, you have a pleasant voice and demeanor! I love the evidence of you being out at the club the night before. :) I wanted to share a couple of tips. I use some double stick tape to rest the screws on, since I've more than once jostled a table and gotten them mixed up. I didn't have a magnetized screwdriver, but since most batteries come with installation drivers, just put the smallest strongest magnet you may have around the house on the shaft of the screwdriver to magnetize it. (I used a couple of neodymium bucky balls)

A very sound demo. Yes, a little hesitant in places but when doing such a job for the first time it was a superb lesson.

[@RAPHA-1982]

This video was beautiful. I just did the replacement just now. Took only a couple minutes. That trick you showed to pull the sticky tape out worked like a charm! I seen other videos suggesting heat guns and all that. I didn't like that approach. The pull tabs made it so much easier. Did the job in minutes and the battery works. Thanks a lot man great video 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Outstanding video Gadget Fanatek! My iphone 6S only had 3 connectors to the LCD screen (thankfully). Your video got me through replacing the battery with no problems! Thank you!

[@WizardPaul]

G'day mate, thanks heaps for your totally useful video from Australia. I followed your lead and replaced my wife's iPhone battery successfully. Now she doesn't have to replace her phone.

When I was scrolling through videos to watch, I didn’t know if the length was good or bad, but I clicked on it and it was the best. You explained everything. Thanks
