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.

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!

Great video for sure. The adhesive strips you’re referring to under the batter are like the 3M picture hanger strips.

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 :-) )

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

My nokia 2012 model can just take the back cover off and replace the battery

Grumpy OldMan you act like you need a PHD to remove the battery, 30 minutes time and a 21000 mah batter pack and you don't need to switch out a battery because the battery will last and that portable battery can charge the phone up to seven times.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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 👍👍👍👍👍👍
