iPhone 7 Battery Replacement - Ripped Adhesive

[@danpatrick2175]

I had the adhesive rip recently when replacing the battery of an iphone SE (Gen 1). I found that using a hair dryer to warm the back of the phone for about a minute softened the adhesive enough to make removing the battery much easier. The hair dryer along with the tips shown in this video should make dealing with torn adhesive strips much less of a headache.

I just finished my battery replacement. I heated the back of the phone with a hair dryer, I needed a sharper metal prying tool to start the separation process then used the plastic tool. I did not remove the screen, I was careful not to put pressure on the ribbons and left the suction cup on to hold up the screen so it did not try to separate from the body very much. I did not remove the taptic machine as in other videos. That saved a lot of time. Trust Me the fewer screws you remove the better!! They are the size of a grain of sand and require a very steady hand to reinstall!!! Extremely easy to lose drop or misplace! My inner tape strip broke off at the start point so I pried up the battery at that end (from the outside) to regain the grip and pulled it right out. The new battery works great.

I find it allot easier to remove the battery adhesive by first removing the taptic engine. then you can pull it out more horizontally and it rips less

why on earth would you reuse a battery that has been bent that much?

I really HATE Apple for doing this this way!, why not use a bracket with screws? or somethin "easier" to replace! FUCK!

How come you didn't apply heat? I've found it to make this whole process a lot easier.
