I was going to do the same thing, but the guy at apple said he could not change the battery because of the warped screen. Do you think that will be a big problem?

[@narwhalyt7231]

[@spanket]

Tip- Inspect screen for any discoloration after you're done. I had a purplish blue smudge mark in the middle of the screen that would go away when I opened the phone again. It was caused by the aftermarket battery being slightly thicker than normal causing pressure on the LCD from underneath. The battery had 2 layers of stickers on it for some reason, removing 1 layer alleviated this pressure and the discoloration was gone.

[@Doppo69]

There’s pull tabs at the bottom of the battery you supposed too pull them out at 90 degrees slowly and the battery comes free as long as don’t snap as you pull But that’s what the stickers are designed for

There is nothing quite like the quiet voice of authoritative competence, gently, calmly walking you through the process of tiny screws, fragile cabling, really tough extra tack sticking tape, to see you through a 6 minute job that turns into an 80 minute ordeal of patient, peering in and at impossibly small manipulations by big fingers and tiny driver heads. For a rank novice like me, it was a mostly successful op... with thanks to this really good tutorial. I am much appreciative of this man's work and manner.

[@jannaslaughter9781]

AMAZING! I NEVER comment! I was shipped the wrong battery type, so I haven't completed the instillation quite yet. BUT, when it arrives, I will be able to effortlessly complete the project. You are by far, so far, my favorite "how to" video person on KZbin to date (and I watch them often for help)!!! You are concise, clear, and a great step-by-stepper instructor. Thank You!! I watched the whole video and I know I can do this with your tutelage.

[@WendyBarron14]

Great video, very helpful. I had the same experience with my battery not wanting to come off the backing paper, but the tool kit I bought along with my battery (from Amazon) came with two guitar-pick-shaped tools, and I used one of those to pry the battery up little by little, around the edges. Going at it gently and patiently makes a difference, folks. I hope to get a couple more years out of my phone, now!

[@jennytaylor3324]

You're a masterful teacher. This was perfect. I just cannot believe how elaborate a battery change is on these things! It's for my mum. Maybe it's time for an upgrade!?

[@Al-ok1lj]

March 2023. My mom’s iPhone 5s battery finally died. She didn’t want an upgrade. She liked her phone. Thank goodness I followed your tutorial, otherwise I would have snapped that home button cable. What was Apple thinking? Other phones that I’ve opened up didn’t have a cable attached to the home button. Thanks again for your tutorial!

[@JohnWMoser]

Thanks for posting this video, very helpful. I also read some the comments before starting my battery replacement, so I did pay attention to which screws came out of each location. I wanted to avoid removing the screen, but it was impossible (for me) to get the battery to lift up from the bottom. I removed the screen as indicated, and then pried the battery out from the top. It definitely took much longer than shown in the video. I was careful not to bend the old battery excessively during removal, and did not experience any smoke, fire, or injury during the extraction. Getting the wiring clips reattached did take some doing. I did test the iPhone before closing everything up. The touch screen, and finger print button worked fine, but the phone did not pick up my voice when asking Siri a question. I reseated that wire connector, and reassembled the phone. This time everything worked fine. The new battery does seem to be discharging rather quickly. I will let it deplete to about 10% charger before recharging. I will know by tomorrow if the new battery is holding a charger better than the old one.

[@quantum.starhop]

Important!! There's a black strip running across the bottom of the battery that's connected to the glue strips. It's not the tape that wraps around the bottom of the battery; it's just below that. First, heat up the back of the phone under the battery with a hair dryer to soften the glue a bit. (If you forget to do this, the strip is likely to break when you pull on it.) Then pull the strip out slightly and snip it in half with scissors. This allows you to pull each glue strip separately. Gently, firmly, and evenly, steadily pull each strip out; there will be a squeaking noise as the glue strip stretches. Careful! If it breaks you're going to have to pry the battery out. The stretched strip gets about a foot long if you let it, but I like to grab it close to the battery so it's less likely to break prematurely. After both strips are removed, the glue is gone and the battery will lift out easily.

[@jeffscomp]

I just replaced my battery. Thanks for this good tutorial. For those who don't know or remember the screws that go on the shield that covers the screen connectors go with the two smallest ones at the bottom of the shield and the slightly bigger ones go at the two top holes to hold the shield down. Mine seems to be working ok with a battery I bought on eBay but time will tell.

I accidentally knocked my beast into some water for a few seconds. Phone detected the water and went into shut down (As opposed to electrical failure.) and I madly went searching for my phone tools. Got the screen off and battery disconnected, and let it air out in the really hot dry air here at the moment, with a fan blowing on it. 12 hours later, followed the second half of the video, and phone is back together and appears to be working properly.

Wanted to say thanks to JerryRigEverything. I'm technically minded and not afraid of doing these sort of things but having your video removed the usual guess work. I report success in the battery replacement. Also wanted to add that after reassembly, I had the vertical lines/stripes on the screen issue, which to my surprise resolved itself after about an hour of use.

[@JerryRigEverything]

+D Ren72 Nice! Good job! I'm glad your screen fixed itself. BUT if it comes back or for anyone else experiencing the same lines, its usually due to an incomplete connection with the screen and the motherboard. Disconnecting and reconnecting the screen will usually get rid of those.

Used this technique just now. Cannot leave the screen attached as another video suggested because the battery is stuck so well down it has to be levered from the top, not the side - that just bent the battery = risk of immediate fire!

Brilliant video. Followed it step by step (which admittedly takes a little longer than 6 minutes when you do it yourself and start/stop the video) and I now have a fully working phone again with no damage. Thank you, sir.

[@lancebaker1374]

It is not absolutely necessary to remove the screen. Once you get it open, find a small box (about 3x3x5 inches) and put a rubber band around the box and the screen. That holds the screen vertical and out of the way.

[@thrash1337]

Just remove it, the box might slip and fall or the phone could slide on the surface. Prying the battery off the phone is not a gentle process and having tension on those thin screen cables could damage them.

[@maryannhibbard5121]

I used your video to change out my battery. After I had trouble prying out the battery I checked on another website. You go to the opposite end of the battery to access the two strips of sticky tape to get the battery out. Using your method I now need a new battery!

thank you for your excellent video! Replaced my battery and the hardest part was getting the battery off that sticky tape! We've used a manicure tool as a screw driver - it's hard thin metal fitted like a dream into those tiny screws. Screen had weird lines on when re-starting but discovered the old battery bend the plate under the screen and when pushing it back into the frame caused the lines. The weird blue vertical line running from top to bottom which appeared on my screen a few weeks ago was a warning sign of a battery on it's way out of my phone - it actually pushed the screen from the frame while we were sleeping, only noticed it halfway through the next day. Only 'damage' on my phone after 4 years of use, not a single scratch on it or any other issues - super impressed with iPhone

[@ZGuitar93]

I've watched and used a lot of your videos to much success, but this video is a dangerous situation waiting to happen (and it did). You should really make a note that most older iPhone 5S's batteries WILL NOT come out easily. I ended up breaking mine in the middle causing smoke and cuts on my left hand (the one I was prying it up with) due to the battery casing breaking. For anyone watching this with a semi old iPhone 5S, DO NOT FORCE THE BATTERY. I would try iFixit's method of cutting the battery removal tab and pulling the adhesive strips out from under the battery instead. At least put an annotation to warn your viewers!

[@trobert132]

Heat is your friend if you can use it in the proper way. Apply some heat with a hairdryer on the back plate where the battery is located evenly. Try to pry it every once in a while from different angles to see if it loosens. Use the metal frame as a support for the plastic pry tool and never try to force it under the battery or you'll damage the ribbon cable on the top section. The battery is not 100% flush to the case so I always find a good spot for leverage.

[@DaisyReese]

Mine was apparently very old. The battery itself was mushy so as I tried to pry it up it was bending as if the battery casing was full of play dough. I ended up using tweezers to bend off the edges closest to the phone case (not the parts side) then slowly shoving a credit card under it and wiggling it. It took all about 15mins of gently push, rug and wiggle. I ended up with an uber deformed looking old battery. Very glad I removed the screen. No way I could have removed the battery with the screen attached and not damaging the ribbons.

User beware that the screws removed from the display cable shield (4) all different sizes. 2- 1.7MM, 1- 1.3MM, 1- 1.2MM. Make sure they go in the same place that they were removed from or you will end up with the Apple reboot loop ;-)

While I'm sure this vid was made with the best intention, this in NOT AT ALL how you are supposed to do it! 1. You are not supposed to pry the battery (this could break the battery and harm your iphone and YOU) , instead the adhesive strips underneath the bat. have TABS located at the BOTTOM END which will allow you to pull them out without moving the bat. 2. Putting a wrong (too long) screw in the bottom right hole of the mainboard assembly plate will PERMANENTLY DAMAGE YOUR MAINBOARD, and you will have to get a new one. If unsure, better leave this one hole unscrewed (pun intended)!

[@erikyoung1565]

Worked like a champ, take your time and be patient/organized. Pay special care on the battery removal to avoid bending. If you pry the one end of the battery up enough at the bottom of the phone (avoiding the computer stuff at the very bottom you can press the plastic tool under the battery as far as you can to lift more straight instead of bending the battery which is bad. Mine started to smell when it bent so I shoved the plastic tool under the battery far as i could from the area towards the bottom of the phone and it straightened out and finally came loose. As you shove it under the battery it should start to lift and straighten. Good luck!

[@ejhermans3790]

When lifting the battery the same way you did, it bent and then caught fire! The whole phone burnt out. You should remove the sticky tape first by pulling it sideways from the the top down.

[@jasperwhyte9227]

Scorpio Rabbit the batterys are all made like that and you need to heat the back up and that well soften the tape that holds it in place then it well come off a little easier

[@arthill2310]

Also, folding those batteries can cause them to "rapidly discharge". (burst into flames.) Avoid.

[@dreamabyss5423]

@@arthill2310 Exactly why this should not be attempted by someone who doesn't know what they are doing. Extremely dangerous.

there are adhesive strips under the battery that must be removed. find a different video regarding 5s battery relacement

[@deanclippard2963]

Just replaced my battery in my 5S. Thank you for such a calm and detailed tutorial.. When I snapped it all back together... It "WORKED"! My wife said: Quote... You're going to have that thing all screwed up, it will never work again! Surprise... It works!!!! Thank You!

[@highlandswebclass]

You know it's not that easy. For EVERYONE who actually needs to do this, it is very hard to get the battery off. It's always easy to do on a phone that has never been used as it's not that sticky. What advice do you have for actual phones that have been used for a year or so? A heat gun? Or pry and bend the battery until the batter is damaged? And install a new battery? Thanks

[@JerryRigEverything]

Marcel Jones Yes, you can use a heatgun. I explain a little more in my iphone 6 video.

[@maryshapiro7274]

Wow. THANK YOU! Excellent video: your verbal explanations, the tambor of your voice "You're gonna love it.. "; the sharpness and speed of the visual (I like real time vs. trying to hit pause and rewind)

[@supervegetto1087]

If you have a friend of yours it can make the job much eaisier, just tell him to hold the screen firmly for you, that way you'll focus only on the battery and ignore the step where you disconnect and reconnect the screen cables.

[@kristinasheldon6743]

Thankfully that's what I did. My husband held my screen. It was fairly easy.

Don't try this shit. I was desperate and got the new battery. My iPhone blew up in my face, literally. I did everything he told me to up to removing the battery. I suggest you not do it because luckily, nobody got hurt.

Thanks for this video. I had this old iPhone 5s lying around and now in Sept 2020 I am replacing the battery for using this phone as a navigation device for bike rides.

[@JayTuut]

Do you have to remove the screen? Can't you just keep it at 90 degrees and not de-attach the rest of the stuff (Digitiser etc)

[@McBeaner720]

yeah i've seen people set the screen on some books but if you have a stubborn battery thats stuck do to the tape I would recommend removinig the screen

This video was much better than instructions that came with my battery. Man did I have a hard time removing the old battery....sparks and smoke etc as I was prying it up. Was worried it would explode. Other than that everything went smoothly and phone works great! Thanks for the vid!

[@projet2907]

for my iPhone 5s are the replacement batteries offered by apple better quality? I had a battery changed in a repair shop on my iPhone 4s, the iPhone is still always dead quick. These 2 phones have been unlocked' I find that after unlocking it cuts the daily batterie life in half, why do you think? Thank you for this very great video

[@TeamTeddy666]

all replacement batteries are from iphones. it is very hard and expensive to make an iphone battery. but, iphone 5s batteries are better than all previous including iphone 5c

Actually, if u look at replacement batteries online, you will find that all look the same, but there is a wide range of pricing. You can pick up a battery for iPhone 5s for anywhere from $5 to $50. But don't let looks fool you. From experience, MOST (not all) of the more expensive batteries hold charge for longer, and just seem to have better battery health. Yes it is true that these batteries are very hard to make, so no bootleg company is gonna be able to make these. But that doesn't mean all batteries are created equal. I wish I could tell you as to how or why this happens. I don't know. It may be that the cheaper batteries are taken from the plant at some point before they've been finished and tested. Or once a battery is made, they test them and if they don't have a high enough voltage, they may throw them out where they're picked up and distributed somehow. Who knows. But fact remains, a new battery from apple is just that, new. The battery u buy online for $5 may say new, but is it? Conspiracy.. apple did admit to throttling phones performance based on battery life.

I did it!! I followed your instructions and my iPhone 5s has a brand new battery. And the good news is it turns on and works. I did not break anything. Thank you Apple for making your proprietary phone a miniature laptop computer complete with micro screws and delicate cables. A very difficult replacement and a tough re-assemble process. I do understand now why they charge so much to replace a simple battery in the blasted things. My phone will not get the new iOS 13 system but I will still love it and continue to use it in the many months ahead. Just sentimental value and I'm cheap.

[@sburton015]

I'm thinking about changing the battery out of my 5s. Doesn't look too hard, mainly allot of patience. Although it won't get iOS 13, in sure the 5s should still be able to run all of the latest apps for at least the next 2 to 3 years on iOS 12.3.1.

Great Tutorial, i admire you patience and hand coordination, especially because i tore open my case, broke a cable, lost 3 screws and ended up with my power button and home button and screen not working. Basically i plugged it in and i stared at my not working phone for a good half hour. Rip, time for an android...

[@Goblin4461]

Why can't it be simple like an android???

[@ojomann1]

iPhone are for simple minds, Android are for true hackers ;) But hardware replacement and service on Apple products are just a proof that they keep service people in... service :p

[@ojomann1]

Let me rephrase: People buy iPhone because they are simpler ;)

[@steveturnbull9869]

not really i've had androids all my life and recently got an iphone as i got sick of ghost touch on my last two android phones. I now have a 5s and it''s a joy to use it just "works" so now i'd rather buy an iphone as I want a phone that's reliable and not prone to dodgy cheap screens. Most android 5.5" screens have ghost touch issues eventually, just google it as they all come from the same factories in China using cheapo components in the screen sensors and also badly positioned sensors that overheat with time and become damaged.

[@ojomann1]

I'm android user because it's "open source" and thus can be modified. Never had anything bigger than 5.2" though and will stick to that as my biggest. Now I don't doubt iPhone quality (and apple as such), but as the tech I am, everything I have is rooted and modified of some sort. Together with the proprietary solutions apple uses, my choice is "simple" :) I should mention that (in general) the components used in expensive android gadgets are as good as apple's. You get what you pay for. And android have a plethora of different devices to choose from. Apple is one only (ofc the -s -c -plus variants or whatever they call them) ;)

[@steveturnbull9869]

sure and i have also rooted fire tablets, samsung galaxy note phones with various roms, to be honest rooted does not = better imo. Usually they come with their own bugs and quirks and rooting devices is not that difficult, non-technical people just think it is. Rooting devices just sounds cool and geeky. I would most likely still be with android if it wasn't for the poor build quality. I'm sure Samsung S7 and other premium android phones are decent build quality but then i'd be paying almost as much as an Iphone and at least with Iphone it's only a single platform so the apps very rarely crash in my experience, they are much more robust than the apps on android which has to cater for a variety of hw platforms and many variants of Android OS.

Great informative video. If you purchase a replacement battery on Amazon, most vendors include an adequate toolkit for the job. A bit of moisture on the suction cup helps increase grip. After unplugging the cable to the upper half, I just hinged it back at 90 degrees, held it in place with a clamp and was able to removed the battery without all the steps (and risks!) involved in disconnecting the screen entirely.

[@ericdguru]

Thank you. Replacing the battery in 2020 I found the glue or sticky stuff holding the old battery in place very solid and required a substantial amount of pressure to remove it, more than the plastic tool could handle (it broke) and I had to use a metal lever, The old battery was destroyed in the removal process. I was very careful not to raise the screen more than 90 degrees, but the cables were very stiff, as though they had dried out and when I first put the phone back together there were vertical lines on the screen and it was unresponsive, I took it apart again and attempted to re-seat the cables at the screen end by taking off the camera and pressing them in. This worked for the touch responsiveness, but the vertical lines were still there (although much faded), they disappeared after about 10 minutes of use. Phone seems to be working fine now - well worth the effort.
