iPhone 8 Battery Replacement

[@NomadicDmitry]

I've just completed the replacement and want to thank you for that guide. It was very useful. Especially thanks for noting the screws lengths - this was super helpful! A few things I would add here for those who are completing this task: 1) Pull Tabs can really break off. Be careful with those and if you break those - use a credit card or a similar object to life the old battery. Honestly, that was the only way I was able to remove the battery. 2) Do some screws management and have a nice area to work on. It took me some time to actually screw those back in place. 3) Power on your phone after you connect all the cable and before you re-assemble. Just make sure that it powers on. That power cable takes some time to plug into and any minor movement disconnects it. That's why we need to make sure that phone powers on. 4) Check that camera works, button, operate etc after you turned it on. 5) If all good - assemble. You phone is back to being a brand new. iPhone 8 in 2021? No problem!

Thanks!

I really appreciated the straight forward detailed instructions. I was no where near as smooth as you, though I doubt this was your first time. I launched one of the screws across the table during reassembling and was blessed when my wife actually found it. In the end the phone is up and working so thank you very much

[@wordsmith2224]

Thank you for stating where the screws went specifically the size relative to their placement.

@Harold Uriel i really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and im in the hacking process now. Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.

@Harold Uriel It worked and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy:D Thank you so much you saved my account!

[@harolduriel2396]

@Ryder Silas you are welcome :D

[@martynh5410]

This is an easy job other than removing the old battery. Had to carefully pry it out. Entire job takes about 30 mins. Screws are small so be careful and watch the different length screws, as noted in this video. Since you may damage the old battery removing it, I recommend running the phone until it’s discharged before starting.

[@billcrystal]

Thanks to you I probably saved 100 bucks by replacing my battery myself and it was a good explanation of where the screws were as well. Thank you

[@basedCoding]

One comment a would like to make regarding this is it seems the lcd connector can be reseated wrong, reseated it about 10 times and still no picture, thought for sure i had damaged the flex cables even though i was super careful, turns out though that you should try to reseat it as far to the left as possible.

[@Saiphs]

This guy made it look so easy. I'm a bit of a moron so it took me a couple hours to swap the battery...

[@oceanbnd]

GRIBSOFT, your video is the best I’ve seen at doing this. Thanks for your hard work. I’m now a subscriber.

[@dibjr]

Just a bit of advice. Remove the battery connection first. That will keep you from doing any unintentional arc welding.

[@martynh5410]

Also, it will be good practice (just before doing the replacement) to run the phone until the battery is at 0% charge and shuts itself off. That way, any inadvertent shirt won’t blow the battery, or wiring up.

[@dibjr]

And one other tip from my recent replacement: connect the new battery before you set the adhesive, as the connection cable is quite rigid and if the battery is seated a little off, it is difficult to mate the connector. I screwed up the connector so the control signal didn't connect. I got no charging or battery status indicator on the phone. I created a paper weight for myself.

[@martynh5410]

@@dibjr Just completed this and I did what you just suggested. All appears to be working fine (using the iPhone to reply here)!!

[@dibjr]

@@martynh5410 One of my other issues is I'm 79 and have cataracts, so my vision isn't that great. I use really bright LED lighting and can handle laptop scale connectors just fine, but phone stuff is just too small! Hopefully, I'll be able to get surgery soon and be good for another 15 years. ;)

[@martynh5410]

@@dibjr Well my eyes aren’t the greatest but I was able to do this. I’m 67 and I have had two detached retina surgeries in my left eye and cataracts removed from both eyes. I did it okay but the three connectors are pretty small. The tiny screws are really tiny! It does help that the small screwdriver was magnetic enough that it held the screws for me while I aimed for the holes. You will need to do this on table where the screws can be found if you drop any.

[@timrabak3812]

Excellent video :) Just want to add that using a hair dryer to warm the back will help soften the adhesive to get that battery out. Someone else mentioned to check everything before putting it back together. I had a problem with the battery cable connection, it looked good but wasn't. When I turned the phone the battery was reading 65% and quickly dropped to 27%. After unplugging and replugging the battery connection, it's working like a charm! Thanks again!

[@stevedent4250]

Thank you for providing a thorough tutorial for the iphone 8 battery replacement!. It helped me through my first phone battery replacement.

[@ronkawasaki1896]

How much does it cost for battery replacement I love my I phone 8

[@richarda3659]

You're the only person who ever mentions that Apple uses screws of all different lengths on the shields, so you can put them back in the right place. Thanks for that.

[@FrancoCoccini]

search for "long screw damage iphone".

[@richarda3659]

This is really important: (1) Disconnect the battery first, to prevent electronic damage, and (2) why didn't you replace the waterproof seal?

[@alexmclellan2551]

P

[@PureFascinationFilms]

I wanted to know what was up with that as well

[@rizqinm3697]

Number 2, no need to add some glue?

[@brucedexter9607]

Phone came apart with no trouble. Had trouble with tearing of the strips on battery but was able to pull battery loose with no problem. It went together easily except for water proof strips that came with battery kit didn't stick well. Phone works great again! Video was very helpful.

[@richarda3659]

Those waterproof strips are *really* hard to get to work. You can skip the waterproofing - phone of course still works, but you gotta be more careful after that and avoid water.

[@Mar-gb6sh]

I want to get one rather then paying soemoen is it worth it

[@davidmerian5632]

When I replaced my screen for my iPhone SE (2020), your video and demo were super helpful for me. They gave me the confidence to undertake this repair as well as the appropriate instructions to repair my phone properly. Thanks so much for posting!

[@Backcountryhiker]

What is the reason for disconnecting the screen and other connections? And does the battery have to be plugged in BEFORE you plug in all the other ribbon cables? Thanks.

[@goopygonch]

i am unsure what went wrong but my home button no longer works, i assume i have to replace that part individually?

[@BertdeJ]

The point of disconnecting the screen eludes me and I don't understand what this is needed for.

[@freddysflyz]

Does this repair require heating the iPhone to loosen adhesives? Thanks for the video!

[@nomadhedge]

If phone is old, yes. Always do that.

[@thor4318]

I’m sure there’s a good reason why but do you have to disconnect the screen completely surly you can just unplug and plug in the new one

[@AlmadenJeff]

Did you mention that reassembly without a new screen adhesive loses waterproofing?

[@seansean8008]

Great video, very easy to follow explanation and great camera work. Thank you !

[@geraldroof1481]

You just need the right tools and patience. It’s not that difficult.

[@andrewmaksimovich2432]

Great video, I suck at repairing. The pull tabs ripped, had to pry out battery and damaged the wireless charging. Almost works except for power button, im not sure why. Will try to fix

[@fatboy228]

Can you just take off the cover over the battery connection and leave the top part connected? It would seem like much less work. I used this fix and it worked perfectly but even though in settings it says battery 100% it doesn’t seem to last any longer than the 80% battery I replaced. I ordered a new battery from a different company and will return the current one so I’m just trying to save some steps. I’m saying just the cover LCD CONNECTOR, digitizer, then switch out the battery. Thanks

[@Yourballix]

Does the screen have to be detached

[@stevecrocker6904]

good that you mentioned the different screw lengths. Many people don't look carefully at what they take out (and compare with others they have taken out) so they get themselves into a jam

[@MattiKoleman]

What about attaching new glue on the edge of case? Or is screen on the „click” attached?

How about the water resistance? Will it be affected?

[@grgurmandic6622]

iBerto Liciious yes, if you replace seal with new one it will still be water resistant.

Yes. In this video the technician did not replace the waterproof case seal, and he should have.

[@aminesap3084]

How did you get the genuine Apple battery? I can’t find it on the Internet.

[@krzyryry8382]

Going to guess this was a video swap not an actual need. He just reused the original baytery

[@richarda3659]

You can't. Apple won't sell internal parts to consumers. Amazon batteries can be sketchy but it's your only good option. On eBay, many sellers say their batteries are genuine but they are not being honest.

[@johncena6701]

Love the tools. Where can we get them

Thankyou very much,simple and easy to follow,I even fixed my back camera using this video..❤❤

[@liftedspongebob9859]

So I got a free iPhone 8 and i plugged it in to a charger for like 2 hours and it didn’t show any signs of life not even a low battery symbol so does that mean it needs a battery replacement?

[@Mardy-old-Bstard]

This guide is fantastic. Absolutely perfect instructions.

[@ondrejmanych5688]

If you dont replace the waterproof seal, at least heat it a little with a blowdryer or a heatgun. It will adhere at least a little bit.

[@DrDaab]

Excellent Video. Nice and slow with lots of useful commentary. I would, as pointed out by another video, connect the battery cable before positioning the battery because there is a bit of slack and once pressed into place with glue strips it is very difficult (or impossible) to move. Also, there is no resealing the top to make it waterproof - fine with me because I don't plan to go swimming with my phone. Great VIDEO Thanks !

[@davehill6207]

I've recently completed the battery replacement on my daughters iPhone 8 using the information provided in this video. I was very unsure whether to go ahead or not, but decided in the end to have a go. I watched the video a couple of times before starting the replacement. Then when I did do it I watched, paused, watched etc for each step. It has all gone fantastically well, apart from one issue which I hope someone may have an idea about. Everything works on the phone apart from the front facing camera. Any ideas? I figure that as the rear camera is working the connection must have been made ok so is it a software issue and if so how do I sort it out?

[@mikeoxmaul1373]

One of the wiring for the camera was damaged in the process

4:39 be aware while taking the shield off! I grabbed the shield just above the middle screw and accidentally touched one of the main board components (dunno how they called). There was a little spark and now the phone's dead, won't turn on. Anybody did this also? Or am I the only one? :)))))

[@richarda3659]

It's critical to disconnect the battery FIRST, not second as shown in this video. This guy got lucky, but not everyone does.

[@Maciekawniczak]

@@richarda3659 You're right. I was lucky and it turned out that I've burnt one condensator and after deleting it, the phone works perfectly.

hoping to do this since my phone stopped working from what i can only assume is battery damage, but at the same time worried that the battery might explode in my hand since it most definitely is puffed up inside the phone

the one who replaced my battery did not removed the plastic cover of the new battery he is going use for my iphone 8,he said that it is okay? Should i be worried?

[@dakkan5433]

So does the iphone 8 use the same screws as the iphone 6 as i have the tool kit and wondering if it can be used

[@richarda3659]

Your question wasn't very clear, but if I understand what you mean, yes, the TOOLS you'd use to take apart an iPhone 6s are the same tools you'd use for an iPhone 8. But don't swap the actual screws from one model to the other - they're all different.

[@bhvideo5540]

[@willj8205]

Since you got rid of the waterproof flue along the edges of the screen just underneath, doesn't that mean: 1. the phone is no longer water resistant. and 2. the screen could fall out from the case? Thanks!

[@Krypticbob]

I do not think the screen can fall out from the case, because there are clips that hold it in place, as well as the two screws on the bottom of the phone. It does however make it not waterproof!

[@basedCoding]

When i purchased a new battery it came with new waterproof glue frame

[@richarda3659]

No way screen could fall out - but yeah, you'll lose some water resistance.

Don't use the anything metal to peel up the battery tabs. I used the tweezers and suddenly I had smoke and battery got hot. I ran out back with it just pulled up the battery with the plastic pry bar tossed it into a some bricks it caught fire. Lucky enough to get the battery out fast enough.
