iPhone 6 Battery Replacement in 4 Minutes

Introduction

This tutorial will guide you through the process of replacing the battery in an iPhone 6. If your battery life has diminished and you want to restore your phone's performance, this step-by-step guide will help you accomplish the task in about 30 to 45 minutes. Remember, this process requires careful handling of delicate components.

Step 1: Power Off the iPhone

• Begin by turning off your iPhone 6 to prevent any electrical issues during the replacement.

Step 2: Remove the Bottom Screws

• Use a Pentalobe screwdriver to remove the two screws located at the bottom of the device.
• If you don't have a Pentalobe screwdriver, check the video description for recommended tools.

Step 3: Lift the Screen

• Attach a suction cup to the screen to gently lift it.
• Use a pry tool (either metal or plastic) to carefully lift the screen away from the metal frame.
• Avoid bending the screen too much to prevent cracking.

Step 4: Disconnect the Screen

• Locate the metal plate covering the screen connectors.
• Remove the five screws securing this plate.
• Gently unsnap the four ribbon cables that connect the screen to the main board.

Step 5: Remove the Battery Connector

• After disconnecting the screen, locate the metal plate covering the battery connector.
• Remove the two screws from this plate and then unclip the battery connector.

Step 6: Loosen the Battery

• The battery is glued in place, so you'll need to heat the back of the phone to loosen the adhesive.
• Use a heat source (like a hairdryer) for about 1 to 2 minutes, ensuring it doesn’t get too hot to the touch.

Step 7: Extract the Battery

• Carefully use a pry tool to lift the battery out of the phone.
• Be cautious not to pry against any important components or cut the ribbon cables.

Step 8: Prepare for the New Battery

• If the original glue remains intact, you can reuse it to secure the new battery. If not, use double-sided sticky tape.
• Position the new battery into its slot.

Step 9: Reconnect the New Battery

• Plug in the new battery connector.
• Place the metal bracket back over the connector and secure it with the screws.

Step 10: Reattach the Screen

• Reconnect the screen by snapping the ribbon cables back in place, similar to LEGO pieces.
• Replace the metal plate covering the connectors with the five screws.

Step 11: Finalize Assembly

• Carefully align the top of the screen with the phone’s body and press down along the sides to snap it back into place.
• Make sure the bottom of the screen is also secured.
