iPhone battery replacement

I replaced the battery in my iphone 4.

It is very easy to do, with a little common sense and care.

You need one of those tiny specialty screwdriver sets to take the phone apart.
2 really small star head screws have to be removed on the bottom of the phone beside the charging port.

Once you pull the screws out, the case opens up.

There is a little screw inside right beside the battery that holds a little tab in place. Remove that.

Then the battery comes up out of the phone body. There is a tab / contact attached to the battery that has to be very carefully placed into the phone.

Be sure to be very careful with the little ribbon cable that goes to the phone. It is easy to break it.

And when you place the new battery in the phone, be sure to get the cable properly placed and replace the screw that holds the tab down.

As you remove the old one, make very careful note of how it comes apart so you can put it back the same way.

It took me about ten minutes altogether to change the battery.

It has been a couple years now so I forget the exact details, but this is very close to what I did.

"Daunting". Now there's a word you don't hear everyday. Check youtube for videos on changing the battery. I haven't looked, but am amazed at what they have on their about repairing things.

depends on which iPhone and how handy you are...
there are many guides on the internet.. but you need to take the phone apart to do it...

very easy for some... incredibly daunting for others
