Remember those days where you can remove the battery by opening the back panel?
-
Having to remove this much parts before accessing the battery is crazy. We need laws that bring back removable batteries in phones.
-
OK, My brain and eyes have learned, but my hands have not learned.
-
I’ve put batteries in I phone 5 and 6 and they were quite straightforward, but this looks like it would try the patience of a Saint. Still going to give it a go when the time comes 👍
-
Re-installing the display adhesive was what I was waiting to see, because I feel like it's important to get it right, and you guys don't show it? Why?
-
Its insane how tightly integrated and engineered phones are nowadays to fit as much technology in the smallest of spaces. Its fascinating to look at, but I can also understand how it could be a headache when it comes to battery replacements/repairs.
-
Big support for the channel and keep on making awesome content and guides and giveaways in the future as well. Worked for me
-
Maybe I missed something. Why do all those components need to come out to get the battery out. They didn’t look like it was needed.
-
GREAT video. EXCRUCIATING process.
-
I skipped taking out the haptic engine, speaker etc. just took off the plates for the connectors, total of 6 screws not counting the bottom two on the outside
-
I just removed the screen and heated the back glass up and slowly pryed the battery out. No problem. Took 15mins
-
thanks you are the best, it works.
-
They truly don’t want people to repair their own devices! Out of spite when my battery dies I will replace it.
-
I had great trouble when installing one of the standoff screwer back for the taptic engine. I spent like 30 minutes on that single screwer alone. So my advice is if you have isopropyl alcohol to resolve the glue, do NOT uninstall the taptic engine.
-
thanks for the tutorial just broke the charging port, sim card recognising and the display is full of lines 🥰
-
How much editing do you do on screen removal? Also when you put the screws back in how do you get them to stay on the tip of the driver? I would get them going to hole the magnetic screwdriver would change alignment. Any suggestions there?
-
I like the pick w the lip so u don’t stick it in too deep.
-
How to glue the screen back or which adhesive and how to do it ?
-
Where do we install the new adhesive to ensure water resistance is still operational?
-
I miss having a removable cover though I understand for water resistance It makes sense.
