replacing a battery

Started by RichD October 5, 2021
The battery in my phone burned out, so I ordered a 
replacement from Amazon. 
 
Examining the case, I can't find any fasteners. 
Do I open it with an oyster knife?

Check YouTube. It's surprising how many people put how to videos on it. Rumble might have some too.

A sharpened paint scraper is the unofficial tool of choice. Be careful though missing fingers are hard to replace. -- Regards, Martin Brown

If you want to make an "official tool purchase" to ameliorate the lawyers, buy a "spudger" on fleabay or amazon :) E.g. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/273230031587

I recently had to replace the timer on our clothes washer. I would have really messed up without YouTube. -- Father Brown's figure remained quite dark and still; but in that instant he had lost his head. His head was always most valuable when he had lost it.

It may take a while to find it, but Youtube has repair/replace for allmost anything that has been made. Ioften go there even if I think I know that to do as there is often a small bit of information that makes the job much easier. YOu do have to pay attention as some of the advice will really mess up you item as some do not know what they are doing.

... iPhones use screws, they are special screws but the matching screwdrivers are easy to get these days. kw

Not sure what version but here is a place you can get a kit fro about $ 30 including the battery to do the job. There is vidio on how it is done. From a quick look you force it open and there are screws inside to hold some things in. https://www.ifixit.com/Store/iPhone/iPhone-7-Battery/IF332-005?o=11 &utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=12697242683 &gclid=CjwKCAjwkvWKBhB4EiwA-GHjFswDJr0LDLWyY06ig3ZGU0EGlTwbcyNjgUNe8E4Y- MEGRHQLQJLwuBoCFz0QAvD_BwE
