Replace the battery of an iPhone 4

by stefanosprotopapas

My Problem

The phone would randomly turn off, reboot and sometimes turn of and refuse to turn on until I plug it on the computer.

It would even say "activation required" when restarting.

I could charge it only using the pc and sometimes it would seat at 30 or 40% for hours.

My Fix

The repair was very easy after watching the respective video from ifixit.com

My Advice

Always buy the plastic opening tools or isesamo. I didn't but I was lucky because I found a set at a local hardware store.
