iPhone 3GS Battery Replacement

20 - 30 minutes

Moderate

My Problem

My wife's iPhone 3GS worked swimmingly, aside from the recently diminishing battery life. It reached a point where even with an apparent bounty of power left, taking a photo or other power-intensive tasks would cause the device to simply power off. Eventually, the device would no longer charge even if left plugged in for an entire day.

My Fix

The repair process was fairly simplistic. I've been in the bowels of technology on occasion (gaming mods, etc), so this was not a totally new adventure to me. Still, the process took about 30 minutes and the step-by-step guide with useful tips was completely invaluable!

My Advice

Remember that there are three styles of screws used in this device! I followed the direction to remove the metal ring from the suction cup I used, so I placed one type of screw inside the ring, one type to the left, and one type to the right of the ring. That helped me keep them separate so I could reassemble it later without wondering which was which.
