Introduction

If your battery isn't working, it may be time to replace it. This guide will show you how to replace the battery.

What you need

Step 1 Back Panel

Step 2

Insert a plastic opening tool in the small crevasse between the screen and the back panel.
Pry the screen away from the back panel.
Repeat this on each edge of the device.
We found it helpful to leave multiple plastic opening tools wedged in the crevasse to prevent it from closing.
This requires heavy force. The back of the device is attached with an adhesive. If the back panel is too hard to remove, use the iOpener.

Step 3

After using the plastic opening tools, pry the device open with your hands.
Remove the back panel from the screen.

Step 4 Speaker

Remove the four 3 mm Phillips #000 screws that are attached to the speaker.
These screws are very small so make sure to keep track of them. You can use iFixit's Pro Magnetic Project Mat to help.

Step 5

Use your fingers to remove the speaker.

Step 6 Battery

Step 7

Using a spudger or plastic opening tool, disconnect the ribbon cable from the right side of the device, where it is attached with adhesive.
These images use a metal spudger, which has the potential to damage the device. Use a plastic opening tool or standard spudger instead.
