Sony Xperia Z1 Compact Battery Replacement

Step 1 Back Cover

• Heat along the edges of the back cover using a heat gun to soften the glue.
Step 2

• Attach the small suction cup to the back cover near the bottom of the phone.
• Pull up on the suction cup and insert the plastic opening tool in between the back cover and the rest of the phone.
Step 3
• Move the spudger around the edge of the back cover to separate it from the black adhesive.
• Separating the back cover from the rest of the phone ruins the adhesive which makes it no longer waterproof.
Step 4 Battery
• Carefully disconnect the battery from the logic board by using the plastic spudger as a lever.
Step 5
• Remove the single 1 x 3.0 mm screw holding the battery in using the JIS #00 screwdriver.
Step 6
• Pry the battery up from the ends using the plastic spudger until the battery pops out of the enclosure.
Step 7
• Remove the battery from the device
