Replacing the battery on the iPhone 4S requires minimal disassembly. | | Bought battery and tool kit, watched video, read thru stories, did replacement in just a few minutes. I think the Airplane Mode ON/OFF avoids trouble. | | turn airplane mode on. | do the job | turn airplane mode off. | found Verizon no trouble | | put a textured cloth down, the texture will prevent any dropped screw from bouncing | | strong light. I had magnifier light, but just needed the light, to see the ridges of the screws, to pre-position the screwdrivers in the head of the screws upon reassembly. | | screwdrivers are slightly magnetized, use this to your advantage when replacing screws. use gravity, point phone upside down when reassembling. stay close to head of screw when approaching screw with screw driver, magnetism will 'lift' the screw out of the hole. | | pressure contact, left side, held in place by top screw, it is a spring that makes contact with the metal inside the back cover, that's it. It is a separate part, comes loose, no biggie, just use a toothpick to align it's hole under the top screw hole. It's gold contact faces up, aimed down to the bottom of the phone. | | Elliott |
