Step Lines
| + | [* black] Use the flat end of a spudger to lift the battery out of the midframe. |
|---|---|
| + | [* black] If there is still adhesive holding the battery down, slowly pry the battery away from the midframe, taking care not to bend the battery. |
| + | [* icon_note] The battery will separate more easily if you add a few drops of isopropyl alcohol along each side, to soften the adhesive beneath. High concentration (90% or greater) alcohol will not harm your phone's components. |
| + | [* icon_note] Alternatively, you may apply heat to the midframe to soften the battery adhesive, but be very careful not to overheat the battery. |
| + | [* icon_caution] Don't deform or puncture the battery—it can catch fire and/or explode if damaged. |
| + | [* icon_caution] Never reinstall a damaged or deformed battery. Replace the battery. |
| + | [* icon_reminder] Use a few strips of thin double-sided adhesive tape, such as [product|IF317-072-1|Tesa 61395|new_window=true], to secure the replacement battery. |
