-
Use the flat end of a spudger to lift the battery out of the midframe.
-
Check to make sure no ribbon cables remain stuck to the battery, and separate them carefully if needed.
-
If there is still adhesive holding the battery down, slowly pry the battery away from the midframe, taking care not to bend the battery.
-
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.
-
Alternatively, you may apply heat to the midframe to soften the battery adhesive, but be very careful not to overheat the battery.
-
Don't deform or puncture the battery—it can catch fire and/or explode if damaged.
-
Never reinstall a damaged or deformed battery. Replace the battery.
-
Use a few strips of thin double-sided adhesive tape, such as Tesa 61395 or strips from a pre-cut adhesive card, to secure the replacement battery.
