My Problem

My iPhone 4s was still a trusty companion but was starting to run out of gas early in the day. I was spending more money and more time on extra external battery packs to make it through the day and increasing amounts of time on the logistics of tracking what was charged and herding all the various cables needed.

My Fix

In under 15 minutes and with the help of your most excellent repair guides and battery kit, I was able to bring my iPhone 4s companion back to full strength and just in time for the holiday season and end of year IT workload!

Thanks iFixit! You Rock!

My Advice

Ensure you have the best possible work lighting available (perhaps even a magnifier light) and a stable work surface. The very, very, tiny pressure contact point that connects the backplate to the main circuit board can move with a heavy sigh after you remove the upper screw that holds it and the top of the battery connector!

Do not fear! You can do this!

With the help of the fine folks at iFixit you can bring your trusty companion back to full strength in no time and ready to take on your next challenge together!

Cheers!
