How to replace your iPhone 5 battery

15 minutes - 1 hour

Moderate

My Problem

Battery was running down from a full charge to zero within a few hours with minimal use. Almost bought a g*d d*mn new phone.

My Fix

Super easy repair. Took about 10-15 minutes right at my work desk. I have experience with general repairs both in the home and with cars so I was prepared for how these things go together, with the caveat that I was determined to be a lot more gentle with this device than with a front brake caliper.

My Advice

I didn't remove the screen. Just tilted it up and kept it supported as necessary by using my wrist or the top of the screwdriver. There's a small wire next to where the battery plugs in that came undone when I removed my battery (it's pretty gluey so I fussed with it a bit more). This wire needs to be plugged into the small "hole" or receptor just below and to the right of the battery connector. Just make sure you haven't jostled it lose while working and reconnect it with a "snap" if you have.
