iPhone 4 Battery Replacement

5 - 30 minutes

Moderate

My Problem

Dropped my iPhone and shattered front glass.

No warranty and upgrade on the phone was too expensive.

Repair estimate for glass alone was $70.

My Fix

I ordered the repair kit which included tools to make the repair. I also ordered replacement battery.

Received both within 3 days.

No instructions came with the kits.

Used the instructions found on u-tube but still had to guess at a couple of steps because a couple of the components were not the same on my phone as depicted in the video.

Followed the instructions and completed the repair in a little under 4 hours.

My Advice

Read instructions then read again and read again.

Follow the instructions to the letter.

Take your time.

Recommend using a lighted magnifying glass because some of the screws are very small, particularly if you are over 70 years old and have vision issues.

If you like a challenge then go for it.
