Dock and battery replacement- tedious but totally worth it.

My Problem

Battery life stunk after 2 years. Also speaker didn't work using FaceTime, Skype, etc. So I replaced both parts at once. Also replaced battery in 2nd iPhone 5 - and process was simple. Hardest part of just batter replacement is getting loose from the adhesive.

My Fix

Battery replacement is the easy part. The rest is fairly tedious and needs someone fairly dextrous to deal with very small parts.

My Advice

Watch out for the tiny washers under the doc connector - I think I lost one of the 5. But phone works just fine. The seals are a bit hard to maintain since they rip when removing the bottom pieces - but again, phone works just fine now. Also I used the kit box to store the screws and labelled them by size and step.
