How to replace your iPhone 5 battery

15 minutes - 1 hour

Moderate

My Problem

Battery died around 15% -30% also at the % range or life range would be incorrect.

The power button started to fail then finally quit working and with those two issues it made it difficult to use my phone.

My phone would shut off randomly and I had to turn it back on with the charging cord. Drove me bonkers!!!!

My Fix

This repair took me almost 2 1/2 hours. This was the first time I had worked on a phone. I lost one screw and broke one of the interconnect cables. I still put my phone back together less one screw covering the battery connect plate and still attached the cable with a piece of tape to hold it in place. To my surprise it worked and I plan to order the other parts to finish the repair. I saved my phone and Im not stuck in a contract with a provider for a new phone. Ha!!

My Advice

I recommend buying the screw set incase you drop one. Many different sizes and shapes that will not interchange.

Another thing to have is a magnifying glass. I wear glasses and I still needed this to see some of the connections.
