How to replace your iPhone 5 battery

How to replace your iPhone 5 battery

15 minutes

Moderate

My Problem

The phone was not holding a charge intermittently.

My Fix

The replacement procedure went without a hitch. The phone came to life with a half charge indicator. After that it would not charge even though it indicated it was charging. I attempted a DFU (I hope I remember the initials correctly) and that killed the phone rendering it useless. Would you like your battery back?

My Advice

This was a prelude to my replacing the slowly dying battery in my Mac Book Air. I am pretty discouraged, despite my own sound abilities to perform the physical actions necessary.
