Firstly, please long press the phone to turn it off. Then you can use a pentagon screwdriver to unscrew the screws at the bottom of the phone.

Please pay attention to putting the screws aside well. You can place the screen face down on the pad for about 2-3 minutes after the heating pad is up to the temperature of 70—80°c.

And fix the suction cup at the bottom of the phone, lift the screen gently, and insert a pry piece underneath. Gradually move around the edge of the display, separating the screen along the gap.

The display assembly is still connected to the iPhone by cables, so don’t try to remove it completely. Again, please pay attention to the position of the cable to avoid damage.

The angle should not be greater than 90 degrees to prevent breaking the flex cable. The process of removing the cover is done.

Next, use a Tri-wing screwdriver to unscrew the screws on the shielding cover of the cable connector. You can use a spudger slightly to extricate the battery and the connector between the screen and the motherboard.

Now, continue to follow instructions step by step. Detach the earpiece speaker flex cable, and remove the old display assembly.

Then, please use tweezers to clean up the battery adhesive. It’s suggested to detach the Taptic Engine and loudspeaker better to remove the adhesive at the bottom of the battery.

Again, use a Tri-wing screwdriver to unscrew the screws on the speaker flex cable and detach the shielding cover.
 
After taking out the loudspeaker and Taptic Engine, let’s continuously remove the battery adhesive. Because the adhesive at the bottom of the battery has been for a long time, it’s hard to remove it. We need to drop some alcohol to help clean up.

Drop the alcohol around the edge of the battery, and leave it to penetrate and evaporate. Use tweezers to make it loose, take out the old battery, and continue to remove the rest adhesive.

Please keep removing the waterproof adhesive around the frame. And replace the Taptic Engine and loudspeaker. Remember to tighten the screws and replace them with the new battery.

Use a spudger to disengage the battery connector. Reassemble the display cable, touch the cable, and continuously.

Please turn it on. Check the health condition of the battery. It shows the maximum capacity of the battery now is 100%. Please turn it off. Tear off the waterproof adhesive. Make it adhere to the phone body. Press lightly with tweezers to make it adhesive.

Tear off the film. Reassemble the display cable and touch the cable. Reassemble the earpiece speaker flex cable, and connect the battery. Install the shielding cover, and tighten the screws.

Take off the waterproof adhesive around the frame. Buckle the phone screen.

Please turn it on again. Let’s do some battery tests. First is the wired charging test. Next is the wireless charging test. It’s working. Both are working.
