Introduction

For your safety, discharge your existing battery below 25% before disassembling your phone. This reduces the risk of a dangerous thermal event if the battery is accidentally damaged during the repair.

Step 1

              Back Cover
  • Insert your fingernail or the flat end of a spudger into the notch on the bottom right corner of the phone.
  • Pry with your fingernail or twist the spudger to release the back cover’s clips from the phone.

Compare your new replacement part to the original part—you may need to transfer remaining components or remove adhesive backings from the new part before installing.

To reassemble your device, follow the above steps in reverse order.

Take the time to calibrate your new battery to ensure optimal functionality.
