    • Insert an opening pick into the gap.

If possible, turn on your phone and test your repair before installing new adhesive and resealing the phone.

Secure the new battery with pre-cut adhesive or double-sided adhesive tape. In order to position it correctly, apply the new adhesive into the phone at the places where the old adhesive was located, not directly onto the battery. Press the new battery firmly into place.

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order. Apply new adhesive where necessary after cleaning the relevant areas with isopropyl alcohol (>90%).

For optimal performance, calibrate your newly installed battery: Charge it to 100%, and keep charging it for at least two more hours. Then, use it until it shuts off due to low battery. Finally, charge it uninterrupted to 100%

Take your e-waste to an R2 or e-Stewards certified recycler.

El mío no abre ni con soplete, he aplicado calor con secador del pelo, las cuñas se rompen, la ventosa se despega... no se mueve ni una micra. Al que inventó el USB C habría que colgarlo de los dedos de los pies y lo de las cacharros de cientos de euros cerrados como una caja de seguridad lo mismo.

Thank you so much!!!

Worked perfectly. Step 15 backwards is the biggest challenge.
