| [title] Alternative methods to unstick the battery from the case | |
| [* icon_note] ***If you successfully removed all three adhesive strips, move on to the next step. ***Otherwise, you will need to pry the battery from the rear case. | |
| - | [* icon_note] A piece of dental floss may be used to separate the battery from the rear case. A stronger alternative to dental floss is an unwound guitar string, such as a 0.009 E string from a 12-string set. |
| - | [* black] Thread the floss or string behind the upper battery corners, bring the ends together, wrap them around a folded cloth, and pull evenly. |
| - | [* icon_note] Alternatively, [guide|25705|prepare an iOpener|new_window=true] and apply it to the back of the rear case, directly over the battery. Otherwise, you can apply heat using a heat gun or hair dryer. |

| [* icon_caution] Overheating the iPhone may ignite the battery. | |
| [* icon_caution] Don't try to forcefully lever the battery out. If needed, apply a few more drops of alcohol to further weaken the adhesive. Never deform or puncture the battery with your pry tool. | |
| [* icon_caution] ***Do not*** insert the spudger in the area between the volume down (-) button and the top edge of the battery, or you may damage the volume control cable lying underneath. ***Do not*** pry against the logic board or you may damage the phone. | |
