| [* icon_note] If any of the adhesive strips broke off and the battery remains stuck to the rear case, remove it by adding a few drops of isopropyl alcohol (90% or greater) underneath the battery near the stuck strip(s). | |
| [* black] After about a minute, gently lift the battery. | |
| [* icon_caution] ***Do not*** insert your 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. | |
| [* icon_caution] ***Do not*** pry against the logic board or you may damage the phone. | |

| - | [* icon_note] Alternatively, 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. Thread the floss or string behind the upper battery corners, bring the ends together, wrap them around a folded cloth, and pull evenly. |
