Guide very clear and toolset and replacement battery worked just fine. I replaced battery without disconnecting front panel. Both glued strips got broken (I didn’t remove Taptic Engine) but I managed to rescue strips by carefully leveling up battery with the spudger and picking the strips with twezzer. Then it was easy to pull the glued strips thanks to the gap gained between battery and rear panel
Iphone 6s is back to life. Sorry for my poor English writing skills (creo que escribo mejor en Spanish)
Thank you all
A very good clear guide, and my iphone 6s works fine, restored with the new replacement battery. The replacement battery came with a full set of tools, including sucker, screwdrivers, spudgers and even a packet of screws.
I must admit, although the guide was excellent and well illustrated, I found it a bit of a challenge. I don’t know if my age (nearly 80) didn’t help , with a slightly shaky hand! Those tiny, tiny screws that can ping all over the place, and replacing the weenie terminals that could so easily be damaged if you press in the wrong place, I found the worst to cope with. However the guide was very helpful with its warnings, such as when you are getting the old battery out and the danger of damaging the volume button connector if you work too near the top end.
To conclude I think the guide is very good, and thank you.
Great guide! The battery health seems to be working as well surprisingly.
Excellent source. I was able to repurpose an old iPhone for reuse as a quasi iPod and keep it out of the trash cycle. HINT: when disassembling devices such as this with many tiny screws I use an enlarged screen shot from the directions, tape it to a steel sheet. I lay out tiny magnets on the picture in the exact pattern as the place from which they came before I remove them. For reassembly, I remove them from the magnets one-by-one as used. This way each screw goes back in the place from which it came.
I am not a tech person, and this is the second time I have replaced the battery in my iPhone 6s using your kit and replacement battery. The first time was a year and a half ago, and all was good until that first replacement battery simply stopped charging. It lasted a year and a half, so I think that's pretty good!
The hardest part of the repair for me is getting all those tiny screws back in. Otherwise, easy to follow instructions, photos and tools. You guys do great work -- thank you!
