Removal
Note: If you’ve already completed the removal steps, skip to reassembly.
Important
Remove the back glass. Then continue to step 1.
Use ESD-safe tweezers to grasp the battery adhesive tab. Gently peel the silver adhesive tab away from the battery at a 45-degree angle.
Connect the red (positive) connector of the 9-volt battery to the adhesive tab on the iPhone battery. Then connect the black (negative) connector of the 9-volt battery to the lower right grounding screw on the bottom speaker.
Hold the connection for 90 seconds.
Important: If the connection isn't secure, the adhesive won't de-bond. If either or both clips disconnect, restart the procedure at step 1.
Note: Adhesive removal time may increase during the product’s life. Adhesive removal can be accomplished by applying up to 30 volts, using alternate power sources such as DC power supplies. Higher voltage application will result in faster removal times.
Repeat steps 3 and 4 with the second adhesive tab.
Use a suction cup or the black stick to lift the battery and remove it from the enclosure.
Caution: If you feel resistance while attempting to remove the battery, repeat steps 1 through 3.- Warning: If you can’t remove the battery, stop the repair. You can find a service option at support.apple.com/repair.
