How to replace the battery of Apple iPhone 6 Plus

Power off your iPhone before beginning disassembly. 

Remove the two 3.6 mm Pentalobe screws next to the Lightning connector.

The next two steps demonstrate using the iSclack, a great tool for safely opening the iPhone 6 Plus that we recommend for anyone doing more than one repair. 

 If the plastic depth gauge is attached at the center of the iSclack, remove it now—it's not needed for larger phones like the iPhone 6 Plus.
Close the handle on the iSclack, opening the suction cup jaws.
Place the bottom of your iPhone in between the suction cups.
Position the iSclack's upper suction cup against the display, near the home button. Open the handles to close the jaws of the iSclack. Center the suction cups and press them firmly onto the top and bottom of the iPhone.

Hold onto your iPhone securely and close the handle of the iSclack to separate the suction cups, pulling the front panel up from the rear case. The iSclack is designed to safely open your iPhone enough to separate the pieces, but not enough to damage any of the display cables. Peel the two suction cups off your iPhone.

If you don't have an iSclack, use a single suction cup to lift the front panel: Press a suction cup onto the screen, just above the home button.

 Be sure the cup is pressed securely onto the screen to get a tight seal.

If you don't have an iSclack, use a single suction cup to lift the front panel: Press a suction cup onto the screen, just above the home button.
Be sure the cup is pressed securely onto the screen to get a tight seal.

Pull the plastic nub to release the vacuum seal on the suction cup. Remove the suction cup from the display assembly.

Pull the home button end of the front panel assembly away from the rear case, using the top of the phone as a hinge. During the next few steps, until you remove the front panel assembly, keep it supported at a 90 degree angle in relation to the rear case

Several clips along the top edge of the front panel form a partial hinge, allowing the front panel assembly to swing open like a book. During reassembly, align the clips just below the top edge of the rear case. Then, slide the front panel upward until its top edge is flush with that of the rear case.

While holding the front panel open at about a 90 degree angle, remove the following screws securing the front panel assembly cable bracket:

Three 1.2 mm Phillips #00 screws
One 1.5 mm Phillips #00 screw
One 2.9 mm Phillips #00 screw

Remove the front panel assembly cable bracket from the logic board.

In the next four steps, take care to pry up only on the cable connectors, and not on their sockets on the logic board. While still supporting the front panel, use a plastic opening tool to disconnect the front facing camera and earpiece speaker cable connector.

Use a plastic opening tool to disconnect the home button cable connector.

Use a plastic opening tool to disconnect the display data cable connector. When reassembling your phone, the display data cable may pop off the connector. This can result in white lines or a blank screen when powering your phone back on. If that happens, simply reconnect the cable and power cycle your phone. The best way to power cycle your phone is to disconnect and reconnect the battery connector.

Finally, use a plastic opening tool to disconnect the digitizer cable connector.

Remove the front panel assembly rom the rear case.

Remove the following screws from the battery connector bracket:
One 2.3 mm Phillips #00 screw
One 3.1 mm Phillips #00 screw

Remove the metal battery connector bracket from the iPhone.

Use a plastic opening tool to gently pry the battery connector up from its socket on the logic board. Take care to only pry up on the battery connector, and not the socket on the logic board. If you pry up on the logic board socket, you may break the connector entirely.

Peel back the first battery adhesive tab from the bottom right edge of the battery. Use your fingers or blunt tweezers. Be extra careful when working near the battery; puncturing a lithium-ion battery can release dangerous chemicals and cause a fire.

Gently pull the battery adhesive tab away from the battery, toward the bottom of the iPhone.

To avoid tearing the adhesive strip, be careful not to pull against the battery or lower components.
Continue pulling, allowing the strip to slowly slip out from between the battery and the rear case. When you feel increased resistance from the strip, stop pulling and continue with the next step.
If the battery adhesive tabs break during the removal process, use your fingers or blunt tweezers to retrieve the remaining length of adhesive, and continue pulling.

When you feel increased resistance from the adhesive strip, pull it gently around the lower right corner of the battery. Avoid snagging the adhesive strip on the corner of the battery or the strip may tear or break.

Continue pulling the adhesive tab upward and away from the right edge of the battery, allowing it to slowly slide out from between the battery and the rear case, until the strip comes free from the iPhone. Don't allow the adhesive strip to snag on the battery connector, or it may tear or break off.

Peel back the second battery adhesive tab from the bottom left edge of the battery. Again, gently pull the battery adhesive tab upward and away from the battery, allowing the adhesive strip to slowly slide out from between the battery and the rear case. Continue pulling the adhesive tab until you feel increased resistance, and then stop.

When you feel increased resistance from the adhesive strip, pull it gently around the lower left corner of the battery. Don't allow the adhesive strip to snag on the corner of the battery, or it may tear or break off. Continue pulling the adhesive tab upward and away from the left edge of the battery, allowing it to slowly slide out from between the battery and the rear case, until the strip comes free from the iPhone.

Peel back the final battery adhesive tab from the bottom edge of the battery. Gently pull the battery adhesive tab upward and away from the battery, allowing the adhesive strip to slowly slide out from between the battery and the rear case.

Continue pulling until the final strip comes free from the iPhone.

Flip the iPhone back over and insert a plastic card between the left side of the battery and the rear case. Be careful to keep the card as flat as possible to avoid bending the battery, which may damage it and cause it to release dangerous chemicals. Press the card in farther to break up the adhesive behind the battery.

Remove the battery from the iPhone.

Samsung Galaxy S3 – How to replace the front glass

Samsung Galaxy S3:  How to replace the front glass  

If your phone already has a protective screen applied to it, you are ready to begin. If it doesn't, cut a piece of packaging tape the size of the screen and apply it to the screen. This will help you remove the broken glass later.

With a plastic opening tool, pry open the back case. It will come out very easily.

Take out the battery. There are no cables attached.

If your provider/version of phone takes a SIM card, remove it by pushing it in a bit until you hear a small click, and then slide it out. Sprint USA does not use SIM card.

At this point you can already go to the next step, which is using a heat gun. However I felt safer by taking out the motherboard too.

You need to have lots of patience in this procedure. Take your time. Using an infrared thermometer heat the surface to 170-180° F (roughly 70-80° C). This will loosen the glue but not damage the electronics. Hold the gun at about 3 inches from your phone (in this picture it looks like its right on top). With the heat gun set to low, heat up the borders for about 3 to 5 minutes depending on the strength of your heat gun. You must be careful when using the heat gun on this device. If the device is heated up too much then it may melt the digitizer and cause discoloration. If you start to see any discoloration then shut off the gun immediately. If you are working with a hair dryer, it might take up to 1 hour. This melts the glue that holds the glass to the frame and to the display. The glass is glued to them.

Using a guitar pick or a plastic opening tool, very carefully start to work separating the edges of the glass. Make sure to go from top to bottom. You will need to use the heat gun a number of times as you go down separating the glass. For glasses with lots of damage you will need to go extra carefully as to not damage the LCD with the shattered glass pieces.

When you start separating the screen, you need to start from the top borders and work your way to the center, ungluing the whole screen from top to bottom. Leave some opening tools in to prevent the glass from bonding again to the LCD. Be extra careful when you get to the bottom because the menu buttons are glued to the glass. Do not pull the glass just yet, you might damage the cables. Pull the screen from the top to the bottom to the point where you can see the menu and return button cables.

Extra attention is necessary with this step, don't damage the buttons or cable. With a spudger, detach the buttons from the inner side of the glass. This might require a little extra heat. Also, the best strategy is to start in the middle, under the black ribbon that connects the two buttons, and then move sideways to separate each one.

Take out the broken glass. I was able to take it all in one piece. If your glass is very shattered you will need to pick up the small pieces with tweezers, one by one or stick tape to the glass before you take it out. You can also use screen protectors.

Take this small metal piece from your old glass, you will need to put it in the new one. Clean up the glue that remains on the borders. A small microfiber with a bit of WD40 or windex can help you take all the glue off. Be sure to not use too much WD40 or windex. When cleaning out the glue, do NOT attempt to scrap glue out of the cracks between the LCD and the frame. A very small amount of force toward the center or from underneath will crack the LED. Cut up two small 1mm pieces of the sticker tape and glue the buttons to the phone to keep them in place. It's very important to make sure the buttons line up exactly with the picture.

Put pieces of the sticker tape along the inner frame of the phone. Clean up the digitizer with lint free wipes or a clean microfiber towel. I used some lens cleaner to leave it spotless and smudge free.

Take out the plastic from the new glass, make sure you dont touch the inner side of the screen. There are thin protective plastic layers on both sides of the glass. Peel them out before placing the glass on your phone.

Check the glass against the light to make sure it is streak free before applying. If packaging left noticeable marks clean with glass cleaner and let dry before applying Peel off the paper from the sticker tape and put on the new glass. Press on the edges to secure adhesion.
