Introduction

Before disassembling your phone, discharge the battery below 25%. The battery can catch fire and/or explode if accidentally punctured, but the chances of that happening are much lower if discharged.

Step 1

              Back Cover

Danke für die detaillierte ANleitung, konnte meinen Akku wechseln und nun ist mein Handy wieder wie neu.

it’s almost impossible to remove the battery without damaging it!

My advice to you is to buy the LCD screen with the battery included.

Habe es leider nicht hinbekommen - beim Versuch den Klebestreifen mit der Pinzette zu greifen hat mein Akku Feuer gefangen…

Das hat sehr gut geklappt mit der Anleitung. Danke dafür, super happy.

Im Basic Rep Set fehlte leider einer der notwendigen Torx Schraubendreher.

War erfolgreich die OP. Die Batterie war allerdings festgeklebt wie verrückt und nur sehr schwer raus zu bekommen. Musste ein flaches Messer zuhilfe nehmen, anders gings nicht. Ich hatte sie vor der Rep. glücklicherweise auf 10% entladen, damit nicht so viel passieren kann, wenn sie beim entfernen hochgeht ;-) Ist allerdings nichts passiert. Die Ladebuchse hab ich bei der Gelegenheit auch gleich getauscht, die hatte auch oft keinen richtigen Steckerkontakt mehr. Alles in Allem ca 1,5 Std. Zeitbedarf. Danke für die Anleitung.
