[91 Disassembly and Maintenance] Xiaobai can also repair the mobile phone series by himself - the battery and home button replacement tutorial of Apple iPhone 5. When the home button of the mobile phone is damaged or the battery cycles too many times, you can try to replace a new battery to improve the endurance of the machine. Now please follow our tutorial to start.
Warning: Self disassembly may damage the machine and lose the official warranty.
Please shut down the machine and remove the card slot before disassembling it. Let's begin to disassemble it. The first step is to remove two very small screws on both sides of the data (note that this screw is a Torx screw dedicated to iPhone).
We use suction cups to try to pull the screen out. Be careful not to use brute force. There is a flat cable at the bottom of the screen, which can be pulled up slowly.
After the screen is opened, a flat cable is connected to the motherboard on the top of the screen. The flat cable is covered with a metal screen cover, on which there are three cross shaped screws. Remove the shield cover to remove the flat cable.
After removing the screen, we can see the battery. Similar to the screen, the battery's flat cable is also covered with a metal shield, and there are two cross screws on the top. Unscrew the shield and flat cable to remove them.
Unplug the flat cable. There is a handle on the right side of the battery to pull out the battery. Next, we use a hot air gun to heat the battery to facilitate disassembly.
Move the hot air gun from left to right to heat evenly. After two or three minutes, try to remove the battery by lifting the battery handle. If the battery cannot be removed well, please heat it again.
Compared with the new battery we are going to install, the old battery has obviously appeared "bulge" phenomenon.
We install the new battery into the mobile phone, first install the left side into the battery compartment, then slowly lower the battery, press and stick it, and install the cable.
Above is the battery installed. We can install the shield back.
Home key replacement part:
Turn the removed screen upside down, and we can see that the Home button is fixed by a metal sheet, and there are two cross screws on both sides. We can remove the screws to remove the Home button.
After the Home button is removed, we can clearly see the installation method of the Home button by comparing it with the new button.
Tear off the back glue of the blue plastic sheet and stick it on the metal sheet, and then install the new button.
All tools used this time: cross screwdriver, Torx screwdriver, tweezers, suction cup, crowbar, card taking needle.
