    • Before you begin, discharge your iPhone battery below 25%. A charged lithium-ion battery can catch fire and/or explode if accidentally punctured.

    • Power off your iPhone before beginning disassembly.

    • Your phone's rear cover may have two #000 Phillips screws or Apple's 5-Point "Pentalobe" screws. Check which screws you have, and ensure you also have the correct screwdriver in order to remove them.

    • Remove the two 3.6 mm Pentalobe or Phillips #000 screws next to the dock connector.

    • Use the edge of a plastic opening tool to gently pry the battery connector up from its socket on the logic board.

    • Be very careful 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 it entirely.

    • Pull up on the exposed clear plastic tab to peel the battery off the adhesive securing it to the iPhone.

    • If the tab breaks before the battery is freed, apply a few drops of high concentration (over 90%) isopropyl alcohol under the edge of the battery. Wait about one minute for the alcohol solution to weaken the adhesive. Carefully slide a spudger under the battery tab to release the adhesive.

    • Prying in other places may cause damage. Don't try to forcefully lever the battery out. If needed, apply a few more drops of alcohol to further weaken the adhesive. Never deform or puncture the battery with your pry tool.

    • If there's any alcohol solution remaining in the phone, carefully wipe it off or allow it to air dry before installing your new battery.

    • Remove the battery.

    • If your replacement battery came in a plastic sleeve, remove it before installation by pulling it away from the the ribbon cable.

    • Before reassembly, clean metal-to-metal contact points with a de-greaser such as windex. The oils from your fingers have the potential to cause wireless interference issues.

    • Perform a hard reset after reassembly. This can prevent several issues and simplify troubleshooting.

    • There's a small rectangular rubber pad at the top of the logic board that prevents the display cables from chafing against the edge of the board. If it comes loose during your repair, make sure to position it correctly when reinstalling your logic board.

where does the little rubber piece go? on power button or bracket?

marc - Contestar

If you look at the Logic Board, the top kind of looks like steps. Find the tallest point, the go left and down one step. The piece goes at the top of this. The thinner part should face towards the back of the phone. It is to protect the LCD cable.

Hello! New to this comment section and love it compared to the YouTube videos that always seem to have the wrong phone... I have a Verizon CDMA iPhone 4 (not 4s). I'm having a problem with the power button. I have changed the ribbon and the button still won't click. I have checked the ribbon button with a pointed screwdriver and it clicks like it should. For example, if I did not put the metal/physical button back into the phone, it would see that I could just poke something inside to turn on and off. Is there a "spring" to the physical button? Do I have something missing? The button seems as it is in the diagrams and I wonder if the wire on the bottom of the button is supposed to provide a springing of some sort...to allow for it to "stay tall" and away from the bubble button on the ribbon. Then when the physical button is pushed it will go down and activate or push the ribbon button, and then click or spring back up. Am I missing something here? Tks GANDL2123@gmail.com

"the outward edges should be on top"... what? I have the iphone 4 Verizon and I've followed the instructions to the letter. I have installed the power button with the metal wire thing down towards the screen...the button slides in nicely and I have replaced the new ribbon cable with the copper button on it new and when I test the copper button on the cable itself it does click...but when installed I can't get the button to spring in and out and click like it is supposed to. What am I doing wrong...? Tks to gandL2123@gmail.com. Augusta, GA
