q mamada tanto pedo solo para cambiar la bateria a un iphon hahahah jodidos

[2001thomasDK]

i'm shocked .. you have to be an engineer with special equipment just to change the f... battery .. what idiots buy an Iphone !!! changing battery on my HTC takes 5 seconds .. i think .. 'cause i never had a need for changing it :-)

[razqand]

for those who have a problem of restore loop, its not a software issue but rather its a hardware issue. i had the same problem and i have tried everything on the net and nothing worked. then i opened my iphone3gs back and re-installed cable cables1,2 and 3. the problem was in cable3, it was not installed properly.

note: you need to lift up that white thingy for cable 3 to be installed properly. i did not know how open cable3 and i broke(black part) it, but luckily it still works

[ashleybaby691518]

This is risky :/

[TheBbrevik]

im gonna buy a new battery should i buy the 1600 mAh or the 1800 mAh? thanks

[boystoys1]

now my earpiece is not working ... What should i do

[JayMinnetonka]

Good on the whole. Screen label of steps sometimes obscures the action. Would have appreciated a slower and narrated reassembly. Thanks!

[addsers]

Wait, how do you turn it off again O.o ???

[Handlegrip]

Putting it together is definetly the hardest part of the process. The camera was a big pain. trying to get it to sit right. then that little piece of metal that the screw goes through kept falling off so i turned the video on to see how it was supposed to go back on but they sped up the video on that part. Thankfully I got it back together and it worked. I dont understand why apple would make it so difficult to change a battery.

[infadelakainf]

anybody know how to replace the battery on a Super Pad, it is the Ipad klone

[matforsbon]

WTF ??? do you have to go trough all this just to change a freaking mobile phone battery. Thanks for the video making things clear, man that is the most stupidest mobile construction I ever seen, you have to use tools to change a freaking mobile battery WTF ??? It's a joke to call Iphone for a smartphone

[Antronicaz]

how to hack wifi networks with an iPhone, ipod touch, or ipad!?!? well iwifihack (dot) net showed me how!!!

[Ltndoom]

WHAT IS THIS WIZADRY

[hirsch2611]

Excellent guide. Was going to cost me £120 to have O2 replace the battery! Thanks

[TheBlueBandits]

CANADIANS!!!!! SOOORY ABOOOT

[PROStrengthFIT]

wow I love this video, BUT the screen text covers the operation and leaves a person to guess how remove the 5 and 6 connectors... didnt anyone else see  ?

[spaceace2nd]

I will add to you all dont use a magnetic screwdriver as it can screw up you circuitry or micro chips up

[melchman71]

Viva la iPhone once again...

Dropped the damn thing in the washing maching and used this to take the iPhone apart to dry it out. Once it turned back on I used one of these demos to replace the screen...now 2 months later here I am switching batteries and the iPhone is almost brand new, one piece at a time

[Simon66noob911]

Lol. You sound like Kermit the frog and every time you say "down" you sound like the terminator :S

BTW. Nice tutorial.

[xxbox6191]

I got bad news for me I broken the 2 pins on the number 3 sticker, it was hard too connect the number 3 sticker so I didnt reconnect the number 3 ribbon and put back the covering and turn it on everything works includeding wifi and 3g, and the backlight works too, so I dont know what that ribbon number 3 is for, so I left that unconnected,

[Dsbarrynl]

REMOVE the battery with a credit card!! goed way better then a screwdriver!

[Dsbarrynl]

it worked perfectly for me :) thank you so much!!

[plroc]

Well done guys! bloody brilliant explanation! Thanks heaps

[Silb0tic]

well i did excatly everything as it is explained in this video. But the only thing i got .. is the apple ... and then a black screen.. in addition it only shows up, when the iphone is connected to the powercable. without anything... it doesn'T do anything... any idea?? is something broken ??? - err help? :D

[rob1516]

@Silb0tic : RETARD! HAHAHHAH!!

[melastudio17024]

All the word cover part of the operations....

[kinseygirl79]

Fantastic video! Easy to use. Helped me get my battery installed and with ease. It was not as delicate a process as I anticipated and I paid very close attention to the disassembly so that I knew exactly how to put it back together. I had to shut down all distractions.

[ongchorcool]

wow thanks for the tutorials 

[alphabet9898]

thanks, for the video. i have managed to change the battery, but now when i make a call the person on the phone that i am calling can hear me but i cant hear them, do you have any clue why this may be happening

[oldpink02]

Took awhile, but it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. Good luck on anyone attempting this. And don't be afraid to be a little hard on some of the equipment, they're relatively well protected. Thanks for the vid!

[NewYorkCityBoy1985]

Couldn't Apple make it as easy as the 1st generation phones to change the battery?

Nope, either you are brave enough to do it yourself with a high chance of breaking something if you are not an expert (so apple makes extra bucks from reapiring it) or send it to apple store to replace battery (more bucks for apple).

screw you

[dobbst]

This is by far the best instructional for replacing the battery. Hands down. But c'mon man, why'd you abandon us at the end? It took me about half an hour trying to get the #3 connector back on because I had no idea how that thing worked. Finally got it though and without your vid it wouldn't have been possible. Thanks!

[alexsensation1]

may ask you something give me the number the screw you used thanks.....

[mcchino64]

Excellent stuff, helped me replace my battery after my phone fell in my pint haha! Apple warrenty wont touch water damage and they wanted £140 to fix it?!?! between this video and a battery a got for a tenner my phone is now working fine (despite spots all over the screen). My only comment would be that refitting circuit board is fiddly and needs patience. as do the connectors - dont lose screws, put them n blue tac while u work

[tattoosteveneo]

Perfect instruction! Worked like a charm.

[cwebb321]

Hardest part i found was removing the 8 screws, none of my screwrivers had a proper fit. But got it done in a little while.

Putting it back together is easy, once the motherbored is back in and screwed down, place the screen at the top and slide it downwards while using a small flat head to push number 3 connector in. Once that's done then push back on 2 and 1 and then push the screen down. Easy

Just replaced mine with a battery with twice the capacity of the standard one,1500MAH to 3000MAH

[ryanmiyakawa]

This video is one of the better ones, but honestly, putting the phone back together is the hardest part, and you guys totally gloss over it

[jfdomega]

Very good video. I will use this information when the battery needs replacing, thank you. I gave 5* for this video!

[todd7623]

Thanks but that banner on bottom of screen is directly in the way of what you are doing.

[bfivelover]

Number three ribbon is the hardest to replace, then he doesn't even tell you how to replace it. Fast motion with no instruction. HELP!!!

[MrN0bady]

very helpfull ! I just replaced battery on my 3G , just one point you doing wrong - when you taking of screen you have to use a Suction Cup its mutch better then plastic tool

[ThePk7861]

i followed all of these directions and disconnected all of the stuff and when i was removing the screws, one of the screw wasn't coming off, i got the small screw driver with the battery so i used that so many times and used some other ones but it didn't work. that screw is freaking stuck like a glue and rest of them came off. i just left it there cuz i didn't wanna break anything when trying to open it. i put everything back and it turned on. to bad i could've put the new battery in.

[draarora]

Very useful... was able to replace it without any problems. Thanks

[mfragiao]

Just did it to my 3g. Very helpful. Need to note the camera metal bracket/clamp holding the camera in place. Mahalos.

[HackSwagBucks]

Reading from a script MUCH?

[Gounes]

Thnx

[rawfoodcuisine]

Just did this on my 1 day old 3G-S. I needed to get under the battery to place a Memon harmonizer chip, as the casing seems to have a sheet of aluminium in it. All was the same as the video except for an extra connector marked "7" where the label-covered screw was. Note that the lithium ion battery is very soft and will bend/dent easily from a screwdriver's prying as shown in the video. I had to use a credit card to pry out the battery effectively.

[alextheromanian]

why would you do this on a brand new iphone with a brand new battery?

voiding a BRAND NEW warranty????

[doricoro]

This gullible pseudo-scientist fears his testicles are being mutated by EMF. His chip brings harmony to his testicles. They will buy anything you convince them to, great for the economy!

[smittysays100]

LOL, looks like they had to kill a forest to build that room.

[lscdmg]

@smittysays100 Soooooooooooo funny man so funny

[coollavanya1997]

thanks awesome vid .Really helpful

best iphone tool= suction cup

[taul2k7]

man. they take 4eva to get to the point!

[ferio8]

i did mine! great! suction cup is the best tool! i used the suction cup from my GPS! hehe im giving you a 6 stars!!!!

[Harley04]

This is a great video, with excellent details, another I watched only said 7 screws, not 8, and showed disconnecting the camera lense, not removing it as here.

And this video also shows most of the re-assembly too.

I wonder what Mah the new battery is? What sort of life will it provide?

[aml8076]

I'm not a video expert but why would you cover the area that you're working on with the Step 3 title? Makes it very hard to get a clear shot. Otherwise, a very informative video. Thanks!

[alextheromanian]

i agree. it was annoying as all hell. one of the trickier parts you have to remember is covered by the instruction banner yet at the top of the video is just dead unused space...

[MACbenutzer]

no it's easy

[drumstyx6464]

how easy is it really? i've repaired my ipod touch 1st gen digitizer, but i spent so much money on this, i'm scared of screwing up a connector

[Geoff66XD]

Is this dangerous?
