I spent 10 hours and 300 dollars on a new state of the art soldering iron (both of my old ones were pretty bad) and it broke the iron. Never do this! Hire a professional! At first I got a white screen, and soon it went to blank.
how do u SOLDER the battery wires? I have like glue everywhere on it and its messed up and I have some wires stickin out (a rly thin and tiny one) and its rly ahrd to plug them in HELP
@ninjadudevideos Generally I'd agree it's safe to solder a battery. However most people watching these video posts are not experienced and do not realize how much heat a battery can suck up very quickly, Li-ion Polymer batteries do have a reputation for catching on fire and bursting, how much energy one must put into the battery is of debate, but I'd rather be safe than sorry with my video posts.
@ninjadudevideos Noobs might use to much heat, damageing the battery @iPhoneLifevideoblog You forgot some points. 1. The original battery is GLUED ULTRA STRONG to the phone. I was very careful but while applying force, I ripped out the black cable + soldering point from pcb. A. cut cables B. unstick battery. 2. I soldered the cables the OTHER way. Touching ground with red(+) cable won't do anything ;) Then white(soc) and last black(ground). After plugging it in I works again. rgds
I soldered my battery in the order of white, black, then red... My iPhone isn't powering up and it isn't recognized when I plug it into the computer still. Does the order of soldering affect anything, or do I have another issue?
@shayman1337 With the back side up and the bottom facing you, the power cables should be from left to right; red, white, black. Generally when you attach batteries you attach the ground first and positive last, that means for the iPhone (back off, bottom facing you) you start from the right attaching the black, then white, then red battery leads. make sure you have them soldered on correctly, it may take a while for a new battery to charge, you should charge with a charger not your computer.
@iPhoneLifevideoblog I have a car charger and when I plug into that the iPhone powers and tries to charge. The phone thinks it has full power (the power meter says full idk why), but once I unplug the phone from the charger it immediately dies. I think the battery isn't doing any thing. Do you think it's a good idea to desolder the connections and then resolder in the right order?
@shayman1337@shayman1337 The leads coming off the battery and attached to the mother board must be, from left to right, in this order; red white, black. That is the only way the iPhone will power up or charge. If you have the battery connected right and it's still not charging, there's a good chance the ribbon cable which runs under the battery is either unclipped or not fully clipped into the mother board or it's dead, in which case it would need to be replaced. That is very delicate work.
I believe you fried your motherboard, because, if you leave your solder close to the motherboard for a while, it can heat up quickly, and ruin it. It happened to me, accidents happen.
I had the same problem as flybabafly. The black battery cable came off while reseating the motherboard cables. Can I solder the black back on or do i have to remove all 3? Worried about having the red already connected.
@bmwm3tz Be careful of course, but I would clip a heat sink clip on the black, put a piece of cloth over the battery just to put something between it and me, of course I would always wear eye protection, and solder it back on.
@srsplanet wow your bold. I find the 3G(s) is a piece of cake to swap the battery out, with little chance of damaging the case, or shorting anything out.
ok. the thing i don't get is how to connect the new battery wires. i tried using a soldering iron and solder the wires on but its not staying on. i dont know exactly where to put the wires.
@KhmerChic26 I've just posted a very short video response to try and illustrate where you're soldering and suggest what you can do if you have limited/no experience soldering to help make this a success.
@KhmerChic26 Good point. You can just snip the wires between the battery and iPhone. You do need to take the glue off the terminal though, I usually use a small exacto knife and pick off just enough to desolder.
hi! i did a screen replacement of my iphone 2g and im a it stuck. im having such big problems making the ribbons go on to the motherboard, ive still not made them click on, but the black cable to the battery had fallen off the motherboard. will the battery work without this cable? or will i have to glue it on or something? i do not have a heat iron. please help!!!!! great videos by the way!
@srsplanet i realized that. not that i tried to glue it, but i went up to the shop and bought a heat iron. it was so much more easy than i thought it would be!
i just removed the metal case and now it's all bent... damn apple.. dont make things easy for you.

You are the baby.
I'd like to see your face if a cheap replacement lipoly battery explodes and spews it contens into it.
Id recommend to cut the old wires and to solder the new wires to the old ones. that is easier for beginners.
then insulate the wires and your good to go.
