Adhesive tapes can be a (rhymes with witch!)

내 문제

The existing battery on my phone was swelling. I thought that it would be a good idea to replace it with a new one.

나의 수리

Opening up and disconnects went fine. However, when I tried to remove the adhesive strips, they broke. I had to use a heating pad (did not have an iOpener) to attempt to soften and remove the battery and adhesive. It took a while to heat and pry the battery from the case. When I tried to apply the new adhesive to the battery the adhesive strips got soft and stretched. It was not a pretty job; but, I got the battery installed. Connecting the new battery was difficult since I did not align it properly when I attached it to the case.

내 조언

1) Take the removal of the old adhesive strips very slowly.

2) If they break, give the iOpener (or other heating device) time to soften the old adhesive strips.

3) Do a dry run attachment (without the new adhesive strips) to see the correct alignment of the new battery in the case and connection.

4) Try to attach the new strips in a cool room so they do not soften. Be quick and deliberate in placing the adhesive strips.
