The power element is a rather vulnerable part on any modern devices. We "force" our batteries with improper recharges, cold, drops and many more than that. This is especially true for Apple devices, in which it will be expensive to change such a detail. Therefore, lovers of their devices should know how to change the battery on the iPhone 5 or 5S on their own.

This material is not useful to everyone. If for some reason you think that your hands from the wrong place are not suitable for performing such delicate work as replacing a battery, you should not. Harm and then pay will have a lot more. If you are quite confident in your abilities, and even more so if you are a jeweler or a neurosurgeon in the tenth generation, then boldly get down to business - the main thing is not to shake hands. A similar type of repair in good services costs 2500 rubles each. Hardly anyone wants to give that kind of money in 15 minutes of work at a battery cost of 500–1000 rubles.

Directly, the replacement of the desired part

Let's start with exactly why this article was created: the replacement of the iPhone 5 battery, as well as models 5S and 5C. For all three models in the algorithm is not, since the case is made the same.

Nevertheless, it is strongly recommended that after reading this part, not to close the page and rush to disassemble your gadget. And at least run over what is written below. It is not necessary, like all Russian people, to read the instructions when the smoke goes.

What is useful for changing the battery:

1. two screwdrivers: Pentalobe and ordinary cross;
2. a small plastic spatula, if you can call it that, a metal one will do, but not a knife or other sharp object, some use a guitar pick;
3. Sucker with a ring or other lever, which is convenient to grasp.

• Turn off our "Five".
• Pentalobe screwdriver unscrew the two screws on the sides of the connector for charging.

• We stick the suction cup to the display next to the Home button, press it properly.
• Holding the phone case with two fingers, with a careful movement we pull the ring.
• After the appearance of a small gap below, we pick up with a spatula and open it completely. It should be understood that at the other end of the display is connected to the back of the loops, so completely separate the front and back panels immediately fail.
• With any object, we fix the raised screen of the smartphone at an angle of 90 degrees so that you can conveniently work “under the hood” of the device.
• Cross screwdriver unscrew the gasket in the upper right corner. It holds on three bolts.
• Disconnect the cables that are located under it. After that, the display can be freely disconnected and removed for a while.
• With the help of a conventional screwdriver, unscrew the gasket, under which is the battery cable. It is located near the bottom of the battery.
• Disconnect the cable.
• Use the paddle to disconnect the battery with soft movements. He, as a rule, is glued and will not immediately want to leave his place.

Disconnect the battery

• We put our battery. We do everything in the reverse order: cable, gasket, display cable, bolts near the speakers. The main thing - do not confuse the bolts and do not forget to return them to their seats.

That's all the instructions.

What not to do

Oddly enough, many people like to make mistakes, which will be written below. They can make the process of harming a smartphone out of replacing the battery on the iPhone 5S or 5.

• Do not try to unscrew the bolts if you see that the screwdriver does not fit. All parts are very delicate, and so you just rip the slot (drawing or connector under the screwdriver), after which it can hardly be unscrewed. A Pentalobe screwdriver is required, as only it can safely unscrew the two external screws.
• Do not make sudden movements. You work with the display - the most gentle and expensive part of the gadget. It is for this purpose that the sucker is used - in order to minimize the chance of damage. The same applies to work with the rest of the phone.
• Very carefully disconnect the cables. This is another part, which is then difficult to change, and, in general, to find. However, anyone can accidentally break off the contact with his bear paw, so use the tools.

Compliance with such simple rules will ensure success in replacing the battery on the iPhone 5. Here, in the literal sense, it is in your hands.

What batteries should be put

This is exactly the question of probable smoke. If you saw a sale on Aliexpress and took a battery from there, then it is unlikely that it will last too long. Most likely, in a couple of months the battery on the iPhone will again be discharged in two hours.

At the same time, you should not even try to find and buy native parts. Such free sale is not found. Their Apple delivers exclusively to the official service centers, which, by the way, in Russia is not so much. Yet assurances from other repair shops about the "official" battery life are 90% false. They use high-quality replica, but not original parts. If they are really relatives, it means that they were removed from the disassembled iPhone. And what happened to them before that is impossible to know.

What then to take? Good battery really can be found. But for this they need not be original. It is enough to find a good component store for Apple devices, on the Internet or in your city. The detail will be as close as possible to the factory in quality, and therefore will serve the same period. With the purchase of Pentalobe screwdrivers, usually there are no problems.

So, now you know that replacing the battery on the iPhone 5 / S / C is not so difficult. Go to him wisely, so you can save a certain amount of money. To cope with an adult person under the force, if only with this force not to overdo it.
