As a computer repair technician, sometimes I get other requests from a current customer. For example one of my customers wanted me to diagnose her Apple iPhone 4S smart phone. I could only get this smartphone device to power on and work one time.
I had discharged and then charged this battery multiple times. However, I could not get this device to start up properly again. After researching this on the Internet, I concluded that an Apple iPhone battery replacement was in order.
There are two screws that you need to remove from the bottom. You will not be able to remove the back cover without removing these two screws. After you remove these two screws then you will be able to remove the back cover.
You might want to use a smartphone plastic pick, similar to a guitar pick to loosen the cover. You do not necessarily want to use a screw driver or other metal device, because you may end up scratching this Apple iPhone model 4S smart phone. You can flip the smartphone so that back cover is visable.
You will want to push the back cover upwards and away from yourself. Then the cover will slide off quite easily. This Apple iPhone 4S came with a Li-ion battery.
There are two really small screws located on the bottom left of this battery that you have to remove, in order to take out the small attachment. You do not want to loose this attachment. Now you can take a plastic smartphone pick or other type of tool that will not scratch up this Apple iPhone model 4S Li-ion battery.
This smartphone battery was glued onto the back side. You can slowly, loosen the battery and glue with your plastic smartphone type tool. Eventually, the smartphone battery will loosen enough so that you can take it out.
The battery connection now pops out too, because you removed the back cover piece earlier. Now all you have to do is install the replacement battery. You have two really small screws and the small attachment to install again.
You do not want to forget the two larger bottom screws. You do not want the back cover to come off. Congratulations, you have just completed an Apple iPhone smart device battery replacement for the model 4S A1387.

look it up it's a model 813 87 EMC 24 30
0:19

0:22
my hand
0:22
it's a 4s so it's got two Torx screws
0:27
you know you see that one right there on
0:29
the right-hand side the other one I took
0:31
out just for demonstration so you're
0:34
going to you're going to need a Torx
0:36
screwdriver which is these type you see
0:39
the connector you see how it's different
0:43
it's four Torx you need a real probably
0:46
the smallest one or a really small one I
0:48
didn't have one but what I did have was
0:50
a really small flathead that I was able
0:54
to get the screws loose but you should
0:56
just recommend they use a Torx
0:58
screwdriver and so what I'm going to do
1:01
I'm just left the screw there and I'm
1:04
going to take it out real quick I should
1:06
be able to take it out using a fill a
1:11
Torx it's so loose I can I can loosen up
1:16
with my thing I just want to show that
1:17
for demonstration and then so you've got
1:20
you can have four screws and one of the
1:25
other two are really small okay so now
1:28
what you do is you push away so you push
1:31
the the cover it's going to come loose
1:35
but you have to push away and so you
1:40
just or you could might do like this and
1:42
just push on it really hard you see how
1:45
it came loose you want to be careful you
1:48
don't scratch the glass so you might go
1:50
do with your hands and you just keep
1:52
pushing and then pull up and then
1:55
there's the cover the bottom cover I did
2:00
not you you know I'm saying so we'll
2:02
just put that over here now here's the
2:04
battery it's an eye on this
2:08
customer brought me this Apple iPhone 4s
2:12
and they want me to try to get the data
2:13
off of it because it doesn't work where
2:15
I got her to boot correctly once and it
2:18
the biota was charged and it wanted the
2:21
customers four-digit pin but it quit
2:24
working again so it could be the battery
2:26
now there's going to be two screws right
2:31
here you try to point them out there's
2:34
going to be a screw here right here and
2:40
a screw right here and they're both
2:43
Phillips let me show you the one up here
2:46
is the Phillips right there and then
2:50
this piece is going to come off do not
2:51
lose this piece it attaches it snaps
2:57
down on the corner over here but you
3:00
need it so don't lose it
3:03
now I remove both screws then the you
3:10
might you know like how this is a pic
3:13
this one broke but you can get these
3:17
little tools to pry you want to use
3:19
plastic because you don't want to
3:21
scratch up like screens and and plastic
3:24
or you might be able to use like a a
3:27
Phillips like this but you just pry you
3:31
just pry the batteries you don't want to
3:34
start scratching things up but it will
3:36
it there's glue on it so you just pry is
3:39
better to use these plastic tools like
3:43
this but this one broke so it's really
3:45
no good I mean I can't really pry it all
3:48
underneath there but so I'm just going
3:50
to do it really lightly and you can hear
3:53
the tape the blue you can hear the glue
4:00
and then it'll eventually left up you
4:03
can also pull over here but I prefer
4:05
just to lift this up here and then I
4:09
might be able to there we go and so as
4:14
you can see it's glued now you want to
4:16
be careful and this comes off right here
4:20
just it pops right off you see how it
4:22
just popped right off and when you go
4:25
snap it back down that's why you don't
4:29
want to lose this piece right here I
4:31
believe you do not want to lose this
4:33
piece because that snaps back down once
4:36
you screw that that snaps back down
4:38
right here but supposedly you don't want
4:42
to lose this piece so don't throw it
4:44
away
4:45
because you see where it is a little
4:48
like a little snap that snaps down there
4:52
alright so it comes off there it is and
4:55
as you can see the the glue residue
4:59
which i think is okay you know you just
5:03
kind of maybe roll it back where it was
5:05
or there's a screen here too there's a
5:08
plastic screen here that protects the
5:12
other components you don't want to tear
5:14
this off and I'll just leave it like
5:17
that
5:17
and then what I'm going to do is I'm
5:21
going to try to find a replacement
5:22
battery for this 4s and what I do when I
5:26
get replacement parts is if you notice
5:29
there's a APN number which is 6 1 6 0 5
5:34
a - there's a VPN number a + PB 10 1801
5:39
I try to get the exact same model and
5:41
you could with old devices like this
5:45
eBay or even maybe Amazon I mean I don't
5:49
know you might be able to find anyone
5:50
but to me I'm I don't know if you can
5:55
get them from Apple but let's say you
5:57
could or another vendor they'll charge
6:00
you a lot more whereas you can probably
6:02
get these maybe from eBay or Amazon or
6:06
wherever you can get them and obviously
6:08
from eBay and Amazon about Amazon
6:11
today well maybe maybe Amazon used but
6:14
definitely eBay you might find use one
6:16
so then let's just say that this is the
6:18
replacement one but yeah you definitely
6:21
if you're in doubt look up on batteries
6:25
and hard drives or whatever it is on
6:27
electronics and computers and smart
6:30
devices just look up the serial note
6:33
well the purchase number the model
6:38
number or you know these kind of numbers
6:41
APN number so that you can match it when
6:44
you order you get the correct part so
6:47
we'll just demonstrate you just so it's
6:51
still got a little bit of glue you just
6:55
snap it back in place I'll just make
6:59
sure it's kind of flush so when I put
7:02
the cover back on it you know and then
7:06
this snaps right off our synapse right
7:10
back down but you know what I probably
7:12
should have snapped at down first it'll
7:18
snap down right on top and then you see
7:21
how the lines up you want to make sure
7:24
it lines up with that other hole for the
7:26
top screw it's a little bit off but for
7:29
this video I'm not too worried see where
7:31
it lines up want to make sure it lines
7:34
up here what we can do is we can take
7:36
the battery up and we can connect it
7:39
hook it up first like I did that one
7:41
time
7:44
yeah sorry but I have to do this with
7:47
one hand
7:51
there it goes you see how it's lined up
7:54
now the whole let's use this other you
8:00
see how it's now lined up because when
8:03
we use tighten the screw it's going to
8:05
go through another hole and there so you
8:09
want to make sure those line up and then
8:10
you just move the battery in and then
8:13
what you would do then put the cover
8:18
back on and just let's see I know I did
8:24
this before and then it's going to move
8:30
your let me me and this room I'll just
8:43
okay let's see I'm working on getting a
8:47
set up with the camcorder I just do this
8:50
for now so let put it back on
8:54
okay okay I think it'll work
9:04
you might want to start at the top and
9:07
then just there it goes you see you out
9:13
went now
9:14
so I started there's a little tab at the
9:16
top I just pushed I started at the top
9:20
made sure it was pressed down then I
9:22
pressed down at the bottom a little bit
9:24
and then I pushed against it
9:26
so you want to push the opposite way and
9:29
you see how it's flush now and then what
9:31
you do when you put it back and then
9:35
obviously what you do is then put the
9:38
two screws back and they're right here
9:42
they are the Torx type screws right
9:47
there that one and that one but you
9:50
should try to use a Torx screwdriver but
9:52
I was able to use a really small
9:54
flathead and that's it that's how you
9:57
would replace the Apple 4's battery
10:02
Apple iPhone 4s battery adios
