    Another week, another battery replacement. This is my previous smart phone. I meant to replace the battery just over a year ago, but moving houses for in the way.

    Catching up now.

    The dreaded glue challenge of modern phones, really makes you work for it. This old phone is destined for workshop camera uses mostly.

      @ottaross I've replaced the glass on iPads several times. It's a PITA.

        Yay! I'm in. That's the tough part. Now about 37 screws of salt-grain size.

            Got all the screws out and I'm heating the battery through the front glass with a heat pack.

            Sore backs and cell phones both yield to the ol' heat pack.

              @ottaross

              I've had success with the glue on google pixel phones using the bed of my 3d printer to heat them up (never tried it with apple however)
