Use these adhesive strips to hold your new battery in place: goo.gl/VCxtUK
Let me know if any of those links stop working.
This video will show how I replace the battery in my Apple iPhone 7. If your battery is lasting less than 2 or 3 hours, or maybe it gets to 30 percent and just shuts off randomly, it might be time for a new battery. Sometimes disconnecting the battery will get rid of any software errors like it did with the 1-1-1990 glitch: • January 1, 1970 Bricke...
Remember all repairs are done at your own risk. The repair itself is not that difficult if you have worked with tools before. And you are careful removing that screen.

Much easier to do on the Galaxy Note 7. Just plug the charger in, rattle the phone, and the battery just explodes out of the phone. Reassembly is a little tricky, though.
iphones do it too
paka roach don’t be that guy...
@@coolman2k2 iphones Bent hahajha
VerdactPlays atleast no one can die from a bent iphone
@@weirdmelvin335 lol both of these were long ago.
I was terrified to replace my battery because I had never done it before and I absolutely cannot afford a new phone if I effed it up. These directions were so easy and put my mind at ease to do this quickly and without incident. Thanks for helping me give my iphone 7 new life.
Well… did ya change battery yet?
@@wolfkat6492 Yes. Unfortunately, about two weeks later, I dropped the mf phone and it was toast, so I didn't get much life out of it. :(
@@WinkBlinkNod dang it haha. What kind of battery did you build into it? Was it a cheap one from AliExpress or an more expensive one?
While I ended up having to do the pry of shame, this video helped me immensely because every other guide I read made it sound like removing the barometric vent and taptic engine were necessary. This saved me so much time. Thanks!
I have to do the pry of Shame, any tip? I see the battery bending and i choked to go further i dont want to put the kitchen in fire
@@taniaares6883 I found I didn't need to pry all the way through. I pried just enough to be able to reach and pull the adhesive again, which helped a lot. The heat gun also helped to weaken the glue.
This is not only a basic battery replacement tutorial - This is storytelling about how to change the battery in a lyrical way. 😀👍
I was planning on replacing mine myself but after watching this video i cant help but see a dozen ways to mess it up considering all of the glue inside this phone. Best leave it to the people with experience and pay a bit extra. Having a lot of experience with diy myself, i’ve learned that you should know what you can fix and what you can mess up trying.
WONDERFUL! I accidentally clicked on this instead of 7+, but your directions were so succinct but thorough! My favorite part was about you warning us that the white sticky strip might break and then I believe you said "you will have to do the pry of life" or something witty. The 7+ had three strips and two came off fine. The third didn't! I had to do the "pry of life" - so difficult, and it ended up bending the old battery. So then I was thinking "if I don't get this new one in correctly, I'm f***ed!". All went well. New battery installed. Battery capacity meter in settings went from 70% to 100% and all is well! Today, you are my hero!
Hello. Other than the things you've described, is there any other difference in changing the 7+ battery from just the 7, please? I'm about to attempt both the battery _and_ the screen replacement on my battered iPhone 7+ and came hunting for a 7+ replacement video on Zack's channel but couldn't see one! Would like to learn from your experience if possible - thank you!
where did you buy the battery?
Cracked my screen instantly.
🤣🤣🤣
Rip
@@markboldariev yup
Fuuuuuuuuuu
If i change battery to iphone 7 will overheating issue be solved ??
Just coming back because I found this video incredibly helpful, but have a remark too.
Note that (other than said at 0:28) a suction cup is helpful, just make sure you REALLY heat up the respective area (bottom) with a hair dryer. when sufficiently warmed up, you can get under the display with a plastic opening chip without any hassle (no metal blade needed).
Other than that, just follow the video, it's been brilliant for me.
Thanks, 130 degree hot air for 10 minutes was the ONLY thing that could do the trick for me - no prying in the world would help in the case of my phone
Thank you for this video: I just changed my battery, and even though I had to do the "pry of shame" it worked well. One thing which I should point out is that when reinstalling the screen, there are 2 small tabs at the top of the screen that need to slide under the frame, so get these in place first, before gently pushing down and securing the rest of the screen
Where you able to see the battery life? Did it go back up to 100%
@LosBigga yes, it works well for me, the battery now lasts all day
He made this seem really easy. Nice to know. I keep my iPhones 4 years usually and always replace the batteries around the 3 year mark. They get weak at about 2.5 years.
Where u get ur batteries from?
@@Theoffcailme Same question. My battery is 4.5 years old lol
@@srikarvundavalli5934 Ebay or Amazon, dont expect a reply from the guy after a 4 year necro :D
@@amelanaestidal6549 Ebay is not available in my country. Amazon batteries also have some negative reviews and Apple service is asking half of what I would get if I sell the phone. I’m thinking about just selling it
@JerryRigEverything not only the suction cup was essential when i was replacing my battery but it was also essential to firstly heat the phone a little up. before that i was unable to insert the pry tool in the gap between the frame and display.
Your videos usually are amazing and "well made". I think this one gives me a feeling that you rushed it it's like you wanted to be done with it and not take your time and make a nice informative video like the others.
You cut the adhesive beneath the battery twice and in the end there was some left in the bottom. Also, you do not mention what we can do before we place the new battery, i mean does it come with its own adhesive in the bottom? Should you take off all of the adhesive left in the bottom from the previous battery?
Thanks for your videos mate they are truly brilliant.
I love your videos, and you have a great voice for this field of work.
+Albert Einstein Thanks Einstein. I appreciate it.
Awesome video, thanks for posting! Other videos recommend to remove a whole bunch of extra components which can only cause problems. I like that you have simplified the process. Keeping it simply means you are more likely for success. Great video thumbs way up!
it took me almost an hour to replace the battery because of that adhesive strip attatched and taking my sweet time prying the screen so i wouldnt scratch or crack it, but i was able to fix my little sisters phone from dying so quickly and apparently the battery i bought lasts longer than the original so thats a plus, thanks for the video the other two I watched just added unnecesarry steps
Amazing tutorial, with your help I managed to change the battery. It took me a while (30m) because I took extra care. One comment to make, my Iphone didn't have the ribbon you mention and I had to remove only one screw to install the battery. I had some trouble with the pull tabs. The first one broke just in the start and it was accesible, however, I managed to pull it offwhile removing the second one. I pulled and try to stick the blocked tab with the one I was removing and I managed to remove the two at the same time (got lucky I believe). Thanks for your help!
Jeez, that looks ever so simple, watching this video. But when I try by myself, I'm sure I screw everything up.
@@itzishaantv5448 dude that was 4 years ago haha
@@howardy8333 🤣🤣
you just gotta be confident
I’ve changed a bunch of iphone 6/6s screens and batteries and yeah
At first i was all shaky scared to break stuff and checking yt tutorials step by step
Then you can do them and watch some tv at the same time bc you get confidence 🤠
Thanks for making this video so simple and short. I hate videos that talk way too without adding information. One small suggestion, it would be very helpful to have one freeze frame of the assembled inside before closing it. Would be a nice reference to see how all parts align. Especially some of the metal covers. I followed your video and got mine replaced in 30 min.
Jerry, you forgot to put back in the waterresistant seal :(
where can i find to buy this seal?
Daniel Kalita ALWAYS buy from known companies because fake parts or parts from unknown company’s might not be made correctly and start a fire or ruin your phone.
@@randomyoutubevideos3503 that is true but you should only worry if ur trying to save as much money as possible if u are aiming for quality products they dont come cheap and when I said "ifixtit or websites like that" I meant only from trusted companies and ifixtit is a very trusted company tho their prices are quite high there are other websites I've used that sell for cheaper with almost or exactly the same quality
Yes he forgot that and he also fogot the adhesive sealed on the battery I'm very sure the battery will wiggle all the time🤣🤣
How do u put it in?
Two things buddy;
First you should've mentioned ESD precautions.
Second you also should have mentioned that removing the display without reapplying new screen stickers might affect water resistance quality and it won't be as resistant as it was before.
Thanks
Thanks for this! I've NEVER replaced a battery on a phone. I forgot that I had bought a battery for an iPhone 7 that I knew was dying, just rediscovered the phone and the battery a few days ago, and since I have a new phone now I figured; "why the heck not?" Followed these directions and it worked like a charm. Thankfully I already owned a similar pair of tweezers and my husband had a tiny screwdriver bit set. My old iPhone 7 can hold a charge and now I can use it for my second Pokémon Go account =)
Thanks! I've repaired several 5s, 6, 6s screens. But never a battery. My iPhone 7 battery had degraded to 78% so it needs to be done. Can't you buy the waterproofing seal though?
Dude, couldn’t have done it without you.
And hardly had any parts left over!
Thanks. Between your instructions and the instructions that came with the battery and tool kit, I was successful. I will note that your video was 3 minutes, but it took me almost two hours to do the job. Also, I wouldn’t advise any one should try this if they lack patience and a hands free lighted magnifier. I didn’t know screws could be that small.
hey Jerry...can you do a video on how to restore the waterproofing? I'm curious to know any methods available
Hi Jerry,
When you replace the new battery, i see you didn't put or apply any adhesive back on the battery. Does it rattle?
No as the adhesive is for it to be waterproof I believe
Hassan Ali yeah i had found out later on that it was for the battery to be in place however Apple also use the adhesive to block out any water from coming in as well as that @michael I had done my own iPhone 7 battery replacement and it was the absolute worst the battery kept and rattling because I didn’t put in any replacement adhesive so if you do plan on doing so I’d recommend investing in some adhesive strips
this procedure worked very well the less of messing with very very extra small screws is a big plus not messing with the taptic engine and the other cover greatly reduces the headache none of the other videos i watched worked it out like this
Did it. Got minor dent at the bottom frame but doesn't look noticeable. Removing adhesive part was true. Got one adhesive out easily but other broke while pulling it up. So I literally had to use plier to fold the battery a little bit to pull rest of the adhesive.
Great vid! I had no idea what I was doing and I did it in about 10 mins. Great tips as well! Didn’t even smash my screen
After the battery replacement, I think we lose the water resistance. Right ?
+Chinmay Dhumal indeed.
+JerryRigEverything
Zack... uff... i wanted to ask... coff coff... for the third time...
"Breathing"
Alright. Are you gonna test de xiaomi mi5S and the le eco le pro 3? They both have a snap 821, and very inexpensive.
You can buy another adhesive strip to go around the screen and if done properly, can bring the water resistance back!
Jerry rig: just cut through all this water proof adhesive
Guy: does this take away the water proofing?
Chinmay Dhumal
Got an old iPhone 7 from my Granddad and the Battery Capacity is at 30% xD
Now I`m gonna try to replace that thing. Funny to see how your channel improved over these 8 Years!
Great video. Quck on detailing the steps and showed how to remove the battery adhesive by hand where as other videos used something to wrap the adhesive around. Using your video, I was able to remove the adhesive perfectly where as in the past it always broke on me. Thanks for making this!!!!!
Awesome guide took 20 mins but successful changed in first attempt 😃 thank you
Awesome. Super helpful and very easy swap. I was worried I’d have to take all the cables out to get to it. This made things super simple.
I knew I shoulda replaced the battery when I just had done the screen a few weeks ago. 😂😂
This is far from easy to replace a battery. Why you can't just access it like anything else should be criminal. Apple wants you to either break the phone or not try replacing it. This is disgusting.
Looks very easy so I hope it is!! I am going to try and put my iPhone 6 battery into my iPhone 7. But I’m probably going to need a new iPhone 7 battery! Current battery drains WAY too fast!! But thanks for these instructions. My daughters flat out told me that I cannot do any of this!! I’ll let ya know!!
been watching for a long time decided this morning im going to subscribe because your the only one i see everywhere with solutions to most the things people need to fix day to day
We want a Google Pixel Bend Test!!!!
are you planing to do a durability test on the Google Pixel? I'm very interested to see how the back of that phone holds up.
+Joshua Gilcrease I'm planning on it!
JerryRigEverything Noooooo DONT 😁
JerryRigEverything Sony Xperia XZ review please
Perfectly removed the screen.
Breathed a sigh of relief.
Ribbon cables both snapped.
You make everything look so easy. thumbs up
Have just completed this battery replacement myself. Thank you kindly for posting the video, Jerry :-)
Did your home button work?
Croaker Outdoors it did work and it does work.
@@OilBaron100 Thanks, glad to hear it. Mine decided not to =/
Croaker Outdoors unfortunate to hear. You may have somehow damaged the button’s wire ribbon or connector.
@@OilBaron100 Undoubtedly so. My fault for not researching the swap thoroughly enough. I have an SE replacement coming in tomorrow so lesson learned.
It's always pleasure to watch your videos, even if I don't have an iphone nor plan to buy one in the future
Thanks man. Got an iphone 7 that I'm going to start to use as my main phone again. Battery says 77 percent capability so basically service. Will buy battery for a tenner on ebay and follow these steps. Legend.
Last time I was this early, The I phone still had a headphone jack

Plus the galaxy s10
Thank you for making this video. Swapping my battery was a piece of cake.
Actually went smoother than I expected my replacement battery showed up and watched a previous video that said to remove taptic engine; however, the screwdriver they sent didn't work which left me at loss for trying to figure out how to remove it. Found this video and said I didn't need to remove it but just pull the glue tabs carefully. Thank you again.
Thanks for the help. I had both tapes break and had to do the pry or die...and actually pierced the battery had some smoke. But all in all seeing what to expected managed the expectation angst. I saved time and money. Thanks again
You know the screws are tiny, when even under 3X zoom and watching the video on full-screen they STILL look tiny.
Hey Sir!
Why didn’t you put the water/dust resistant seal?
Quick tip I figured out how to reinstall the waterproof adhesive without removing the display. After you peal the Bottom off the gasket cut a hole in the center of the plastic to clear the cables and make a snip with small side cutters so that you can twist it and locate in position, them remove the top plastic and bam it’s back sealed up and without unhooking the display cables. Thanks less than 5 minutes to add the gasket. Great video, I followed it for my battery and was inspired on how to easily seal up the phone.
I was surprised at how easy it was. 3 minutes to get the old battery out yes. Putting it back together took me a bit longer though no longer than 10 minutes. You should order the toolkit or at least have a magnetic screwdriver. The screws are tiny and you don’t want to lose them.
When Apple replaced my iPhone 6 Plus screen, it had 'sharp edges' when going from the screen into the metal casing, while it was flush before. I was wondering whether you also have this now you have replaced the screen.
I find these videos relaxing like ASMR.
Tho I'm happy sticking with my Note 4 with a removable battery.
Quick video but incomplete. You forgot to say about the splash proof after this opration, i think is usefull, and you are the only one who does not remove the screen which is a plus. Ok video
I did break one of the adhesive strips and commenced the pry of shame LOL. I saved the day by using 3 rigid plastic sticks as cantilevers to lift the battery from 1 side (since i was able to remove the adhesive strip on one side). I guess i was lucky combined with that battery is almost drained, it didn't catch a fire. I did it outdoor just to make sure it doesn't catch a fire anywhere near the house
Im worried opening the iPhone 7 will compromise the waterproofing!
Right? He doesn't even mention re-applying the waterproofing adhesive or the battery adhesive.
@@tommyverstraete5678 4 years too late, re-applying the adhesive is a very simple task
What about the IP67 rating after the repair?
gone
Do remember: DIY repair=Void warranty.
Steve Swanson unless you're able to reapply the adhesive and the parts that make the phone IP67 rated.
not water resist
the goo around the screen is all over the place ....so IP0
Ok 👏 all finished. just had a nervous breakdown but it should all be working!!
Thanks that’s a piece of cake compared to changing the screen on a Motorola A4. I had to break out the heat gun I use for SMD work and the same tool you did. Luckily it comes out a lot easier than the Moto and easier than I thought. Thanks for the video. It showed me where to pry, just finished mine. Keep it up 👍. Thanks
What about replacing/reapplying the waterproofing adhesive of the iPhone?
Apparently he was clueless about that
@@StudioLB yup, wasn't very helpful on where to place new tape or gasket has, he didn't change neither of them, off to the next video to get it done properly, IOl.
Is the waterproofing gone after this?
Scott G. Yes
Scott G. Is there a way to make it waterproof after the repair ?
+Sylvain Alain
Adding a few amount of silicone maybe?
if so, you can make 6s or other iPhones waterproof too.
I'm pretty sure the 6s doesn't have water proof ports or speaker grills so good luck with that. You could make the i7 mostly water resistant again by replacing that adhesive on the frame during the repair but replicating the factory seal is an unrealistic expectation.
Unfortunately our 'kit' only came with plastic pry tools.
Was impossible to pry open, even after heating.
You have made it so easy👍🙏 Need to know does all iPhone use exactly the same kind of battery!
“”In 3 minutes” hahahahaha good joke bro. Video helped me a lot though , thanks 🙏
"Unable to activate TouchID on this iPhone" - Does opening the phone now break the chain of trust? I thought only swapping the sensor did.
Also, this obviously makes your phone non-waterproof.
Mies van der Lippe The iPhone is water resistant, not waterproof
Vortex 7654
Even less waterproof* ;)
Touch ID not activated means that he ripped that cable when he lifted the display too high.
Touch ID is not activated because he let it deactivated on purpose
Best video ever. The hardest part was opening the cover. Took about 30 minutes total. Thank you!
IMPORTANT TIP / METHOD: if the adhesive tears it will take 1-2 hrs vs 15 minutes. fill a cap with alcohol and a couple q-tips. using the tweezers start to peel back the adhesive and after every / every other small movement back and keeping pressure pulling the tab, dab with a small drop of alcohol with q-tip. Videos say to pull back evenly but it should be more at 60-90 degrees because the metal behind the tab is what causes it to tare
Why would you change battery for iPhone 7? Unless you watch this in 2017-2018 onwards...
chamber40 I indeed need a new battery on my 7. Hello from the future
Hi there from 2019
I’m replacing my battery tomorrow. I hate that it’ll lose its water resistance, tho.
plz do a durability test on Google pixel
Thanks Jerry for thus at last someone that gives us a proper basic how to for things
@JerryRigEverything
Just done this on the *2016 iPhone 7 Plus.* Thanks for the guide. Those pull tabs tho' got me. The 7 Plus has *3* (three). I was able to pull the right and left without issues, but the middle one tore off -- taking me another 10 minutes to shimmy the battery out.
Once all is set and done, I've successfully swapped the 3 year old *2900 maH* battery with a *3300 maH replacement.*
The *Battery Health* settings went from a used *85%* back to *100%.*
And this *slightly bigger* capacity replacement doesn't seem like it's going to be drained as fast. Onwards, with the 7 Plus for another 3 years *(Year 2022).*
I've also purchased a *$9.99 Qi charging lightning pad* and put a matte black case on it. Now I have *wireless charging.* 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Did you use a suction cup or not because I wanna do this but idk if I should use a suction cup??
Why didn't you mention this will ruin the water resistance?
I thought that was implied. But I'll be sure to mention it in my screen repair video.
as if iphones are fucking water proof ! but...but... apple said it is. no just no maybe shower proof
Mine fell in a pool, took it out and it was like new.
I dropped mine in the toilet, and it wasn’t broken or anything
Does this make it not water proof?
Simon Haley yep
Oh
nihal cavadzade Well water resistant then.
The adhesive surrounding the sides is no longer there to prevent water from seeping in around the edges
Kae Esrial That's brill that
Just did one of these. Took 6-8 heating the phone and pulling on the display to get a gap. Once I got a spudger into the two bottom corners. I heated the sides of the phone and then was able to slide the spudgers up to the top releasing all the clips. Then gently try to separate the top of the display by wiggling and sliding it down carefully.
Best of luck not cracking it. Razor blade is helpful to get the bottom started like jerry did with the tool in the video.
Took about a half hour or longer to open the phone and not destroy the glass.
Did it. Thanks for the part that we don't need to disassemble the Taptic engine as other tutorial show as well as the suction cup.
🔋🔋🔋🔋
By the way, I've always wondered, why is there so few tests of Sony phones?
I think it'd be interesting to see how the XZ compares to other phones.
Love these videos man, so informative!
Thank you! I think you helped me decide that I will probably have someone with more tech experience do this for me... 🙃
Cool. Doesn't look significantly different/harder to repair than the iPhone 6. In fact, if it weren't for the additional adhesive it would be virtually the same.
1:28 that's what she said
Well said captain!
Diego gigity
so after a battery replacement the phone looses its water resistance?
Taytoni for sure better take it to Apple to make sure it's done properly.
Love your videos. This one is 5 years old but it just helped me replace a battery on my 8 year olds iPhone 7 so thanks a lot !
Also awesome job on your electric Hummer. So cool.
Can u please provide me the link to order battery for iPhone 7 ?
Again love your easy to follow tutorial, I guess miss the time since my screen is cracked!
The iPhone battery is easier to change than on most Android flagship...
Times have changed...
it always has been like that if you didn't have a removable back. Apple knows how to make its phones easily accessible and are using the same design from like the first iphone. So yeah, nothing new...
well i remember most of phones of that time having a removable back. that's what i meant with my comment.
I was young tho, so I might not remember correctly
I have to agree with you. Those pentalobe screws make it easy to pop it open and close it back numerous times whereas Samsung phones need to apply heat and re-apply adhesive, meh
It wasn't always like that, the first iPhone's were terribly difficult to open and worse, the battery was soldered to the board.
What? No. I just have to pull off my back cover and I can pull it out. Easy as that.
and you lost the water resistant ability after doing this ?
Indeed. No more water resistance.
That should be a no brainer.
He's trying to help you, you idiot.
My 7 wasn't even water resistant it just broke after being underwater for 5 seconds
I saw when you were done it said your Touch ID will not work anymore. Have you ever found a fix for this because mine is doing the same after the replacement. Thanks for the help
Apple engineer: "Hey, let's force users to upgrade by making the battery difficult to change."
Time Traveller: "So you have chosen death."
Apple engineer: "Huh?"
BANG.
I just watch this bc it's so relaxing for me
Hi, I run a phone repair service and am opening a DiY section on my website. May I use your videos for the tutorial section as longs as i link them to your youtube channel please?
+Jeramey Wilson you can embed the videos wherever you want! Just don't reupload them. Thanks for asking!
Thank you I appreciate it
Just changed mine - no issues at all woo hoo ! The replacement kit I bought for $10 came with new waterproofing rubber but I didn't install it. Great video !
Brilliant video. Hug. Suggest adding removal of part to get the "bubble gum" stuff out
rather than the pry of shame - you just lift the battery a little to get any remaining "bubble gum" you broke off out.
My anxiety level is through the roof 🤣. Not even gonna try and attempt this
There goes the water resistant looool
Top video man nonetheless!
love the commentary! haha, but you’re missing the adhesive! you must glue that battery down and put a new seal around your bezel or the phone with be “squishy”.
Thanks J not sure if I have a I 7 or? But this was very helpful as my battery hs to be charged evey5-6 hours and the idiots at the stores only want to sell me a new phone.
2:15, Magic!
I guess
does any smartphone with ip certification 67 or 68, once opened wont be anymore water resistant?
It will not be water resistant anymore after being opened.
mateus pollonio No, it will not be water resistant anymore. Opening the phone will also void your warranty, no matter the circumstances.
To answer your question more adequately, opening the phone and then re-sealing it exposes it to all kinds of danger ranging from water leaks or dust infiltration because the then tightly sealed body will be slightly open and expose it to the elements. No water resistance, no warranty.
Hope this helped, have a good day, sir!
***** I'm not too sure, but I'm fairly certain they will also say it's not water resistant anymore since the device has been opened and they can't guarantee that no water or dust will seep in
nanank99, If it is under warranty, they are rich enough to just replace your phone.
This is an extremely tricky procedure, not easy as video implies. Opening the case requires a Stanley blade, plastic kit tools OK when started. Had a screen protector fitted, substantially reducing cracking risk. Remove the taptic, 3 screws, keep separate, they are different, to give yourself the best chance of extracting the battery adhesive, its a nightmare when it snaps. Ensure you note the plastic hooks top end of phone otherwise they snap off, slide down front to open. Mine all snapped off but no detrimental effect. The metal cover has 4 screws the longer one is closest to phone edge. Screws are the tiniest Ive ever dealt with, it requires immense care/diligence not to lose any .I cleaned out the sealing gasket. Closed phone with battery fitted but home button didnt work even though not touched. It is powered by the battery, no mechanical spring. Broke top tape while attempting to diagnose home button problem, new camera reqd. Phone with repairer at present!
WOW.......N E V E R M I N D then. Billy boy sure made it VERY complicated.
after repair iphone 7 down water resist to ip 00
