*This battery reconditioning program exceeded my presumptions. It worked on any drill battery, several AA and AAA batteries, **batery.repair** and any camera battery. The steps are simple and the act itself is exciting to do. No matter what type of battery you`ve got, it is sure to function again!*

It's good that you popped the clip by accident to make ppl aware of the issue. Very useful guide. Thank you!

haha! My little black connector popped off as well when I took the old battery out. I was relieved to find out that yours did the same thing later on in the video and you fixed it! awesome!

You just saved me! I was sweating when the black part popped out the way you show in your video...I thought I had damaged something...then I just bumped into your video and fixed it the way you said. Thanks a lot!!!

Thank u SO MUCH! I got my son's phone working again because of your help! I'm a legend in my house- OK IN MY OWN MIND! My son took one look at the tiny screws and said, forget it Mom. I'll have to get a new phone. He's 11. I said oh wee little one of tiny faith, I have help! I have TECH DADS VIDEO! TY SOOOO MUCH!

GREAT advice about the egg carton. I followed your instructions to the letter and easily replaced the battery. The new battery was pretty dead, but powered up in about ten minutes. Everything was in good working order when I turned my phone back on. Thank You!

Thanks a lot! recently replaced battery and that grounding piece came off! Had no idea what to do with it, your video clarified!

Thank you for a great video! Ordered my battery/liberation kit and paid overnight shipping to get it today (absolutely need my phone). Just followed what you did. Had the little black antenna pop out as well. It's nice to have a working phone!

Helpful indeed. As you mentioned the two little screws differ slightly in length. The shortest one should go in the upper slot, which also holds the little grounding thing that you were having trouble with.

Thanks, worked fine for me. Bought a kit online and it took 10 minutes to replace the battery. Watch out for the grounding clip, it popped out on mine too, but easily replaced. Worth watching the whole video before you start so you know what to expect. Replacement battery was 66% charged. Now on charge, so hopefully will be a good replacement. First battery lasted over 2 years with charge dropping to about 3-4 hours before replacement.

Wonderful video. Clear, easy to follow, and I echo the comments of the other viewers about getting the little clip back in place. I will look for your videos/website whenever I need to do a repair like this. Thanks!

Fantastic. My screen went blank but the phone was still working so I followed your instructions, disconnected then reconnected the battery and everything is working fine. Thanks for the extra tip about the little clip thing that pops out. That was a bit tricky. Keep up the good work.

Yep - worked as advertised. Thanks for the warning on the black tab popping out, and on keeping the screws separate. The only unexpected challenge I ran into was that the black ribbon that attaches the screw plate to the battery got folded under the screw plate so I couldn't attach the lower screw. Had to take it out and refold the ribbon so it would stay tight against the body of the battery. After that it fit like a charm. And if you bought the tool kit online to install the battery, the Phillips head didn't seem to fit the inside screws, so you're better off getting a jewelers set of tools with magnified tips. Way easier.

Just finished successfully replacing mine! Thanks - I even had to position the grounding clip so your experience was extra useful!

Great video and glad you caught the little black ground clip! Was able to put in a new battery in an old iPhone 4S with your video.

Thank you! I really appreciate that you put this video up since i didn't get any instruction book with my battery replacement. Again, thanks

Thank you for making this video, it was incredible helpful, especially when that black thing popped off!

Success! Thanks for your video, helped a lot. First attempt was unsuccessful, phone wouldn't turn on and when I went to plus it in I just got the Apple logo flashing on/off every 15 sec or so. Opened it up a second time, and did it over with a bit more pressure on the connector and trying to make sure it was pushed in all the way, closed it back up, and works fine.

Thanks a lot for the info. Specially the bit on that little grounding piece. Very helpful. The way that grounding piece is installed I imagine most people will pop it. I just replaced the battery and the phone is back on and on charge. I will see how that works. Hopefully I will be able to drag the next upgrade out for some time.

These are the videos I like! When a mistake is made (that little connector) and shows what it is for. Mine totally fell out and then had no clue until I found this video. Thanks for the upload as it help me connect the 3g antenna connector back on.

Thanks to your video, I was able to successfully switch out the battery on my iPhone 4s :D The same thingee popped out too so this was a perfect walkthrough. Much gratitude for you :D

Excellent video! I had the clip pop off and thanks to your thorough video, I knew just how to put it back. Thanks and keep up the great work.

Great video, thanks! Seeing the little part fall out and be put back in was helpful too - helped me avoid that. I found it was easier to line up and reattach the metal battery plug first (two internal screws), then put the battery back in it's place. When you put the batter back in place first, it's a bit tricky to line up the metal plate because the ribbon cable pushes the plate around. Thanks again!

I just replaced my battery today and im so grateful that your grounding piece came out too. mine popped out when I took off the old battery so I just held onto it and labeled it as a 'Mystery Part'. until I saw that yours popped out too which was useful.

This worked perfectly for me. And it must have been fate that I clicked on your video, because my connector got out of alignment, too. Thankfully I wasn't too intimidated by it since I'd watched your video! My iPhone's working great. Thank you!

From a fellow DIY guy, good job! Replaced mine and Sandy's batteries with no issues! Glad I bought a tool kit with each battery cause the proprietary screwdriver for the back cover stripped (I'm always guilty of over-tightening), and I couldn't snug up the last screw without using the driver from the other kit.

Thank you for your help. I had replaced a battery in an iPhone 4 so I wanted to make sure I was confident while replacing a battery in an iPhone 4S, and this video helped me to do that!

Excellent video - shows that all things do not go as planned. I had the ground connector pop out as well and thank goodness there was information to aid in re-alignment for proper reassembly. Good on ya!

Thank you! Now I will get Started with my Blogs! I just broke my Iphone 4S Battery so I'm Actually Thrilled that you did this!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I followed your advice on this video step by step; I even went through the same issue with the black tab. But it worked out. Not only did I save $180. by not going to Apple but I also have a phone that has a longer battery life. Much appreciated.

Great video - bought the battery with nice tool set from Amazon - $23. Daughter's phone in perfect condition again......and she did all the work, using your video as a guide while I "supervised".....little black clip jumped out about a foot away from the iPhone....but we were ready for it! Thanks for the great tutorial

Thanks so much for leaving the error in, I did exactly the same thing and thanks to your lack of ego was able to see were it should sit. Again many thanks.

Great video, I just ordered a replacement as my phone just turns off even when at 50% life so I assume after 3 years the battery us dead. Your video made it very simple and I like the live walk through. Can't wait until my replacement comes.

Thanks for taking the time to put this video together. Loved the life hack of using an egg crate for keeping screws and parts organized during a project, absolutely brilliant!

When you said the screws are small I think it was an understatement! Thanks for the video, I would have royally "screwed" it up without your help!!

It worked! Thank you! While I was trying to put in one of those crazy small Phillips screws (the one that also secures the grounding clip), the screw popped out and fell onto the floor ... panic and 10 minutes later we found it! Appreciate your video! :)

Thank you very much for a really good informative video it was an excellent close up of the grounding clip I had had the same problem and you explained very carefully which way round it had to be inserted. Thank You and well done

Just installed a new battery in my iPhone 4s , this is a good video as it showed how to install that little clip that fell out and how it goes back in ! Thanks

Went without a hitch & phone works ! :-) Watched video all way through 1st, then ran it whilst doing the replacement. thank you ... been putting off doing for weeks!!

thanks! My SIM for some reason was not found after battery replacement. Had to take it out and put it back in, but instructions were clear. cheers.

Thank you so much for this video! I am the worst when it comes to my iPhone(s) and iPod(s). I have a little graveyard for all the ones that have died due to getting wet. Thanks to this upload, I was able to save my 4S and now I can replace the battery. It's an empowering feeling to know I can save a piece of technology that I rely on so much. Much love from Toronto!

Thanks! Made for an easy fix!!!! Glad you showed the clip falling off- happened to me and made figuring that out easy!!!!

Thanks for the video!!!! Just changes my battery and the same thing happen to me. Had the hardest time putting that piece back in but, I did it and it turned on and ever things ok. Them screws are so tiny could barely see them. Thanks again......

I just wanted to PERSONALLY thank you HighTechDad for this easy to follow how-to video. You saved me a good $30 with me replacing both my back glass & battery on my own! ^_^

Cheers from New Zealand mate, just installed new battery , thanks heaps for your video.Had a wee mishap with the little black clip but all sorted. Have subbed to your channel too.

Thanks. I had the little clip pop off too and I got worried that it broke off. Your video was simple and a life saver.

Nice one followed your instructions to a T cheers and it's a good job you mentioned that little piece a nearly through it away thinking it had come off old battery cheers once again

I just changed out my battery thanks to your video, I installed a '2680mah Gold Battery' and now my phone has double the battery life the stock battery had. YEAH! Thanks again!

Thanks, for the video! I'm gonna add this to my favourites, I'll probably need it in the future. I also would like to ask where I can find a battery exactly like that? And are they expensive? Do you have to buy online? Thanks A lot

Thank YOU!!!! Just saved myself £20 paying for an iphone battery replacement by watching this video that took me from start to finish even before the replecement battery arrived. It meaning the/ this video actually gave me the confidence to know I could easily change my own iphone battery and not pay a shop to conduct the same service at my expense for a less than 5 minute job for a total novice like me with no confidence as I sometimes have the Dumbest moments for no other reason than I'm me therefore prone to foolishness thats unheard of. Once again thanks for saving me from myself and those wolves.

Thanks, HighTechDad. I didn't know where from the small black clip popped out, while replacing the battery on my wife's phone. Your video helped so much.

Easy and fun to do. You just need the right tools and this video. Thanks for this upload.

Thanks man great help! You saved me time and money I have subbed to your channel!

Thanks H.T.D. I'm so glad that part pop out due to mine pop out as well great instructions and my phone is charging perfectly thanks again for your help could not done it without you

Thank you for posting this video. You saved me about $50! I was worried it would be really hard to change the battery, but it was super easy. I used to work in a jewelry store and one of my tasks was to change watch batteries. There are some watches that are more complicated than what I just did with my wife's iPhone.

Thanks for the upload! I lost one of the screws during the install. I used the one I had left to screw down the top hole with the ground under it. The phone works fine. Any idea if I'm gonna run into trouble later? The apple store probably has tons of those. I pick one up if i can and do it later.

Thanks for the very informative video also it helped very much when the little piece popped out , mine popped out and landed at such I assumed the the piece was meant to stay there until I watched whole video , again thank you for the video

Excellent! Just used this video to install a new battery in mine. Just look out for the clip! Mine popped out just like it did in the video.

I really respect the workers who put these phones and electronics together, it takes a very steady hand and tons of patience

thankyou for this tutorial highTechDad this helped alot now to see how good this battery works in my phone

Followed your advice and my new battery is successfully installed. Thank you!

Excellent video! I wtvhed it once, bought battery then watched again while I installed new battery. EASY AS! Thanks so much! Your video - highly recommended - person I got my "new" battery off, NOT recommended! "New" battery turned on at 46% - plugged in to charge it and so far it has dropped DOWN to 43%. May be watching your video again soon when I replace "new" battery with another "new" battery!!

Thank you for your fast answer. I have done the same process again and now also reboot my iphone(Hold lock and home buttons for 7-10sec). Now it works :)) You should write in the description for others, that it good to reboot iphone after they are done with work Thank you again and greetins from Slovenia

Thank you! My kit came today and your video was easy and very helpful. Everything works great!

Thx, helped me really on my 4s ( Other video's are just for the 4), three tips, make sure not to leave fingerprints on batterij connections (e.g. use gloves), second the size of the screws should be told in the beginning (the bigger one has to be up) and last but not least the little black thing comes from under the upper screw. be aware by unscrewing so you see it popping up. thx again I like your style.

You saved my phone! Thanks so much. Just dropped my phone in some hot top ramen .. (who does that?) Needed to find a fast way to take out the battery and dry off everything and this video was so easy to follow. You are so right about not drinking coffee. I was already two cups in and noticed my shaky hands which probably why it took me an hour to do.

I appreciate your showing the meticulous little struggles. The battery with glue on the back that you pry out - if you didn't know about you might stop at that point since there is resistance. The ground clip that popped out, that can unnerve you and swamp your repair. Thanks for your video!!!

Thank you very much for posting this!

@dennism220 - I don't have a link to the exact one that I used but take a look at this one from iFixIt.com - search for: "Metal Spudger" - it's about $3.

Thx a bunch. I had that little thing pop out and didn't know what to do with it. your video showed me.

I just did it following your video and my iPhone 4S works now!!!! Woo hoo!!!

Thank you for uploading. I just changed mine in about 5 mins!!!! It was super super easy. Thanks so much!

IMO the iPhone 4 is by far Apple's best and most functional design with the glass back that slides off, the phone itself is gorgeous with the stainless steel

Thanks so much this video was great and the tips were wonderful.

Nargr8 Just changed the battery on the 4s, the old battery lasted 9 yrs and still held a charge for 10 - 12 hrs unless I was surfing or leaving apps running in the background. The grounding clip will only go in one way unless it is some how forced into an odd position. The screws are beautiful things aren't they :)

Thanks very much. Couldn't have done it without this tutorial!

Nice one, removed all the dread, liked the egg tray thing too but would give me the opportunity to lose everything at the same time when I launched it !

Thanks for the video! It was very helpful.

i agree with fancy pants just below, glad u popped the clip (made it useful to be aware of it, and careful with it - also helped to work out why the screw wasnt quite going in) top guide, fixed my iphone, thanks

Thanks so much for your "How to do video" because I just successfully installed my new battery I purchased on eBay by myself and Apple iPhone 4S is working properly still!

I actually think I will be able to change the battery! Thanks, great video!

This was a fluke find. I'd already replaced my battery. Phone worked fine but then I noticed that tiny part and wondered where it had come from. Can't believe he did the same thing and worked out how it fitted. I took my phone apart again; fitted the part quickly and it was much simpler to put back together (especially having been told the screws were different sizes). Love KZfaq for the how to videos!

Awesome ,sure saved my butt and with the error it saved me i worried about that ground clip ,also I learned the hard way ,that there is a big difference between the I-phone 4 battery and the 4s battery ,of course I ordered the wrong one .Waiting for the correct battery Thanks!!!!!!!

Omg thank you so much !!! i followed everything you said & my phone is working now, thank you for doing this tutorial . It was very helpful

Hi, thanks for informative video. I just replaced my iphone 4S battery watching your video. Thanks ...thanks ..thanks !!!

finished installing mines. thanks for the video

Thank you so much! this is really helpful!!! do you have a video for replacing the home button for the iphone 4s?

Thanks for walking me through this dad!

Hey that egg carton idea is a very good one! thank you! :)

My black clip popped out, as expected, because I watched this video before taking the phone apart, I was ready. Great video and my Iphone 4s is still being used 8 years later as my only "smartphone"- amazed the original battery got me this far, I should be good another 8 years, haha, or until the IOS is no longer supported by the apps I use, which should be any year now. Great video, without it, I would would have had a much more difficult time.

Very helpful tutorial HTD, however you should mention in the video that not all batteries that you can purchase come charged right away, the one you showed obviously was, leading me to believe the battery was faulty or I did something wrong. Besides that, great video, thanks for the help.

Thanks for the video. Made the job very easy.

Thanks...could you please tell me the Name of the screw type you used? thanks again !!

That worked great for me :) Thanks ... Just a word of waning when u try to take the old battery off make sure its completely drained as if u clip or rip by accident when trying to pry it out the black tape around it it can burn out and yep pretty much explodes lol mine did just now and thought it would be cool ppl to know that but if u have a replacement battery to put in nothing to worry about as the old one u wont need...

Thanks for the video! Much appreciated, especially the tip on that lil black doovey. :)

Thank you. This was very helpful.

thanks for the upload. Really helped. you made it simple and easy!

This was a lot of help ! Thanks

my dust plug broke off in my iphone 4 headphone socket and i didn't realize now its really wedged in there and Ive tried everything to get it out can you do a video on that or give me some ideas! thanks!!!

Thanks for the tutorial .. its helped me!
