*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!

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

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!

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!

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!

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

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.

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.

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

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!

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!

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

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.

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!!!

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

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

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.

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

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 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.

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

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!

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!

The ifixit battery for the 4S is reliable? What about the capacity for everyday use?

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

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

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.

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

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 tutorial .. its helped me!

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.

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!

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.

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

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

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.

Thanks for walking me through this dad!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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! ^_^

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!!

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!

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.

Extremely helpful video. I followed the instructions and completed the job in less than five minutes. Thank you!

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!

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.

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.

This was a lot of help ! Thanks

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.

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.

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

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

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! :)

glad i looked at this video before attempting myself. thanks for the help

Thank you very much for posting this!

Do you know what the name is of that little black clip thing that you popped out?

Thank you this really helped,( thank god for you tube). Cheers

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

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!!

finished installing mines. thanks for the video

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

Thanks for the video. Made the job very easy.

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.

Where do you get the little Phillips screwdriver

hey i lost that little piece that is shown at 9:35. looks like my iphone wont turn on without that little piece.. can you tell me what its call or where i can buy it? cant find it on ebay

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

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 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!

awesome video , literally made me complete a complicated task done in 2 min.!

Thank you for this very detailed and visual video :).

Hi,I changed the battery all went well.But when I tried to turn on nothing. So I thought maybe it needed to be charged. I had it charging for a day. Nothing so I plugged it into PC the iTunes icon on phone came on great I have something. All that I could do on iTunes was restore so I started to do that. But I had lost power! so in the middle of the restore I lost power. So I have been trying to reboot, restore, unlock, everything. I have used Ireb7, tinyumbrella. can you help me please

Awesome. worked very well. I changed the battery for my 4s after watching 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.

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

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

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!!!! 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......

Thank you for this, Great Video

Thanks for the instruction. Operation successful!

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

Thank you. This was very helpful.

Omgosh! This was so easy thanks to you! Amazing! Thank you so muchhhhhh

Good video. I changed my battery and i use this video. It was very helpful. Thx

Thanks for the video! It was very helpful.

Is the new battery higher capacity

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 very much this was helpful

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.

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

i have a iphone 4s and i can' t see the side hole on the right side where i can remove the micro sim... it is completely sealed up.. how can i fix my sim in it please..??????

Thanks. Your tutorial helped me.

thank you for creating this video

Thanks very much. This worked a treat.
