Repair Is Green: Two Simple iPhone Repairs You Can Do at Home
If
you bought an iPhone 4 when it came out on June 24, 2010, you've had it
for 21 months now. That's just over the US national average cell phone
turnover rate of 20.5 months. But maybe you're not ready to upgrade.
Maybe you realize that manufacturing is the biggest portion of a phone's
environmental impact. Maybe you don't want to spend the money on a new
phone. Maybe your phone does pretty much everything you need it to
do—it's just not quite working as well as it did two years ago. Here are
a couple of simple, inexpensive repairs you can perform at home to get
your iPhone back up to snuff. Battery Replacement The iPhone 4
lithium-ion polymer battery is supposed to last 400 full charge cycles
before it drops below 80% of full capacity. By the time you've had a
phone 21 months, your battery is likely ready to be replaced. Apple says
that the iPhone battery is not user-replaceable. It's true that there's
no snap-off battery compartment, Apple doesn't sell batteries, and when
the iPhone 4 came out it was difficult to find a screwdriver that could
remove the five-point rounded "Pentalobe" screws. But changing an
iPhone battery requires removing just three screws and one connector.
And you can buy both the battery and the screwdriver from us for far
less than the $79 Apple charges. We have both a guide and a video (both
below) to walk you through it. Our goal is to empower people to fix
their own stuff. So how do you do it? After removing the two Pentalobe
screws on the bottom of the phone, you slide up and lift off the back
panel. Then you remove one more screw and pry up the battery connector,
pull the battery away from the light adhesive, and put in your new
battery. Easy-peasy. We hear every day from people who successfully
change their iPhone batteries without having ever opened up any
electronics before.

naturally like your web site but you have to check the spelling on quite a few of your
posts. A number of them are rife with spelling problems and
I find it very troublesome to tell the truth nevertheless
I'll certainly come back again.
