i had a prob. wit my ipod..
its the thing u showed…..
the slot no 7..is missing.. can u tell me wat to do with it…
I took a pic of the inside of my phone, blew it up and printed it out. I
put the screws on the output as I removed them to be sure they went back in
the right place.
Wow, the insides of the iPhone 3GS make it seem ancient. Though, in 09/10,
this was new, only 5 years ago. Just wow.
The egg carton idea is genius!
Great video and well explained. Good job!
Poor video, he doesn’t actually show you how to do each step!
don’t need a suction cup. Just wedge it out!
this just dont help any it dont show how you have took it apart sorry but
what a pathetic vid
Fkn Iphone, takes me 10sec to replace my battery on my android phone..
Nice one, followed your instructions and when it was all back together and
switched on it worked first time! Three things you need which you didn’t
mention – eyes like a hawk, fingers as thin as reeds and the patience of a
saint! :)
sorry, this video is pointless. Just another howto video witch is not
actual howto.
Thankyou for vid, well done.
Great vid well worth watching thanx following on twitter now
wow. could those idiots at apple make it any more complicated to just
change a frkking battery?
Thanks for doing the video! Found battery on eBay and just did surgery on
my iPhone. The “patient” is in recovery and charging. Thanks again!!
I’ve followed your steps.. Put everything back in but i found out the
speaker isn’t working. Any idea where it’s localised?
@xadam123 Yes it is needed to safely pry the screen up as its the screen
that comes out first and there is nothing to grip it and its not the back
cover that comes out first like whats normal on other phones.
the battery on mine goes down in 1 hour and i have replaced it .it also
gets realy hot. do you know what may be causing this????
Hey Man After You Did This, Did Ur Battery Last Longer?
@xadam123 The suction cup really does help to get the glass off. You need
to grip it. However, you can go to your local hardware store and get a
suction cup.
I was able to replace the battery while watching the video. Anyone
complaining about the instruction shouldn’t be messing around with their
iPhone
agree 100%
They made it much easier on the iPhone 4.
It is tricky. The iPhone 4 is by far a lot easier to do.
I done everything you said and fitted in the battery but the iphone 3g
screen does not turn on. The phone however is on as the vibrate buttion
works. All i can see is a black screen i.e no part off the screen is
working. Could anyone help me and address the issue i seem to be having and
what steps i should take to correct it thanks
Great Video. Would be nice if you showed in video how you unhook the ribbon
cables and hook them back and the camera mount how you replace and put
back. The new batter looks like the battery from apple. How did you get the
same battery. Jason Cruz
wayyyyy too much work
@lu2look well, I think you are correct doing so since the operation is not
difficult but takes quite a bit of dexterity and patience…;-)
seems to me you’re the dumb piece of shit in this situation 🙂
@xadam123 You can use the green tool the company sent you to pry the edge
upwards as an other option
If I had done it real-time, the video would have been quite a bit longer.
I’m not an iPhone repair guy, just like geeking out on the tech.
(cont) If it doesn’t show a glow at all, then I’m thinking that you either
didn’t fully snap in a cable or connect something, or that a cable got
damaged in the process. They are very small and quite delicate. You could
have bent something which broke a cable. I would open it up once again and
carefully inspect all of the connections, cables and connectors for any
damage.
The seal shouldn’t come off as I believe it is part of the screen.
Where do i get a suction cup ?
this looks damn hard dammmit my battery runs out in like an hour dammmmit
I tried it and it broke my phone you dumb piece of shit
I changed battery on 3GS no problem, Thanks! But now earpiece speaker will
not work for phone calls, sound is only from speaker on phone and iPod.
Please help, did I forget to plug something in correctly? Great video by
the way!
After 5:10 I was like screw it
Hi. I posted a video to answer some detailed questions about your video.
Was that a problem? Looks like it’s been deleted.
I cant get one of the screws out! The screw just above the camera (step 12
on the guide) just wont budge for me and I think its slightly spoiled. The
gaps too small to get any pliers or anything in Any Ideas?
The egg carton idea is freaking genius!!!
Haha, thanks!
