Hi, Thank you so much for the video. I love my phone but no store would replace the battery and i could not buy a new. so after watching your video i bought a new battery online and just completed the install of a new battery with 100% success!!!!!!
I love the phone too and my battery is dying so i'm glad to here I can fix it,
Did you run into any of the screws that were hard to get out??
Please can you replace my battery for me ,,, I love these phones , they are dependable.. please help me
@@theriawilliams6006 got to have a good small screwdriver, you can get one in a glasses repair kit @ many stores cheep!
where did you buy your battery at?
I changed my battery today! So excited I was able to attempt this with confidence. Everything still works as it did before. I used tools to disconnect the hooked parts, not my hands. SUCCESS!! Thanks!
Mrs. Toya D. I’m glad to hear that. Good job 👏🏼
Did you buy your battery on Amazon? I need to do my ProMax
@@MrRL-yu9ir No I got mine off eBay. It's was like $9
where did u buy your battery at?
Thanks for this video. Repair shops wanted to charge me $30 to install my battery and I'm just too cheap for that especially after paying $65 to have the screen replaced 6 months ago. I'm so glad I saw your video. I bought a cell repair kit for $5 from harbor freight formerly Sears outlet, battery for $5 off eBay and spent 30 mins to an hour taking my phone apart to remove the old battery that was causing my phone to power off below 50% when I'd answer it. THANKS TO YOU my phone will last a little longer and I don't have to go buy a new one!
I'm glad this video help you and i hope you phone last long time, great job
Wow, this is an excellent video. You take your time and don't skip any steps and it's easy to see what you are doing. I can't rate this high enough!
Thank you. I ordered a replacement battery for my phone and you video helped me do it! Thank you thank you. Z983 owner who loves her phone.
The filming of any video is a whole lot of work, thank you so much for this tutorial and the hard work put into it. Thanks so much for your hard work. Very informative.
Jose G. Silva my pleasure , thank you.
@@JoseMoralestech Hola Jose,
Ya resolvi lo de la bateria. El problema ahora es que quiza hize algo mal cuando arme de nuevo que ahora el microfono no funciona. Puedo oir a las personas pero ellos no me oyen. Cualquier ayuda te lo agradezco infinitamente de antemano!
@@JoseMoralestech
Hi, the replacement screen you have looks like it comes with the charger board already installed, I went to
the link you provided to buy it, but their Amazon picture doesn't show the C battery charger board included and no mention in the specs that it's included.
My screen cracked and charger is so loose now I'm having a hard time charging it,so I need both Screen and charger board.
Are you sure that's the correct link ?
PS: thanks for the great video, I replaced the battery last Summer with help from your video,but now that I dropped it ,I need screen and battery charger included like the new screen you have.
Thanks .
Gracias Jose, muy agradecido por este video!... Tengo my Z981 el cual me gusta mucho, tengo que cambiarle la bateria y la pantalla de vidrio tambien. Boy a intentarlo gracias a ti!.... sera el primero que hago!!!
I just wanted to thank you for this great video. That’s what i call a person, a genius. Keep up the good work. Thanks again
Thank you! I did this for replacing my battery. video was so helpful. only lost one screw, and my phone works. cant believe it. THANK YOU!
Thank you for watching
Soooooo I brought the battery thinking it would be an easy fix, but lawd...... This is like taking a car apart and trying to remember how to put it back together smh..... This is crazy complicated, but like someone else said... No one would fix it, so that's how I ended up here. Didn't know I had to get a whole tool kit just to do what should be a simple process. After just watching the process, i seriously just want to buy a new phone instead of going through all this, but I'm going to try it. Wish me luck!! Thanks for the video!!
I checked several videos because there were certain parts that didn't show certain processes; until I got to this one, then I proceeded to finish what I started. Thanks.
Mannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn thank you so much for this video!!!!! I have another version of the ZTE and didn't know how to get the battery out!!! So thank you again because I was realllllllllllly frustrated for awhile!!!!
I rebuilt carburetors for years so cell phone seems alot easier. I aways used a white sheet or pillowcase so i could see the parts and screws, be very careful with magnets or magnetized tools around any chips they can erase the software from them. We used them to erase eprem chips to replace boot up software. I made a workbench that has a non sid surface, so nothing slides off and breaks.thank you for your video i am learning about cell phone repair and any knowledge on different models is a big help. Gave you a like so i hope that helps. Keep up the good videos.
After watching the video the first time I WAS skeptical thinking that I would not be able to do it but I stuck with it all the way through, and was able to rfix my phone. thank you it works perfectly
Great job
tnks to you tutorials i replace the battery and the charging port in my ZTE Z981, really really easy to do this job i spend one hour replacing bot items no to bad in my first time fixing a phone tanks so much for you help
Great video, easy to follow. I replaced batteries in both my phone & my wife's, now they're working like new!
i believe i broke my screen when taking mine apart to replace my battery, i just ordered a new lcd and frame assembly, this vid looks as it will assist me and any other person greatly, in completing the task, Thank you so much, Hooah1
Thanks for your help! It was like doing brain surgery, but I got a new battery in and reassembled it correctly.
where did u buy your battery from?
Thank you Jose, there is many people that learn from your very well done videos!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH !!! I could change my charger port with this video.
very clear and informative. GREAT JOB !!!
Hi and no I'm not related to Ronald.
I love this phone and never want to get red of it. Thank you for the vid. It was my first time fixing a phone I was so intimidated but you made me feel like a repair expert. Thanks. Now how to fix the charging port.
Super helpful! Thank you! Just saved me a couple hundred bucks by replacing a battery instead of a phone!!
Thank you. Was able to open my ZTE Max and replace battery by your video.
Aye thanks for the video. Had a ZTE since release, charging port broke & battery didn't last long at all. Was stressing because I don't have enough money to buy a new phone, I don't feel like I even needed a new one cuz the ZTE works perfectly. Was able to fix both issues very easily.
Using a blow dryer for 10 seconds or less works well to take the battery out.
Hello, great demonstration. I was able to change the battery of the ZTE without difficulties. Thanks again.
Thank you, you make this process look easy. My screen is broken, and I will save for a phone, but will try this first, so if I mess it up it won't be too much time to buy a new phone. I noticed that this phone is on the heavy side, it is from Metro PCS. It is large, and I like the features on it. The only thing I don't like is the installation/reinstallation of the motherboard there. Knowing my luck I'd break that. But, practice makes perfect. Thank you Jose for your videos.
Jose, thank you so very much for your video. I had to replace a battery and charge port on this phone. Your video was wonderful with the step by step procedure. I had no problems at all..
where did u get your battery at?
I'm glad this phone seems to be easy to fix and repair.
I have one but it got substantial water damage and screen breakage.
I've had 3 or 4 of these phones because unfortunately I lost one got 2 stolen from me.
And I damaged the last one.
I'm disabled and my hand eye coordination isn't the best.
But I am thinking of buying one of these.
When I got my first ZTE ZMAX PRO in September of 2016 it had just been released in July of 2016.
So it was only a couple of months old at the most.
And I think some of the earlier ZTE ZMAX PRO'S had stronger gorilla glass,
Because when I bought the first one I dropped it pretty hard!
And often and the screen didn't even scratch!
Much less break!
But every one after that the minute I dropped it at all on the screen,
The screen would crack it didn't matter how lightly or hard I dropped it.
But I loved it so much that when I couldn't find it at MetroPCS.
I tried boost.
I should have went to corporate but I didn't think about it.
And I couldn't afford the $170.00 at the time. So I thought I could go to boost as a new customer and get the ZTE ZMAX PRO for less.
Unfortunately they never carried the phone.
So I switched back to MetroPCS and bought another one.
But they don't carry ZTE PHONES ANYMORE!
Something to do with China pulling some shady crap!
So I am going to buy a used one from Amazon or eBay.
I did some research and found out that the batteries in phone's particularly this one usually only lasts 2 years.
So since the phone is 4 years old I'll probably need to purchase a battery and a kit to open the phone
But unfortunately I am not limber enough to do tiny repairs I might break something or lose a screw.
And their used to be a ton of phone repair places in my area.
But I don't see as many anymore.
And I don't know how much they will charge me just to change the battery and or the glass?
I only had to replace my battery, but your video was really helpful: I'm glad to know that I have a reference if I every want to change anything else.
Thanks for your video, now 2 ZTE Z981 are alive. BRgds
I just wanted to add my double thanks for this video. First time I needed this was to replace the lens on the camera. This time, my mic had stopped working in speech to text as well as when using the phone. However, when I did sound recorder or made videos I had sound. Solution was to change out the charging port board, which had the mic onboard. problem solved! Thank you thank you!! I can't afford a new phone just yet, LOL Peace, John
Thank you John Your success makes me happy ✌️
thank you. Job well done. It would have been nice to tell people to look at the video first before starting to repair but i managed. Thanks
Great video. Had to replace my battery. Very easy to follow.
Awesome step by step I had no problems thank you. 👍🏽
Thank you for helping with the Video. Didn't need the info for the screen replacement just the battery part. Well thank You Again.
Watched your video and was able to replace my battery easily...no frustration, no headaches. Thank you for making a video to where I was able to see everything you were doing and your explanation of each step was clear and concise. Well done, sir!
Thank you, good job
hey thanks for this video even after 3 years it was easy to understand, informational, and shows the process about as by the second as you can get while taking the content from both verbal and visual breif as well. Great Job, Bro
!!!!!!!i subcribed to your channel and hit the bell to get a notice when you ndo your next video.
Thank you! You just save me some money and help me to know that I could replace my phone screen myself.
Richard A. Cross 😁👏🏼👏🏼
Great video !! thank you for showing us this .. One thing I noticed is you didn't install the antenna back .. No big deal not the point of the video but if I didn't care I wouldn't have posted this … Thanks again I actually used this today !!
dkeller1 thanks for watching and for paying attention that means a lot to me 🙏🏻
Best video ever brother ... Same thing happened to my phone ! You make me fixed it
thanks dont forget to subscribe .
Just replaced my digitizer and screen. Great video. Thanks
Could you please mention the tools names and prices that you are using.
That was really helpful.
Thanks a lot
Susan
This video really help me fix my phone I sure do appreciate brother 😉
this was a fantastic and informative video, thank you so much. I really learned from you.
your welcome and thank you for watching .
Jeff Torres
Thanks for the video. Very helpful.
This is WAY too involved a process for me (I don't have the tools and I'm scared of going that deep in the phone), but I LOVE this tutorial and the way you've done it. THANK YOU for narrating, and just.. all the ways you've made this video. There are SO many "tutorials" that are silent, just sped up versions of someone wordlessly disassembling stuff, or shot from a mile away, and they're in NO way helpful (especially if you don't see super duper well). So I'm just super grateful for the narration, the free-flow of thoughts where you get all specific about the little intricacies, etc. THAT is a tutorial, and one that actually helps. Thank you thank you!
Now I just wish this was the type of phone from the old days where you could just pop off the back and yoink out the battery. OOF. *lol* Have a great night, and thanks again!
Thank you
Thanks for posting this! I was able to successfully replace my battery, but when I started it back up, the screen stopped responding to any touch commands. The on/off and volume buttons are the only thing that work now. I tried swapping the old batt. back and same results. I wonder if I damaged the screen in the process? Which means I may need a new screen?? :(
This just happened to mine after I replaced the battery (touch screen not working) did you find out what happened & how to fix it? Thanks
Thank you so much! This helped me with my ZTE Blade X Max since theyre so similar!
Where did you order the screen from?
Jose, my ZTE Z981 pro max volume down button is not working so I can't turn down volume with it and can't screenshot. The button feels normal when is pressed. It doesn't stick. What could be the problem and how do I fix it?
The problem happened seemed like after I swap out the loud speaker from my second ZTE to test out why there's NO AUDIO when speaker phone is on during a call and music is played. Audio can be heard in the earphone jack and if an external speaker is Bluetooth in, so the earphone speaker is ok. Thanks in advance for your help.
PS. This video has been really helpful to understand the functions and disassemble/assemble of this phone. Thank you!
Excellent video Jose. Thanks a lot.
I agree. Jose you are a very intelligent young man. Believe me not many people can do what you do. God gave you a brain that catches on to anything. (smile) What a great job. I enjoyed this video sooo much!!!
AWESOME Vid...I was able to change out the battery. Thanks so much!!!!!
John Wells thanks don’t forget to subscribe ✌️
Thank you!!!
Just fixed my phone..

PS: thanks for the great video, I replaced the battery last Summer with help from your video,but now that I dropped it ,I need screen and battery charger included like the new screen you have.
Thanks .
Cant believe how this ARM and SOC platforms combined now reduce the PCB of all the smartphones. In the past a PCB wasnt enough to fit underneath the entire dimension of a phone, even first smart ones and now? A small slice on the top and bottom paired with wire, probably just mic, pcb wasnt even necessary there. Simply amazing. And see these low-priced products using this advanced technology? Must be real cheap to produce if they can sell it so cheap. Makes me wonder how much margin is apple dropping onto their products then.
Una duda ¿Si se estrelló el cristal se puede cambiar solo el cristal o se tiene que cambiar con todo el display?
Thanks man. This video really helped me out.
Is there and way you could make a video on how to remove the entire charging port panel? That would be great!
It unclips just apply little pressure with a tool small flat head DNT force it or u will break something
After you replace your battery on the zte zmax pro should you have any problems with the phone sensor . Also you finger print logging.
no
Well Done!! I just ordered my new battery from Amazon for $15, but I have a question... The new battery is 3600 instead of the 3400 currently in there, is it possible to upgrade even more? And is it possible to upgrade RAM or storage? Thanks so much!!
Fyi... replaced my battery & charging now!! I'm so mad they tell you there's no way to replace it and you must buy a new phone!! Thank you so much, you are enabling people to be smarter, more capable and stop taking NO for an answer!! This is what UA-cam is about!!
Can you please tell me wish screen kit to order. I want to make sure I am ordering the right one. I made sure every thing was reconnected twice it will light up and but the touch screen is not working
This is a common problem and this device make sure to test screen before install, most likely 1 of 3 screens have touch problems
Great video, thank you! I have a QUESTION: I followed your directions exactly and replaced the battery. Everything went smoothly, got new battery installed and works great.
But one day later, the VIBRATION no longer works on the phone. It's not just turned off or anything. I downloaded an app from google play to test vibration, and it won't do anything.
Any idea as to what might have happened, and/or how to fix?
Thanks in advance for any help!
mark I would first just check if there is any miss contact , worst case replace it .
Hi Jose, thanks for the reply. After rebooting the phone a few times, the vibration is working fine again. But the phone has developed another strange issue since yesterday, the circular 'home' led at the bottom is no longer working. It doesn't light up when charging or notifications. The home button still works fine, and I can live without it lighting up but it is annoying not to have it. @@JoseMoralestech
Hey Jose! Love the way you explain here. I have this exact phone, but recently got a new phone. The battery of my zte zmax pro is bad because it dies pretty quick, and can only use it while plugged, and I think I just need to get a new battery. I still want to use the zte to watch videos. Can you recommend where to get a new battery? Amazon, ebay, etc? If you can provide a link to it even better, thanks.
I will check for you
@@JoseMoralestech I have the same problem. Could you help me out as well? Thanks.
Hey man, dunno if you still read comments still. I followed this tutorial to fix my charging port, and afterwards I drop calls like crazy now. Ina previous comment you mentioned it could be the charging port, so I ordered a new one and it still happened, and I tried again and still happening with 3 new ones. Do you have any more suggestions possibly as to what it might be? Thanks!
Hey! So after I changed out my charging port & battery, I keep dropping cell service when its been perfectly fine for 2 years in this house. Would you know what it might be? I even bought and replaced the wire that you call the "antenna" and its still happening. Is it my sim card? Thanks!
justice 5150 could be a bad charging port
@@JoseMoralestech ah fuck, I got one straight from Amazon, gonna try and return it. Thanks for the vid, its a life saver.
Excelente video !!!
Hi I need to replace my battery only, where can I get the tools?
Hi Mr Morales, don't forget to relocate the cable antena. Good job!
Luis Alberto Valladares thanks
Great video! How hard it to replace the earphones port? Thanks!
Hector Monfil for that you must know how to do soldering .
What about just changing the battery can it be replaced?
thank you for walking through fixing my phone screen! you forgot to screw down the motherboard tho XD
Very helpful! Thank you!
Do you have a video on how to solder the USB port? Mine won't hold a charge. Is that the problem or just the battery? I've tried every cord and plug, and cleaning the port. Holding the power button seemed like a temporary fix but still charges slow. Please help~
Did you ever fix it?
@@po3539 nope sorry for the late reply, just went Google pixel and never looked back
Mr. Morales, you are very good doing it. I am very nervous, I can not charge mine by myself. if you can change mine or tell me where I can send it. Thanks
Is it the heat gun really necessary? I don't have one, but could you use a hair dryer or not?
The hairdryer is just fine👍🏼
Hi,great video,where can I get the replacement part?
hello thank you for the video. I have replaced my screen and can not get the key pad to work.what am i doing wrong.
Lynn Daniel if evething is plug in all the way this will be doe to a defective part
Muchas gracias por el vídeo.
Well that's what I'm experiencing, also when you on call and you put the phone at your ear the screen is not turning off. Another thing when I'm listening my vn it's not playing through my main speakers it's playing in the headset. Any suggestions to solve those problems I'm having
you should check if when you open it something got broken check really careful
Thank You so much for making this video!!!!
Sick 'N Twisted you’re welcome thanks for watching.
My guy just cracked his screen to his phone. I have the same phone. I am gonna practice on my phone first before I work on his. I'll let you know the outcome once it happens.
Sick 'N Twisted good luck 👍🏼
Can u tell me the link to order the exact screen you have?
Let me ask you my phone has the problem of not holding a charge I can put it on the charger it will charge to 100% But as soon as I unplug it within three minutes the phone goes dead is there anything that I can do without taking the phone apart to fix this problem or do I have to replace the battery any help would be greatly appreciated thank you
izzynutz2000 same issue for me on my zte zmax phone. I took it apart and had a couple corroded screws so it must've gotten water damage, plus the white water strip on battery was pink. Now I can't get it to charge even after drying it out and cleaning with alcohol. Big bummer
Can you use a blow-dryer instead of a heat gun I don't have one
Manuel Pascual yes
Is it worth getting the lcd and digitizer as an assembly (is the replacement lcd quality as good as original) or is it better to just get the digitizer and separate the two?
John Pinion is better The complete assembly , Quality I would say is the same cause they are using the original LCDs
Hi can just the front glass be changed wt out buying the lcd
Yes but the touch is on the glass on this model you will not save lot of money , also to install you’ll need complex machinery
Hi was wondering does anyone know where there is a video showing only the Glass parted being repaired - seems like nobody has done it on video yet, thanks
Did you find the video. Im have the same problem.
Did I miss it??? How do you change the charge port???
You started in the wrong place. If you remove the Sim tray first you can get right up under it with just the plastic tool. I have had the metal tool actually destroy cables
I want to know if u have the video how to solder the new charging port can u send the video to me thank you
Awesome video Thanks
Where do u get screen glass?
I love this phone I wish I knew I could fix it the part inside the phone is broken really loose looks broken and I can't charge it I still have it hoping someday I could fix that part of the phone. And I can't find the part to fix it . I use to use it for Netflix because of the screen. Ware can I find just that part that you pointed to under the flap ware it charges.
Hey... Great video. my ZTE is stuck on the main screen like white metropcs. I went to get it fixed but they claim they don't make this phone anymore it's been banned or something. But my problem is all of my pixs, videos were on there. What do you think is a good way for me to get my items off of it. Can the screen be unstuck and why is it stuck. They claim it needs software update but i never got it. i had to buy a new phone which was 180 i sure hated to pay that.. I really loved this ZTE phone .. You are so talented by the way. Also where can I get that straight edge you used to open. I see your link but I don't need ALL of that stuff. I just need a few pieces of it to fix my sunglasses and to open this phone. Please let me know what to get to open it. Thanks AWESOME info.
@ask vonne, you didn't have a memory card in your phone?
How can I send you my phone I have one that's brand-new to remove the plug and replace it to the phone that I have that works
Great Video
muchas gracias!!!!
Do I have to use the same zte battery?
I used this one and it works perfectly .

I'm dead on the counting hahaha, 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9,8 10, but ty for the video I'm doing this tomorrow ty.
Fantastic!
Glad you like it!
@@JoseMoralestech Opened my phone but I cracked the case. Bummer. Then I did exactly what you said NOT to do - I slid the Spudger under the LCD screen. Still, I managed to unplug everything, waited 30 minutes, then plugged it all back in. Put everything together and.....phone still did not work. Wound up having to reset/clear the data and system and then reload it back in. THEN it came on and worked. Still - I would not have had the slight's idea how to open the phone up. I feel I gained quite a bit. First - I now have a Spudger to open the phone with. Second - I know a lot more about the phone and how it works, and third - I learned how to bring up the command line screen. And I now have my phone restored. :-)
Could you Please do a video on just replacing the battery only for this phone. Thanks
