Thank you for the excellent video. As an owner of vintage gold, gold-filled and gold plated watches, and fountain pens, watching you use the metal tool on the screen to case-edge interface made me concerned about damaging the very thin gold plating used along the top edge of the rare plated case. I would try to use a plastic tool, if possible, to minimize removal of the 10 to 20 micron gold plating on the vulnerable edge-damage which can be obvious when light hits the device from certain angles.
I’ll keep that in mind for future repairs. Thank you
@@repaironwheels You are very clever--I enjoyed and appreciated your work and your video :-)
Hey brother. I don’t need my battery replaced but it’s sad to think that it’s so hard to do. I remember my Galaxy S3 that could literally have its back removed and battery replaced in 30 seconds. I wish iPhone came out with a phone that wasn’t hard to get into. I currently have a 12 pro max (5 months owned) and the battery health is still 100%. I know it will degrade in the next year.
It’s one of the trade offs to having an ip68 water resistant device :(
@@repaironwheels how much does the battery and adhesive cost? I got a iPhone 12 Pro Max and it needs the battery replaced. I also have an iPad Pro 12.9inch Fourth generation. that’s stuck on the Apple logo. Pretty sure it is the battery or the interface any tips for someone trying to save some money thank you🫶🏿🤝🏿🤞🏿
@OGHEADSHOTCODM decent 12 pro max battery usually costs around $30, as for the iPad, I generally don’t see stuck on apple logo being a battery. At least for me it’s pretty easy to rule out as I have a dc power supply. So I can hook up directly to the battery terminals to inject voltage compared to having to go all the way through a battery replacement ( that model is a pain in the ass to swap the battery)

Great video mate! Was easy to follow you.
But I’m probably still going to send my phone into a repair shop, I’m scared of damaging the screen 😅
I don’t blame you
Best to use a suction cup before you put your pry tool in, as you put the pry tool in the wrong place then your screen is gone , hot plate is also good if you do this regularly
I’ve tried a suction cup with little success, I assume because of how stiff the perimeter gasket is. Hot plate I completely agree with. the average person probably doesn’t have a hot plate which is why I normally stick to basic tools
as for the pry tool, there is some danger of sticking in the wrong place, although in my experience as long its only inserted no more than 2-3mm you shouldn't have issues. the main issue in my experience comes from not using enough heat along the perimeter and/or moving your opening tool to fast which causes the glass or display to become damaged
@@repaironwheels try one like Jerry’s one he uses in this video , the little ones that come with the screen sometimes are rubbish and you got no chance of doing it with them but the other ones are good , I have tried them myself and they work great , you only need it start off and after you hit the tool in then you don’t need it really , the hot plate I always use as with hot air gun, it’s hard to control the temperature and it will depend on the distance you are using from the screen to the hot air nozzle , if you get that wrong then the screen is gone , hot plates are really cheap and some are similar price to the hot air gun and actually cheaper than the brand you got
Jerry from jerryrigeverything uses an isesamo with his branding on it. You’re also correct about the hot plate, It’s much easier to control temperature with a hot plate as opposed to a hot air gun. For someone starting out it’s not a bad investment
@@repaironwheels I was talking about the suction cup jerry used not the pry tool , that provides good suction and will provide you with a good gap to put your tool in
Thank you for the detailed videos, they have been very helpful. When I removed the screen I was extra careful, maybe too careful and the screen came off in two pieces. One piece is the screen with the connector and the other is the bracket with the metal connectors and the cameras at the top. The screen will not turn on now after I reconnected everything. I dont see anything damaged on the screen. I was wondering if you know of a service that can repair the screen? I am planning on buying the less expensive LCD screen for about $200 to hold me over until I can find somewhere that might be able to repair the screen. Thank you for your help!
From the sounds of it the oled is damaged
MobileSentrix has an lcd for about 140. Check them out. They have been my vendor of choice for about 3 years now
@@repaironwheels Thank you for your help. I replaced the screen and the phone turns on now, but it gets really hot and restarts every few minutes. I cant talk on the phone or watch a video for more than a minute or two. From what I have been reading I guess I damaged another piece of hardware during the repair. I cant find any videos on how to troubleshoot this. Any ideas? Thanks for your advice.
I think I am just going to take it into apple and pay the $600 to have them swap it out with a new one. I cant seem to find anything about how to troubleshoot what is causing it to restart, assuming it is something to do with the motherboard. Perhaps it got too hot on the heating pad at 120 degrees for 10 mins when I removed the screen. Thank you for your help.
Rebooting every few minutes sounds like a panic report issues, it’s possible that either the charging port or power flex is bad.
It’s also possible something else is damaged but without seeing your phone in person it’s difficult to diagnose. If you want to send it to me I’d be happy to look at it

After replacement does battery health goes back to 100 percent in 12 pro max !
Great video watching from
India
Starting with the xr/xs series apple began pairing the board on the battery with the main logic board so you get the ‘can’t confirm genuine apple part’ or ‘unknow part’ message and with it the ability to easily check the % in settings
You can still check your battery % through a program called coconut battery
Im inclined to believe there’s some way to bring back the % functionality but I’m not familiar with the exact method on the 12 series
Sir I just wanna ask is that normal if
the battery of my phone after change it is just only 91% and never come to 100% when I charge it ?? Thank you
Where did you get your battery from
great video but was just wondering should the screen be re sealed as you had to cut or slice the edges to remove it??
I didn’t bother because I know that the vast majority of people won’t bother with that. Even if I did there’s no guarantee the device will be water resistant. The 12 series and newer are a bitch to remove the old gasket. I’d be surprised if devices leaving Apple stores were actually ip68
Can you do a video on how to replace iPhone12 pro max Module with UW Nano Antenna Flex Cable That is located on the motherboard
From my understanding it’s soldered to the board, I have a spare board from an iCloud locked device. I’ll give it a try and if it works out I’ll upload the video
At what time did you remove and replace the screen gasket or did you not actually show that even though you said you would?
I did. But apparently off camera
Original replacement battery ? Whence? I m from Greece
Try apples self service website
My battery cable at the connector is torn off. What is the fix? Thanks
Replacing the entire battery
i have a question i have been eager to ask about, when i get my battery replaced on my 12 pro max, does the water proofing/water resistance go away?
Unfortunately yes
the water resistance goes away from normal wear at tear after a few months of use anyway, the adhesive/seal degrades especially during summer
@@KimoKimochii I recently released a video where I tested my own iPhone 12 Pro (1 year old) underwater for 30 min, check it out
I’m general though my suggestion is pretend like your phone isn’t water resistant

Hi bro. I managed to change my battery after watching your tutorial. But now my screen got many lines appear at right side from up to down.. can i know why? Pls help 🙏 😢
The oled was damaged
@@repaironwheels izit because of the battery installation process?
Unfortunately, It’s happened to me before on more than one occasion
@@repaironwheels thx for the reply bro. Appreciate!
*wow gloves!! Make sure you don’t die during this acidic toxic process!*
Had more to do with not leaving fingerprints than safety. I frequently don’t use gloves. Not sure if your comment was meant to be sarcastic or not
if you buy the battery and then go to the repair shop and tell them that you brought your own battery, would they charge less ? or can you even do that
If you came to me I would subtract the cost of the battery and just charge labor. You would probably spend the same by the end of the
Correct me if I’m wrong but unless Apple changes the battery for you then you will receive a warning that the iPhone is not able to tell if this is a genuine battery is there any way around it?
You can transfer the board on the battery to a new battery
Which requires a special tool (spot welder)
REWA has a video about it
What’s your phone think about new battery … get some issues or something your phone understand that you replace your battery?
Other than an ‘unknown’ part message and loss of the health % in battery settings it works fine
Good video, thx but what happened to the gasket?
in some videos i do and some i dont. im going to make a video about it sooner or later. generally my approach is if the majority of the original gasket remained you are better off keeping it because all of the aftermarket gaskets are complete garbage. if you want to go the extra mile and order a gasket from apples self service that's the only time its worth removing the old gasket. also keep in mind in all of those scenarios your phone is still not water resistant
@@repaironwheels thank you for the response and explanation makes sense to me.
iPhone 13 pro max battery replacement video need please ❤
I’ll make one soon
thanks for the detailed explanation!!! but, I made a mistake.
I connected the screen after connecting the battery, and now the screen won't work anymore; the phone is on, I can feel the vibration, sound and the sensors are working;
is there a way I can fix this? maybe unplug the battery, connect the screen and then reconnect the battery, will it work?
thanks for the help
Have you tried reseating the battery and screen flex
@@repaironwheels only the screen cable, nothing;
do you think its safe to unplug the battery while the phone is still on?
As a general rule always make sure the battery is disconnected before connecting or disconnecting anything from the board
I disconnect the battery all the time when the device is still powered on
I noticed there was no glue added on the screen. Is it ok to put the screen back without adding glue ?
After the device is opened it’s safe to say it’s no longer water resistant. Moving forward the only reason you would want to reinstall a screen gasket is to help keep dust out or to keep the screen from tapping against the frame. If there is enough of the original gasket remaining, I prefer to use that than aftermarket gaskets. If the gasket is mostly missing or falling apart that’s when I would replace it
I’m being 100% sincere and I’m in no way trying to insult you or disrespect you with this question. But I am curious if you have ever been diagnosed as having a type of ADD called Over-focused ADD? I have this type of ADD and I immediately recognized that you have some difficulty speaking while performing a task that requires you focus more intently. Whether you have consciously learned to refocus yourself or it’s something that you aren’t aware of, either way it’s impressive how you are able to refocus your mind and continue explaining the various steps. Oh btw, great video. ✌️
Hey! May I ask what you do to support your process with this ADD . @bigpapimark1
I was diagnosed around 9 or 10 years old. I stopped taking adderall when I was 19. Didn’t like the way it made me feel
Where do you purchase the batteries?
Mobilesentrix, but they require a resale certificate which stops most DIYers
I might have a few used batteries with low cycles you are welcome to, just pay shipping
How much editing do you do on screen removal? Also when you put the screws back in how do you get them to stay on the tip of the driver? I would get them going to hole the magnetic screwdriver would change alignment. Any suggestions there?
Editing as in video editing?
Having a magnetic driver or bit is extremely helpful. I Fixit is great. Also Tuul. Also Wiha
So No Battery message at all? Strange!
I reinstalled the original battery, hence no battery message, as I needed to remove and re install the battery I decided to film the step by step even though the actual repair i was preforming wasn’t a battery replacement. If that makes sense
@@repaironwheels ok if you did that.. still you will be facing an issue with the battery or the battery message.. to prove this just swap the camera module of the same iphone models and then you will notice the issue what I am talking about I mean you end up messing of stuff if you still use the original items or swap the same items of the same iphone model!!!
Is this still watter resistant ? After the replacement ?
I doubt it, even if you replace with an oem gasket. If someone has a 12 or newer I’d be happy to try
Great video!!!
Thank you
What about water proofing?
There’s no way to make a phone water resistant post repair. Best you can do is add a seal to meet most of the dust out and to keep the screen from tapping against the frame making an annoying clicking sound/feel every time you tap/swipe
@@repaironwheels this is the main reason why I wouldn’t replace it myself. Not being water proof is a deal breaker. Great video nonetheless 👍
I’d be willing to bet that apple couldn’t even guarantee the seal post repair
I’ve seen quite a few devices repaired by Apple that went in the water post repair and didn’t recover from it. I can only assume the gasket they are using on the 12/13 series holds up better. That being said half of the equation is the individual repairing your phone and how well they install the new gasket. I experienced that personally with an iPhone X screen swapped under warranty from Apple. The gasket was visibly sticking out so the phone couldn’t have been ip68 water resistant anymore. I’ll leave it with this. From the factory newer devices specifically 12 and 13 hold up much better over time even a year later. But once the device is opened there’s a big question mark
My battery health seems to drop significantly the closer we get to a new iPhone release 🤔
Just a coincidence 😉
When should you replace your battery at what % my battery health is 88%
There’s no set number, Apple suggest replacing at 80% but I suggest replacing when it begins inconvenience you. For some of my customers that’s 80% for other that’s 70%
Did you use the screen sticker (the one which holds the screen intact) ?? I think you didn't !!
I ended up retaining pretty much 100% of the original gasket so I ended up not needing to install another
@@repaironwheels Damn!! but the glue that holds screen, once removed its useless right ??
It’s not entirely useless. Assuming you can retain all or most, it helps to keep dust out. But it’s essentially useless if your phone is fully submerge
As a side not, it’s not glue or adhesive that ultimately holds the screen to the frame it’s the clips on the screen that fit into the brackets in the housing that hold the two together. The adhesive gasket adds a bit of extra grip. But the main force holding them are the brackets in the housing
How important is the alcohol? Alcohol in my region is banned even for medical and indistrial use.
Isopropyl alcohol is banned? It’s also used as an antiseptic for cleaning wounds. It’s not necessary but it really helps.
@@repaironwheels the native people were drinking all form of alcohol and getting poison. We have now 0 alcohol anything.
@papadonkus9219 I don’t know am alternative but using iso alcohol is an aid. Not a necessity
@@repaironwheels thankyou sir
@papadonkus9219 ✌️
I replaced back glass and now phone getting heat what is the problem
How did you replace the back glass
Housing method or laser method
Like … 😎👍🏻 Put Ads at end if you can
I need to go back and do that to all my old videos
Is there any important battery massage?
If you don’t transfer the daughter board from the original battery, yes. You can order batteries that don’t have that board but you also need to buy a spot welding tool to properly transfer the board from the old battery to the new
Can I put a 13 pro max battery in one of these?
Not to my knowledge
What kind of alcohol should i use ?
Isopropyl alcohol. 91% or 99%
can i place a replacement battery inside the iphone before taking it out to test i dont know if my battery is faulty im on a boot loop of death but its not even holding charge by the looks of it it wont boot loop unplugged it wont even power
Unplug your ear speaker flex first
But yes. I lay a new battery on top of the old and shove the old flex out of the way to test batteries during a diagnostic all the time
@@repaironwheels thank you i have just sat here in a panic and drilled the screws out to test ff unplugging a flex works for the proxim sens etc and nothing im guessing it could be a battery fault would you agree , there is no power going into the phone only logo shows and goes when plugged in and unplugged no power or even a boot loop, would you agree the battery is done and i need a new bat
@@repaironwheels thanks so far i have ordered a new battery and awill try the battery if it still boot loops do u think it could be something else if its not even holding any charge while with the original battery and boot loops
Boot looping is usually signs of a board level issue
Perfect 👌
Thank you
Will it remain waterproof later?
Once the water resistant rating is lost there’s really no way to regain it
Reinstalling a gasket will only keep dust out, it can’t do anything about keeping water out
Battery issue or any other issue
I don’t know what you mean
Bootloop after battery replacement.. any ideas?
Does the old battery work
@@repaironwheels yes but it got swollen plus i ripped the power flex cable.. could that be the issue or i got a bad battery?
It always helps to try a known good. If you plug in your old battery does the phone turn on
@@repaironwheels let me try that
Usually when that happens I suggest disconnecting and reconnecting any flexes you interacted with
Is my True tone and face id gone after changing battery? Or any issues?
true tone or face id are not affected, you will lose battery health data tho
@@repaironwheels The Battery Health Will Show Wrong Percentage?
@mdlabib8688 it won’t show any.
@@repaironwheels What if I use an OEM battery from Apple? With the Battery Health still not be displayed?
@dR1923 oem comes from 2 places. Apple directly (self service support) or from another iphone. As of now if you use a battery from another iphone you will lose battery % in settings/health
The only way to retain if by going to Apple directly or ordering one from self service support
1. iPhone after back glass repair
2. Buy normal separator!!!
Can you elaborate on this?
I recently jumped in the pool with my 12 pro I was in there for ab 20 mins the phone worked still when I got out. I went to go plug it in that night and now it won’t turn on what should I do get the battery replaced or is it something major
Without seeing the phone first hand it’s difficult to say. I’d start by getting the phone opened up. And possible battery or charging port before moving on the next possibility
👎 what about waterproof stickers?
What about them. There’s no way to make the phone water resistant again. The only purpose they serve is it prevent the screen from tapping against the frame
@@repaironwheels in fact, special stickers are sold on a transfer template for re-gluing.
@@repaironwheels very strange if you didn’t know this simple sings
If you are referring to the battery adhesives I normally re install them. If I didn’t in the video it’s because I didn’t have any at the time
@@repaironwheels I mean the waterproof glue stick between the case and the screen. You did not install it and the phone remained completely unprotected from even the slightest moisture and the screen itself is probably hanging out without this adhesive layer.
Important battery message after 😂
Unfortunately
Try making shorter videos. People love seeing repairs videos but shorter ones.
That’s the dilemma I have every video. If it’s short it’s difficult to be specific or to go into detail. If I’m too specific the video is unnecessarily long
@@repaironwheels I liked the length of your video. I haven’t repaired or replaced anything newer than an 8 Plus. I’ve been nervous about the 12 pro and 12 pro max that we have several of now. Batteries are all about ready to need done.
Thanks for the video and the pro tip! I have never used isopropyl alcohol before! I always have 90% in the house. That’s going to be a huge time and frustration saver!!
I’m a mom with 4 kids. Screen replacements were the most common with all those kids. Videos like yours saved me a ton of money over the years! Keep up the great content and thorough content!
Thank for you for the kind words of encouragement. The 12 series are that bad once you get inside. It’s getting the oled off without damaging it (especially in scenarios where you need to reuse the screen like batteries or charging ports). Once again isopropyl 91%+ to the rescue. Check out a video I did about that, hopefully it helps out
Too much minute work and needs the right tools. If I buy the li-on battery myself, minimum cost $30. Apple charge $90 to do the job, you judge which is better. You do it yourself, risk to damage the costly handset.
Off the top of my head there are a few reasons someone might want to DIY this:
1) there are a handful of scenarios where Apple will deny a battery replacement so DIY is your only option
2) you live in the middle of nowhere and Apple is a several hour drive. I go snowboarding in mammoth lakes near Yosemite National park and the nearest Apple is 3 hours one way
3) you don’t want to part with your phone to mail it into Apple
That being said, if there’s an Apple close to you I think the extra few $s to avoid the liability of damaging your screen and everything else that comes along with the repair is well worth the money spent
Where i can buy original apple batteries???
Apple has a self service repair site, Or occasionally mobilesentrix has some for sale
@@repaironwheels on exmple, iStyle Store repair service searches 10000 ways to NOT replace original battery on their bill, althought is battery degraded in one year from 100 till 80%. Catastrophy.
Then i went to EPL Store repair service and there changed whole phone in 14 days without ANY QUESTION.
So, EPL, the right place for repair and thumbs down for iStyle service.
He’s lucky he didn’t break the glass opening like a noob
Since I made this video I have a different technique. That being said how do you open 12s and 13s
I can now open 12 13 14 series without heat
Good, keep it up
Will do
Too slow 🥵
In depth videos are
It’s kind of the point. To go slow
