- I'm sorry for this. I still felt it was better to upload than not. Next video will be better quality, I promise.

I don't want to backseat you or tell you how to do things, this is mostly just some information/advice/tips or whatever you would like to call it. From my experience doing iPhones there are a couple of things I can tell you to help you for next time you may do this. The black stick that comes in the pro tech tool kit may be better to use than the blue pry ones, the black sticks tend to have a little more range in smaller angles when you are working in some of the other models of iPhones. It's what I've always used when working on them. The other things is when you wanted to put the battery inside the phone you started by putting that adhesive into the case of the phone rather than on the back of the battery. I would highly recommend putting the adhesive on the back of the battery because you can properly attach the tabs to the bottom of the battery for removal at a later date, you had attached the adhesive upside down. In addition to that when you put the adhesive on the bottom of the battery you can guide the battery connector into place without the adhesive touching the base of the phone so you are able to re-adjust before fully committing. I'm not sure if that makes complete sense, I've tried to reword it as best as possible. Lastly, I think when you tried to put the phone back together I think you missed the slide-in clips on the top portion of the display, I don't remember off the top of my head if the iPhone 5 has that but I think that's what it was. Again this isn't to bash you or anything, just some information for your next iPhone repair, you did just fine in replacing the battery, it seems like it can be a difficult repair but once you do it becomes much easier. Sorry for the paragraph I hope it helped or gave some insight, good video!
Peter De La Cruz Hey I recognize you from the last video. I’m open to any and all suggestions so I appreciate you taking the time to comment and even watch the video. By black stick do you mean spudger? I can see how that would be better. I do agree, putting the adhesive on the battery first would be much simpler. I definitely was a bit confused with the adhesive portion. I’m definitely new to all this. Thanks for the feedback. Just so you know my next couple videos won’t be electronics repair because the last one wore me out. I will get back to it though. Again, thanks for watching.
@@Yoenosh I believe it's called the spudger, I've always said black stick because that is what I was taught when learning the repairs. And that's okay, don't be completely discouraged by the difficulty. Definitely worth a try again on something else, I am interested to see what else you have to offer on this channel.
@@peterdelacruz1692 Getting feedback from people like you sure is encouraging. Mostly I was discouraged from the video quality standpoint. I want to make good quality videos but I kept making mistakes so I tried to add some humor to make up for it. Next repair video is an iPhone 6 I dropped in water. Apparently replacing the battery is a good place to start so I already bought one. I can't say for certain when I'll actually record it though.
Yoenosh Nothing will be perfect the first time around and that’s okay. Making mistakes is how you learn so it’s a good thing. For the iPhone 6 there will be adhesive pull tabs in the bottom portion of the battery. I typically remove the haptic engine to get more space and to avoid breaking the adhesive when pulling it. If it was dropped in water there is always the possibility of corrosion which may make the repair impossible unless you know how to microsolder or pay for it depending on how bad it is. I look forward to seeing it if you decide to do it.
Peter De La Cruz I’ve made my fair share of mistakes so I share that philosophy. I’ll follow your advice on the haptic engine. Would you recommend using the iOpener to loosen the adhesive or just go for it? I have watched some videos about repairing phones after water damage. I can at least try cleaning with isopropyl alcohol and a toothbrush but anything beyond that is past my current skill set. First I’ll try connecting the new battery to see if there’s any effect. It might be a two part video but I’ll definitely get to it. Really appreciate the suggestions.
