In this part of the video, the speaker explains the process of removing a glued battery from a phone. Initially, they remove 15 standard Phillips screws using a Phillips screwdriver provided in the replacement kit. The upper antenna with the NFC and wireless charging panel is removed first, followed by the lower antenna with a single speaker panel. Next, they disconnect the battery and use a plastic card to carefully pry it out, emphasizing patience as this step takes time. After successfully removing the battery, they clean glue from both the phone and the frame to ensure the new water-resistant adhesive will stick properly. The final steps involve cleaning the back panel, inserting the new battery temporarily to test functionality, and then preparing for the proper installation of the battery.

In this part of the video, the presenter explains how to properly remove plastic stickers and glue the battery in place, emphasizing the importance of positioning the cable correctly. Next, the lower antenna with the speaker is installed, followed by the upper antenna panel including NFC and wireless charging. Once all components are securely fastened, they proceed with attaching the water-resistant adhesive sticker to the back panel. This sticker ensures the back panel remains firmly attached to the phone. Following this, the fingerprint sensor’s connector is reattached, and the back panel is pressed firmly onto the phone.
After reattaching the SIM tray, the phone is powered on to commence testing. The tests include verifying the Wi-Fi connection by loading Apple’s website, checking the lower speaker, and most crucially, the fingerprint sensor. Proper connection of the fingerprint sensor is critical to avoid reopening the phone. The face unlock feature is also tested and confirmed to be working fine.
