Chosen Solution
I am fixing an iphone 4 for a friend and when i go to unscrew the battery it is stripped and ive searched for ways on how to fix it. Ive heard that there is a certain screw driver to fix it. I just need to get the screw out then i will replace it. Can somebody please help me figure out how to get this screw out or what is the name of the screw driver that will get this screw out?
One way is to use a dremel and cut a slot in the top of the screw. Then use a flat-head screwdriver to take out the screw.
I thought mine was stripped too. Then I purchased a precision Screwdriver set from the Dollar Tree for $1 - pulled out the smallest phillips and voila! It worked! Getting out the battery was a bit of a chore-the plastic battery remover broke since the battery was double sided taped in.
I would just carefully use the corner of a razor blade. Push it into the head of the screw, get some traction and unscrew it.
DO NOT BUY THE SCREW EXTRACTOR FOR IPHONE BATTERY!!! i just made that mistake and am still looking for another solution, none of the sizes work for the screw
skeece it left, skeece it right, if you skeece it more than just right, it might be too tight, skeece it up, skeece it down, if you skeece it hard youll be wearing a frown, skeece it sideways, skeece it longways, if you dont know what skeece means youll be havin a long day
You could ship it in to a iPhone repair shop if there’s not one close to you.
I have had luck as far as taking out small screws like these by getting a small piece of metal like a paper clip and open it up and super glue a small amount on it and then place it on the top of the screw and then u have something to turn it with also try that poor people have poor ways heheahah
My iPhone back cracked badly so I decided to buy a new back online. I had the tools to replace it so I thought it would be no big deal. When I went to take the bottom screws out, one was stripped. I looked everywhere and tried everything that I could do aside from buying anything or taking it anywhere. I got so fed up that I took a knife and just pryed the entire back off. I then had to essentially break the screw from the inside. I wouldn’t recommend this way because there was glass everywhere and I almost punctured the battery, but it worked for me and now I have a stylish new aluminum backed iPhone 4.
The nail clippers worked for me on a completely stripped screwhead holding the iPhone 4 battery connector. Thanks for the great idea!
I have the screw out I just need to know how I’m suppose to screw down the battery connector Iphone 4
