LG G2 Sprint Battery Replacement

Flip your phone over and slide a plastic opening tool between the two sides of the phone case.

• Gently pry the case open, working towards the bottom, until you hear the clip pop open.
• Next, carefully release the clip on the top left corner, taking care to avoid applying too much pressure.

Remove the outer phone case.

• Prepare two Phillips head bits: one J0 size and one J000 size.
• Use the J0 bit to remove 11 silver screws.
• Use the J000 bit to remove a small black screw.

Locate the clip on the upper left side of the upper panel and use a plastic opening tool to gently pry it free.

• The upper inside panel should now easily flip up from the phone case once all clips and screws are removed.
• If the panel does not come off smoothly, recheck that you've removed all of the screws in place.

Be cautious when handling the ribbons connected to the board, as they require careful removal with a plastic opening tool.

Remove all screws securing the bottom inside panel.

• Pry the panel back and check that it comes loose freely.
• If the panel does not come off easily, double-check for any missed screws.

Careful handling is required to prevent damage to the ribbon and wires.

• Circle the clips and circuits in the provided images.
• Release the circled components using your tools.
• Disconnect cables at the connectors, not along the wire, to avoid damage.

Be cautious when releasing clips and circuits — risk of damage to ribbons or wires.

• Identify the marked clips and circuits in the images above.
• Gently release each clip, taking care not to bend or break attached ribbons or wires.

The orange material should be bent along the dotted line labeled "bend" with minimal deviation for optimal alignment.

Disconnect all ribbon and antennae connections.

• Remove the board by gently prying it up from the bottom of the case.
• Ensure that all ribbon connectors are detached before proceeding.

Prevent static damage by following ESD guidelines.

• Insert a plastic Uspudger under the top left edge of the battery.
• Apply steady, firm pressure to release the battery from its adhesive.
• Be cautious not to apply too much force, which may cause the case to bend.
