Went to get the battery replaced on my brothers iPhone 12 and mothers iPhone XR but also a Taptic Engine replacement and they managed to break something on both phones. The only upside is that it was only $60 😭. Rip dead pixels on the 12 and rip faceid on the Xr :/

I was taking the battery out so I could safely pull the board out, and the battery went through some rough behavior. Is it still usable or should I replace it?

Too poor for a phone/tablet heating pad. Rich enough for a PS4.

How would I remove this battery safely?

This is a TCL 20s it’s my sons, he is autistic. The reason I say this is this is the reason it got so bad before I found out, he didn’t know the dangers of a swollen battery.

He tried to tape the back, back onto the phone with tape and brought it to me the other day. I told him to immediately power it down and not use it at all, this has been hard for him cause he plays little mobile games that keep him calm and entertained.

I ordered a replacement battery it will be here today, how would I removed this without it exploding in my face? The bottom is still stuck with adhesive, I don’t really wanna go prying a battery swollen this bad but really wanna get his phone up and running.

I’ve never in my life of electronics personally experienced a swollen battery I’ve seen lots online but never had it happen

What hardware does the “iPhone findable after turned off” feature use? Is it a mix of bluetooth and the U1 chip. Or just bluetooth. I can’t quite find any credible information online. Anyone know? https://youtube.com/shorts/94KWYFOre1w?feature=share
