Has anyone here successfully replaced their Battery!

He will have to remove the sim card tray to take it apart. If you have a pin code lock, you should be fine. To test, he will only have to power it up but it would help to be able to see different screens to see if any color issues with pressure points. Best seen on a white and a black screen.
You could always backup everything you don't want to lose and do a factory reset before you drop it off
 
He actually let me sit there as he did it. I was more worried if leaving the SIM card might open me to some hacking or clonnig or some kind of evil elven magik.
It was pretty straightforward, and he said the instructions meant to leave to charge in for 5 hours, and then for the next three usages, allow the phone to go to 0% and then charge it fully again.
Thanks for your help!
 
When you say ""And don't expect to see full battery life for 3 full charge cycles." what do you mean exactly. Will I get full battery life after that?
Thanks.
 
Wow. into the second charge cycle and after it was fully charged I used it for 3 hours, then listen to music for another 3 and left it on overnight, and it's still got 34%
Between the new battery and nougat update, It's feels like a new phone.
Thanks to all who helped!
