We'll be using ethanol liquid to loosen the adhesive and make the process smooth and damage-free. In this video, we demonstrate the easiest and safest method to remove a glued-in phone battery.
How do you remove a battery pack from a keyboard?
Careful not to melt the keys. Then squirt acetone between the battery pack and the housing and use a playing card to slice through the adhesive. Repeat for every battery pack. When you're done removing the battery, let the housing cool down then use a chisel X-acto blade #17 to remove the adhesive from the housing.
How do you remove adhesive from a battery?
Wait 2-3 minutes for the liquid adhesive remover to penetrate and soften the adhesive before you proceed to the next step. Gently slide a plastic card or other thin pry tool under the adhered component. It may help to gently wiggle or twist the card as you go. If you're separating a battery, be careful not to deform or puncture it.
Split open a small section of the battery pack (at the seam) with a screwdriver or craft knife. Continue to pry the plastic case loose moving around the outer edge until the entire top is free. This may take a bit of force. Note the number of cells inside the case (usually four to eight).
Warm the top case with a hair dryer. Careful not to melt the keys. Then squirt acetone between the battery pack and the housing and use a playing card to slice through the adhesive. Repeat for every battery pack.
DON'T use acetone aka nail polish remover. It will eat away at the inner plastics like the mid frame and speaker housing. And screw up your device needing more parts than just the battery to be replaced. Also too IPA will also work to loosen the adhesive under the battery. And a plastic spudger.
BEHOLD, THE MAGIC SOLUTION. Take some Dental Floss, a Qtip, and GOO GONE. Position your dental floss behind the battery. Pull to one side. Wet the Qtip with Goo Gone generously, hard to get too much. Pull. Wet the other side of the floss with Goo Gone. Pull. Repeat this process for 30 minutes in this case.
