Introduction

Use this guide to replace a used, nonfunctional, or a reduced capacity battery in a Pine64 PinePhone. Batteries naturally degrade over time, so use this guide after a few years of strenuous use to give an older phone new life.

Before beginning, make sure to power off the phone and disconnect from any external power source.

Use caution. If the battery emits an odor, liquid, or is swollen, this repair may be dangerous.

Parts

3000 mAh Li-Ion removable battery

Step 1

Place the device face down on a non-scratch surface.
Ensure the device is powered off before removing the case as removing the battery or making internal changes could cause physical or hardware damage to the phone

Step 2

Using a fingernail pry open the back cover off with the bottom left indent.
A notch to easily remove the cover is located at the bottom left of the PinePhone with the back cover facing the user.

Step 3

Using a fingernail, press into the bottom divot and remove the battery from the phone.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

I have all ready done this and my Pinephone doesn't work. It seems that I wasted a lot of money on a piece of junk and it's best for me not to buy another Pine64 product and convince as many people as possible not to do business with Pine64.
