A Swollen iPhone 5 Battery

A colleague of mine asked me if I could “unbend” his iPhone 5. I found out that the battery was swelling and pushed the screen out. I then proceeded toat take the screws out and removed the battery.

As of August 29, 2016, Apple is offering $75 in gift card for iPhone 5 trade-in. Apple charges $79 for out of warranty battery replacement. So, It’s not worth having Apple to replace the battery, unless I can give this iPhone 5 to someone.

About that beeping noise.

If you are a Verizon FiOS customer and happen to hear beeping noise that is not coming form your smoke detector alarm,check your FiOS battery backup.

First you could reset the battery backup unit by unplugging the power and disconnecting the battery. If the “Replace Battery” light still on, then call Verizon customer service or technical support.
