A Swollen iPhone 5 Battery

Bulging iPhone 5 Battery.jpg

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.

How To Drain iPhone 3G Battery

Tips on draining iPhone 3G battery in minimum amount of time. All you have to do:

  • Turn on 3G.
  • Turn on Bluetooth and connect to a headset.
  • Turn Wi-Fi and “Ask to Join Networks” on.
  • Play music through built-in speaker.
  • Open Maps, and use the “Locate Me” feature using GPS. Leave the iPhone using that apps.
  • Turn screen brightness to maximum.
  • Set the iPhone not to lock.
  • Set the email to push and minimum of 15 minute interval.
  • Turn anything else you can find on.

Most likely the battery will drain within 90 minutes or less.

OK, that was somewhat pointless, but now I know not to do that anymore.
