Chosen Solution
I was attempting to replace the battery on my iPhone 6s yesterday. I got the old battery out but when I went to put the new one in I was having difficulty securing the flag looking object (attached to the battery), to the motherboard. It only seems to want to click on the side farthest from the battery. I’ve tried manipulating it so that it would fit properly but I’m not having any luck. Any suggestions on how I can get it to sit properly?
You haven’t stuck the battery on yet right? You need to bend the ribbon cable properly to get it to sit in well before you stick the battery in place. Note that the metal plate that goes over the battery connector helps it stay in too. Update (11/25/2017) Here’s a picture of a new battery connector unused:
the problem is that for some iphone 6s models the battery connector is not the same. In the picture that was sent, it shows the battery connecter with having one silver dot (above and between the two black rectangles), and on some iphone models, the battery has TWO… I dont know why this is the way it is! I have the same problem! @Hogbert is the iphone a japanese iphone 6s? just wondering if that may be part of the issue
Well, I just made the mistake of putting a 6s battery into an iPhone 6. Whoops. I had the issue where it clicked on the right (farthest from the battery) but not the left side. The bracket seemed to be raised, but the phone powered on, so I thought I was good. The phone keeps restarting after a few minutes, and the battery percentage is erratic. (Around this time, I realized I’d ordered the wrong battery thinking my sibs phone was a 6s. Facepalm.) Hopefully, I haven’t caused damage… hoping the proper battery will still be a simple solution. So, if you’re having the same issue, check the obvious and make sure you know what kind of phone it is. :)
