Step 1: Power Off and Prepare
Before starting the battery replacement process, make sure your Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus is powered off. This is crucial to avoid any mishaps during the replacement process. Additionally, gather all the necessary tools and materials mentioned above.
Step 2: Remove the Back Cover
Begin by using the plastic opening tool to gently pry open the back cover of your Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus. Start from one corner and gradually work your way around the edges, releasing the clips that hold the back cover in place. Be careful not to use excessive force to avoid damaging the cover or any internal components.
Step 3: Remove the Screws
Using the small Phillips screwdriver, remove the screws that secure the battery connector bracket and the shield located near the bottom of the device. Keep these screws in a safe place, as you will need them later during reassembly.
Step 4: Disconnect the Battery Connector
Locate the battery connector near the bottom of the device and gently disconnect it by prying it upwards with the plastic opening tool. Take your time and ensure that you do not damage the connector or any surrounding components.
Step 5: Remove the Battery
Now that the battery connector is disconnected, you can remove the old battery. You may need to use the plastic opening tool and the tweezers to carefully lift the battery from the adhesive holding it in place. Take caution not to puncture or damage the battery during this process, as it can be hazardous.
Step 6: Install the New Battery
Take the replacement Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus battery and align it correctly in the battery compartment. Press it firmly to ensure a proper connection with the adhesive securing it in position.
Step 7: Reconnect the Battery Connector
With the new battery in place, reconnect the battery connector by gently pressing it down until it snaps into place.
Step 8: Secure the Battery Connector Bracket and Shield
Using the previously removed screws, secure the battery connector bracket and shield back into their original positions. Take care not to over-tighten the screws.
Step 9: Attach the Back Cover
Carefully align the back cover with the edges of your Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus and press it firmly until you hear a series of clicks, indicating that the clips have snapped back into place and have securely held the back cover in position.
