Einleitung

If your LG G8 ThinQ is having trouble holding a charge or staying turned on, use this guide to replace the battery. The battery is the main source of life for the device, and therefore can cause several issues if damaged. Refer to the troubleshooting page to decide if this is the repair you need.

Before disassembling your device, discharge the battery below 25%.

Swollen batteries can be very dangerous, so wear eye protection and exercise caution.

This phone uses a strong adhesive on the battery and back panel; iFixit’s adhesive remover or high concentration (90% or higher) of isopropyl alcohol can be used to make the process easier.

Adhesive can be replaced to closer replicate factory fit and finish.

Schritt 1

Unplug and power off your phone before you begin.
Insert the SIM card eject tool into the pinhole in the lower right side of the phone.
Remove the SIM card and tray.

Schritt 2

Place the phone so that the screen is facing down.
Insert opening cards between the back panel and frame of the phone to loosen the clips and adhesive.
Using equal pressure, carefully pry the back panel away from the phone.
Once enough space has been created, use an opening tool to completely separate the back panel from the phone.

I also have a LG G8 ThinQ but maybe the european version
