Close-up of the Re-assembly instructions/video would have been helpful. The antenna shield is apparently different on some models. Maybe 4 vs 4s? Replacing it on the 4s and getting the orientation correct was the last part where I was in a cold sweat... Rewinding and replaying that part multiple times before deciding the "shiny side" goes down, and that shiny "spot" is up and to the lower-right.

Super easy, the battery I wasn't charged when I got it, so if your phone doesn't turn right on don't panic. Plug it in. Also note the plastic prying tool doesn't come with the iPhone liberation kit, one would be nice! Also an instructions insert in the kit, in case your primary means of internet is the phone itself. All in all great value for the battery and kit, and you should be confident doing it yourself.

The video helped, and I the fixit lady was enjoyable to watch. But I disagree that it's easy and takes 2 minutes. The disassembly was a snap. But reassembly with those microscopic screws and antenna was a pain. It took me about an hour after getting several magnifying tools - finally settling on a jeweler's loupe. I lost a screw once in my computer keyboard but finally got it out (hint - put a cloth under your work area). The tools were nice but a few extra screws would have been helpful. I don't think they are in Lowes hardware section.

the BIGGEST problem, not mentioned in any battery replacement guide is the battery connector must be fitted perfectly! If you don't fit it exactly then the phone will not boot, randomly reboot, or will boot butnot charge. These symptoms are due to the micro pins on the batter not connecting with the circuit board. The singl lock down screw is a poor design. A screw each side would have ensured a much better connection. To fix my phone I had to place a little plastic cutout on top of the plug

Should I try to replace the battery? Also, will replacing the battery affect any of the data on my iPhone?

Certainly this procedure is not as easy as explained in the video. 1. It's quite easy to break the connector 2. There's a good chance you battery (just like mine) will have a lot of glue in the back. I took my time and found out that those plastic spacers will easily break (happened to me) given the amount of glue holding the battery. I ended up using the same screwdriver to prop it from the side closer to the Iphone edge (using the metal side as a leverage). Hope this helps.
