Introduction
Use this guide to replace the upper component cable containing the flash, microphone, and sleep/power button cable of an iPhone 5s.
This guide requires removing the battery. Removing the battery with the adhesive strips is the safest method, but also leaves your battery without adhesive. When replacing your battery, use a piece of double-sided tape to secure it. The battery is pretty tightly secured in the device, but the tape will keep it from rattling.
