Step-by-Step Instructions
Follow these 7 steps to complete your repair
Preparation and Safety
Before starting battery replacement on your OnePlus OnePlus 5T, power off the phone completely. Remove cases, SIM or memory cards, and any accessories. Gather all tools, wear an anti-static strap, and review the full guide so you know which cables and screws to expect.
Initial Disassembly
Open the OnePlus OnePlus 5T following the correct procedure for this model. Remove external screws, warm adhesive if needed, and use plastic tools to separate panels without damaging clips. Keep screws organized by location.
Access the Component
Disconnect the battery first when possible. Remove shields, brackets, or cables blocking access to the component being replaced. Take photos of cable routing before unplugging anything.
Remove the Old Component
Carefully disconnect the existing battery assembly. Remove adhesive, screws, or brackets holding it in place. Avoid tearing flex cables or damaging nearby parts.
Install the Replacement Part
Seat the new part in the same orientation as the original. Reconnect flex cables and secure brackets or adhesive. Confirm connectors are fully seated before proceeding.
Test Before Full Reassembly
Reconnect the battery temporarily and power on the device. Verify the repair works — display, charging, audio, buttons, or whichever function applies — before closing everything up.
Final Reassembly and Verification
Power off again, complete reassembly, replace all screws, and snap panels back into place. Run a final test of the repaired function and check that Wi‑Fi, cameras, and speakers still work normally.
