Hi guys! Thank you so much for advising me on my iPhone battery connector issue. While taking out the battery, I tore off the battery connector and 2 connector pads. I haven’t soldered before and was wondering what exactly I should do to fix this. I have a spare connector. I came to understand that the two connector pads that are gone are resistors and therefore could to be shorted? (Do I just need to connect those using a copper wire?) I might need to bypass the first connector pad too… I’ve included a photo:
Is it for data recovery purposes only or are you trying to make a workable phone out of this? I think the first question you want to answer here is just how much time and effort you want to put into an iPhone 4S. Below you will find the schematic and boardview of the battery connector.
