Changing the battery and back cover of a Sony Xperia Z1 Compact D5503.
Mainly utilizing a hair dryer and a guitar pick, maybe a spudger and a little bit of patience.
A suitable battery is available here (it's one without the antenna, you have to reuse your old antenna if you need NFC):

A few additional things to note: - Do not push the pick in too deep. You can end up damaging the NFC sticker on the old battery (more on that below). - The camera lens area is magnetic, so be careful when removing the screw, as it might magnetize to the lens. - My new battery did not come with an NFC sticker or the foam square above the power connector. I had to remove these from the old battery using the toolkit tools and then reapply them to my new battery. - When removing the film on the back of the backplate, there is a second layer of film on the camera lens. Remove this additional film circle with tweezers.

@JanBeta 7 лет назад

Thanks for contributing your experiences. Hope this helps even more people repair their phones.

@Transgenic86 7 лет назад

No problem! I'm just happy I got my phone working again. I had the same issue as you, but I rode it out until the battery was nearly completely dead. It would only last for about 6% until shutting off.

@georgiivanov385 7 лет назад

hey guys do i have to change the backplate or i can use the old one

@JanBeta 7 лет назад

+georgi ivanov You can use the old one but you probably have to get new sticky tape then.

@mihairotto3 6 лет назад

Thanks very much for video,thanks to you I successfully replaced my one with an original battery without NFC ( I don't mind) it came 18%charged and now my phone is like new. I accidentally had the correct metal tool and that allowed me to remove the case easily and without damage it . I already ordered a replacement but I could actually re seal the original one. Thanks again :)

@AdeptHavelock 8 лет назад

Hi Jan, excellent tutorial. One of the best I've seen. Just a couple of questions, did the replacement battery hold it's charge once it had been fully charged and have you tested the phone's waterproof capability since you put the new back cover one? Thanks from the UK!

@JanBeta 8 лет назад

+Andrew Wyatt Thanks Andrew. The replacement battery holds its charge very well. I guess I was lucky and it's a real Sony one. I heard there's a special glue to keep the phone waterproof (which I didn't use). I suspect mine isn't anymore.

@JanBeta 7 лет назад

+Damian Lydon Glad I could help. That's actually one of the main reasons I made the video. Nobody else showed where exactly to open the thing.

@colintaylor4469 7 лет назад

A very helpful video; easy to follow and understand. My new battery did not come with the NFC sticker, I carefully peeled it from the old battery and stuck it in place on the new battery without a problem. There are 2 small tabs at the lower end of the battery which need fitting in place first, before the top right [tiny] screw, or the cover will not fit properly. As a native English speaker may I say how impressed I am with your excellent English. Keep up the good work PS Is the Z1 Compact a lovely little phone, or what?

@JanBeta 7 лет назад

Thanks! Glad I could help. And thanks for adding the info about the little tabs. The Z1 is a lovely phone indeed!. :)

@kraamlep 7 лет назад

Jan Beta New battery seems healthy so far. Time will tell... Will it keep dying like the old one?

@JanBeta 7 лет назад

Lithium cells don't last forever, sadly. So it will fail again at some point. If it is of good quality, it will hopefully last for some years. :)

@ShaveyaHead 8 лет назад

Awesome video, I'll definitely be using it next week to replace my battery. All I can find on Ebay though is batteries without the NFC antenna. If I use one, will it affect anything other than NFC? Cos I never use it and can live without it. Also, was the battery cover you got an official Sony one or 3rd party?

@JanBeta 8 лет назад

Losing the NFC antenna will not affect anything else afaik. I think you can also try and carefully remove/reapply the old antenna if you want to keep NFC capability. It's basically just a sticker. The back cover I used was the cheapest one I could find that had the sticky tape already on it. Definitely not an official one.

@ShaveyaHead 8 лет назад

Yeah I think I'll try transferring the antenna, but the priority is obviously not to damage anything. If it doesn't work then no biggie, 3 and a half years I've used NFC once just to try it.

@JanBeta 8 лет назад

Yeah I also didn't find a real use for NFC other than experimenting a bit. Anyway, hope your battery exchange goes well!

@pavlo0o0o 8 лет назад

your tutorial helped me so much. спасибо! p.s. old battery date is 14w03 (3 week of 2014) and new is 14w22. Did your battery died so fast?

@JanBeta 8 лет назад

Glad I could help. Until now, I didn't realize the date codes on the batteries. The "new" one seems to hold up well, so I guess it has had zero load cycles as advertised. A bit strange that it is so old, though. I just bought it shortly before shooting the video. The original battery died a bit before that.

@ClaudioNicolotti 7 лет назад

Thank you for this great tutorial. I changed my battery following your instructions :-) As far as you know, does the newer battery cover make the phone water proof as before?

@JanBeta 7 лет назад

+Claudio Nicolotti Glad that it worked for you! The new cover is most probably not very waterproof though. You would have to use some kind of special glue for waterproofing it again.

@mannyme2986 7 лет назад

thanks for the instructions mate. I have a question, I bought a battery but not a new back cover, can a reuse the old one and what glue could I use to glue it back on. thank in advance for any help.

@JanBeta 7 лет назад

+manny me I think there is pre-cut double sided adhesive available. You I could also just use a good thin double sided tape around all edges (I recommend 3M brand). The phone will obviously not be waterproof anymore except you get a special adhesive for that purpose.

@TheAbyss200 8 лет назад

Hi, great video, I'm trying to replace my battery but it still does not seem to work. So I would like to know, How many time did you leave the battery charge before it works at all? Thank you in advance for your answer.

@TheAbyss200 8 лет назад

I ask this because I don't know If I did something wrong because when I try to charge it the light is only blinking on red and I don't know if it is charging or not. Or if it is something that I did not put on its place

@JanBeta 8 лет назад

+TheAbyss200 I think the red light blinking means there's something wrong with your battery and it's not charging. Mine worked fine after the first charge. Is the battery connector correctly inserted (the flex cable pointing to the bottom of the phone)? Sometimes even a little dust on the connector prevents it from making contact. Try reinserting it. Otherwise you probably got a faulty battery, I guess.

@JanBeta 8 лет назад

+TheAbyss200 Could also be that the charging circuit in the phone itself is broken. Did the old battery charge at least for a bit? If so, the circuit is prbly fine.

@TheAbyss200 8 лет назад

Yes the battery did charge before I replaced it, and after a minutes I realized It was the connector! Thank you so much for your quick feedback. And thank you so much for this awesome video!

@JanBeta 8 лет назад

+TheAbyss200 Ah, good. Glad I could help!

@diegocanossa5676 7 лет назад

Thank you for the tutorial. The replacement batteries I find online don't seem to have that square circuit that you said to be the antenna (NFC). Is it possible that new batteries come without the antenna? If so, is it possible to dettach it from the old battery and stick it to the new one? Thank you very much!

@JanBeta 7 лет назад

A lot of replacement batteries come without the NFC antenna. It should be possible to carefully peel it off the original battery and put it on the new one. It's just a kind of sticker. If it breaks, you only lose the NFC capability of the phone, everything else should be fine.

@diegocanossa5676 7 лет назад

@cannnonfoddder 7 лет назад

I made the ameture mistake of trying to prise the back off from the side which leverages the entire internal frame out. Protip: Start prising the back off from the notch at the top (speaker?) then there's no mistake. Changed the battery (mine didn't come with an NFC antenna though), replaced the back and all seems good again.

@JanBeta 7 лет назад

+cannnonfoddder Yes, starting from the notch is indeed a good idea. I nearly made the mistake myself on the first try but realized it before I applied force. Glad your repair worked in the end. :)

@475girish 7 лет назад

Hi Jan Beta, Thanks for this beautiful Tutorial. m just waiting for my new battery which i have ordered from Amazon.india the name of the battery in amazon i written as Sony Xperia Z1 Mini D5503 Z1 Compact M51W Battery (LIS1529ERPC) (SP) and i m geeting it tomorrow. hope i will get Original Sony battery. or atleast a good battery which has good life. so my question to u is once i remove back case. will my Z1c looses water resistance capability...?

@JanBeta 7 лет назад

+Girish M Thanks! Yes, it will not be as water resistant as before. There is some kind of special sealant available, but I'm not aware of how to get it unfortunately.

@475girish 7 лет назад

Hi Jan Beta yesterday i tried replacing battery but i opened the back case successfully but my new battery power connector to phone was not at all connecting i tried many times no luck, my phone failed to turn on. phone was turning on only when i unscrew it and hold the power connector so i just gave to phone repair center and that guy fixed it and said me that the connector strip was little short in size so it was not connecting...unfortunately i had to pay little money for fixing it. not a problem anyways it got fixed.

@JanBeta 7 лет назад

+Girish M Oh, good that your phone works again. Not so nice that the battery connector didn't fit well. I guess there is a lot of fake and low quality replacement batteries out there. Unfortunately it's very hard to tell which ones are good until you try. Hope you didn't pay too much. Anyways, thanks for sharing!

@Lynngys 8 лет назад

Hi, can you please tell me where you bought the battery with the nfc sticker on it and the backcase with the good sticky part, because I read in the comments that not all back cover stick well

@JanBeta 8 лет назад

Hi Lynn. I'm afraid I can't really help you there. Got both things from German ebay. The back cover I just bought the cheapest one I could find that had the sticky stuff already on it. The battery claimed to be a Sony original (which it probably is) which was salvaged from an unused phone that was on display somewhere. Maybe you can find something similar. Good luck anyway!

@SniperNLN 7 лет назад

Hello. Thank you for this video. I have a question. Can battery removal affect phone data (settings and all) in any case?

@JanBeta 7 лет назад

+SniperNLN I'm not an expert on how the data is stored but it should all be flash storage so it won't be affected at all by removing the battery. It's just like turning the phone off and on again. You should always make a backup of any important data before you open up a device anyway, just to be perfectly safe.

Oh, I wouldn't recommend that. If you accidentally heat it up too much or drop it it might explode in your face. Using something less hot and more controllable is recommended!

@thepvporg 2 года назад

I have one of these and I bought a battery to exchange the dead one and my battery doesn't look like that despite coming from a Sony supplier... Its meant to have NFC and my cell doesn't have the NFC bit on it. :(

@JanBeta 2 года назад

Oh, sorry to hear that. The replacement batteries come with and without NFC antennas from different manufacturers I think. If you are patient, you can peel off the antenna from the old battery and reuse it. It is literally just a sticker.

@letsgochamp8516 7 лет назад

hi can use the one without that black antena at the back, amazon dont have this type of batteery any more

@JanBeta 7 лет назад

They should work just fine. The only thing you lose is the NFC capability (which most people don't ever use anyway). You could also try reusing the antenna from the old battery. It is basically just a sticker that can carefully be peeled off and attached to the new battery.

@JanBeta 7 лет назад

I don't know of a way to do it from the outside. You would have to take the battery out and test it with a multimeter. And it would probably show the right voltage anyway. I would just try a new battery I think. Chances are quite good that it fixes it.
