Basically, it is quite easy to replace the battery of the Sony Xperia XZ. Open the screen, remove the flexible screen cable, open the battery cover, remove the battery from its cover, install the replacement battery, put the battery cover back on, and put the screen back on. Done.
The problem is, it is not easy to remove the Xperia XZ screen. The risk of the screen breaking or being pressed is quite high. The same goes for removing and installing the replacement battery.
Installing the Xperia XZ screen correctly also requires care and attention. So that's it....
You need to be patient and not get emotional, hehe....
Actually, this video cannot be called a tutorial video on how to replace the Xperai XZ battery, it is more appropriate to call it a walkthrough video of me replacing the battery.
The original video is 1 hour and 10 minutes long. Yes, because I am not a HP technician, and this is my first experience replacing the Xperia XZ battery which is opened from the screen like this.
Fortunately, it worked and the unit is safe.
