Introduction

Is your HTC Desire 610 not holding a charge? Instead of taking it to your phone provider, follow these steps and you can replace that old battery in no time! It's as simple as: take off the back, unscrew the circuit cover, pry out the old battery, and put in a new one. Ta-dah!

Tools

Step 1

Open the SD card slot.

Step 2

Using plastic opening or prying tool, take off the back cover of the phone.
The SD slot opens an area where the edge of the back is exposed and can be pried open easily.

Step 3

Using Phillips 000 Screwdriver, remove the two 2.5mm phillips head screws.

Step 4

Using Torx T5 screwdriver, remove the four silver 5mm torx head screws.

Step 5

Using Torx T5 bit size, remove the four black 4mm torx screws

Step 6

Using plastic opening or prying tool, remove the black plastic circuit cover.

Step 7

Using small plastic opening tool, disconnect the wire connection. Do this by carefully inserting tool under wires and pulling straight up.
You may need to pry from both sides of the wires to remove the connection.
Be careful! Damaging the connection port could prevent a new battery from working.
When inserting a new battery, press firmly on the white connector to snap it into it's port.

Step 8

Use the plastic opening tool - you can use a larger one, or keep using the small one - to pry out the battery.
The battery is glued in with adhesive, so you may have to pry a little hard.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

Hi thanks for the useful video, however after changing it the new battery didnt work. I tried charging and turning on. I replaced with the old one which still charged and was usable but this then also didnt work. Ive checked connections etc. Any other suggestions? Many thanks

@simon and anybody, Another suggestion is to control the connect cable screen which passes under the battery and plugs upside down under the motherboard because it is frequent that it disconnects when we remove the old battery and the smartphone no longer restarts Next.

Thank you very much to the author of this tutorial which I serve me for a friend in January 2024
