Choosing a Battery Cover for Your Phone
Smartphones are not impervious to dents and damage, and the back housing of your Motorola Droid Turbo is no exception. Instead of buying an entirely new phone or paying someone else to repair it, you can do this quick fix yourself and restore your phone to its former glory by replacing a broken, cracked, or faulty back case.
What Does a Battery Cover Do?
You may not be entirely sure what this component even does when it comes to your mobile phone, but there are a few reasons why it's a necessary part that needs immediate repair when one is required.
- The back housing of your Droid Turbo keeps your battery intact. You won't have to worry about your phone's battery falling out, as the cover not only keeps it securely inside, but it also protects it from dust, water, and other things that could ruin or potentially damage the sensitive battery inside.
- This part enables you to use your phone properly by adding cut-outs for your charging cord and USB inputs for your peripherals, so it works just as it did before it became damaged.
How Do You Pick the Right Cover?
These are more than just accessories, but when you want to change the look of your phone, you can use this as an excuse to do so.
- Choose a battery back that comes in a different color than the one you previously had. Available colors include red, black, white, or silver.
- When you drop your phone, your screen may become damaged, too. In these cases, you can purchase a kit that comes with a replacement screen along with a back battery housing to repair both components at the same time.
- Make sure the part you pick is compatible with your specific model of wireless device. You can also choose from OEM parts, which are made by the original equipment manufacturer of your phone, or you can purchase a third-party part, which comes from another brand or maker.
How Do You Replace This Part?
You may not have an advanced degree in tech, but that's not a problem when it comes to a fix like this because you can follow a handful of steps and grab a few tools to complete this repair.
- First, power the device down completely and remove the SIM card from your phone.
- Next, use a pry tool to loosen the back from the front of your device carefully and do it gently so as not to damage any other parts or accessories.
- You can use a hair dryer to loosen the adhesive on the old battery cover, then swap it out for the new one and add new adhesive. After you replace the part, place something heavy on top of it and let it dry for a few hours before you use your smartphone.
