iPhone 1st Gen-Good, cheap battery replacement? - anonymouse1 - 09-05-2011
I'm trying to nurse this puppy along, but it's at the point that I have to recharge morning and night, if I'm not careful.
The best I've found is around $50--anybody know of anything better.
And please remember--this is a 1st gen--there's lots of cheaper places for 3g and 3gs.
Thanks!

Meritline used to offer replacement batteries.

Sorry, should have been clearer:
I'm looking for a service--it looks like a bunch of work to do a 1st gen iPhone battery.
Thanks!

FYI: I tried to open an iPod Touch and it's very difficult... I would probably do it right now after I saw how it comes apart, but the first time I did screw up. graylocks also found the process very difficult. if iPhone 1 is the same way, just pay someone who knows what they're doing.
you can also wait a few weeks to see if a new prepaid iPhone comes out.
