However, if there may be times when you will need to replace a non-functioning battery. You will have to open your iPhone's case and then use a soldering iron to detach the battery.

Step 1:
Use a small paper clip to remove the SIM card and holder from your Apple iPhone. Make certain the phone is powered off.
Step 2:
Open the case on your Apple iPhone using a small flat head screw driver, or the case opening tool to pry off the back plastic panel.
Step 3:

Step 4:

10 Tips To Tighten Security On Your Android Device

online identity and as such should be treated with care and secured against any wrongdoing online (hacking) or offline (stolen). If you are not careful, losing your smartphone may mean more than just a loss in contacts and phone numbers.
We’re talking about your social media accounts, your synced files, important documents, your emails, photos and messages.
1. Do Not Save All Of Your Passwords
Many users tend to save their passwords to online services and sites on
their device, never once thinking about what it would mean to a person
who got their hands on the phone. Avoid having all important passwords
saved in your device particularly when it comes to banking or payment
apps.
2. Use Android In-built Security
If you are running on Jelly Bean, you can have a screen lock and encryption enabled to further enhance your security. There are many types of screen locks available for you to choose from such as password, pin, pattern and face unlock,
available in your Android settings. Even when setting pins or pattern
locks, try not to make it easy for hackers to guess your password.
3. Lock Your Apps
It is necessary to lock your apps, especially the ones holding private information that you wish nobody but you could see.
This is a second layer of security to prevent anyone from using your
lost device particularly if they have managed to bypass your locked
Android.
4. The importance of app permissions
Before you begin installing an app from Google Play, a list of
requested permissions will pop up to show you what permission the app
requires. Apps require permissions to do things but not all of them are
necessary.
Always read through the permissions to make sure they make sense and correspond to what the app actually does eg. an alarm app does not require a permission to access your text messages. This is a real important step because not all apps in the Play Store are safe.
5. Securing Your Network
One of the most important thing in protecting your Android is to
secure your network. Try to avoid using public WiFi whenever you want to
do something important like doing your banking online. As long you are sharing the same network with the public, they can easily sniff out your packets and translate it into actual data of your private information i.e. your passwords.
6. Use Mobile Security App
It will make your job easier to have an app that handles most of your security issue. Find a mobile security app that you are comfortable using, for example: Lookout Security & Antivirus and avast! Mobile Security. Even with a security app, you shouldn’t let your guard down as Android malware is getting stronger and more rampant, which brings us to the next tip.
7. Create Multiple User Account To Protect Privacy
If you own an Android tablet and have to share it with a sibling, a spouse, or your kids, having multiple user accounts will help each of you protect your privacy.
In Jelly Bean for tablet, there is an option for you to create multiple
user accounts. You can create another general account for anyone who
wants to use your device. The option is under the Settings > Users section.
8. Prepare A Backup Of Your Data
A backup of your precious data is a must-have in the day and age of
smartphones. Picture the worst case scenario where your Android device
has been stolen or hacked. The last thing you can do is perform a remote
wipe (see #10). Without a backup, you will lose all your information in your device.
Even if you could retrieve your stolen phone, chances are that
hackers that have managed to access your device will render it useless.
If you have a backup however, you can still restore your Android device back to its original state. You can choose to backup important information to the Cloud, your desktop or even to a flash drive, for insurance.
9. Track Your Lost Device
So you have a backup already but you really want to get your lost device back. Well, as the smartphone industry would have it, your phone is built to be trackable, via GPS. The catch is, you have to enable GPS on your phone for it to be tracked. Fret not because, there are plenty of device-tracking apps for Android that can help you locate your lost or stolen device, some can even turn on the GPS on your phone remotely.
10. Enable Remote Wipe
So you are at the point where you have everything installed and ready to go. But, you still need one last feature – the ability for you to wipe your device remotely.
This is necessary, especially when you are sure that your Android is
lost (forever). There’s no crying over spilt milk now – we can only
prevent them from turning it into cheese.

How To Create Booklets Using Microsoft Word 2010 Simple Clicks.
1. Click File,
then Print and at the bottom
of the list Click Page Setup.
2. In the Page Setup window, Click the Margins
tab. Then under Multiple pages Select Book fold from the
drop menu. Under Sheets either Select All or the exact
amount of pages, you plan on having. Be sure to set the gutter to Set
the Gutter to a small margin. The gutter determines the space
between your page content and the fold in the middle of the paper where you
would typically bind pages together.
3. Create your
booklet content, but keep in mind that content is going to print
differently than a regular document. Page 1 and 4 will be printed on the
same side, as Page 2 and 3 will be on the opposite side. Each page size shrinks
to the scale of half a regular page in landscape mode. The image below should
help illustrate.
4. When you are ready to print Click File then Print
and change the printing preference to the correct setting for your
printer. If your printer can automatically re-feed itself printed
documents, then use one of the Print on Both Sides settings, but if your
printer requires you to manually re-insert your paper Select Manually
Print on Both Sides.
Now you can continue adding pages
and design your booklet to be as large as you like! Don’t forget that the
larger you make your booklet, the larger you’ll need to make the Gutter so page
content doesn’t get lost in the cracks when you bind them together.
