Gently pry the battery from the case, making sure not to bend the battery.
Replace the battery with your replacement, popping it in the frame and insert the flex cable.
Keep in mind that if it has lumps or damages it could be dangerous to handle as it can catch on fire.

Once the battery has been removed look for the bright orange power button on the side of your phone.

You can test the button on the motherboard itself to see if it's the motherboard and not the button, if so you may need to replace the motherboard.
Use tweezers to remove the button.
Once the button is taken out replace it with your new button. You may notice rubber-like holders on the sides, make sure they line up with the frame.
