IPA is the same thing youâd use to clean the circuitry/hardware so it shouldnât cause any damage unless it dissolves with the glue and somehow thatâs damaging (it shouldnât be).

In hindsight, tough, maybe putting some IPA onto the plastic card I used to insert underneath the battery would have worked well.

Thatâs one of my go toâs when fixing phones. FYI, the plastic playing cards work great for that.

FYI, it would almost certainly cause no damage. 91% isopropyl alcohol evaporated extremely fast and with no electricity flowing it couldnât short anything.

Actually less worried about shorting something, note worried about it damaging some adhesive or protective film, or anything on the screen, really :)
