Einleitung

Use this guide to remove or replace the motherboard in your Motorola Edge (2022).

For your safety, discharge the battery below 25% before disassembling your phone. This reduces the risk of a dangerous thermal event if the battery is accidentally damaged during the repair. If your battery is swollen, take appropriate precautions.

You'll need replacement adhesive to complete this repair.

    • Completely power off your phone before you begin.

    • Heat an iOpener and apply it to the back cover's right edge for two minutes.

    • A hair dryer, heat gun, or hot plate may also be used, but be careful not to overheat the phone—the display and internal battery are both susceptible to heat damage.

    • Apply a suction cup to the back of the phone, as close to the middle of the right edge as possible.

    • Pull up on the suction cup with a strong, steady force to create a gap between the back cover and the frame.

    • Depending on the age of your phone, this may be difficult. If you're having trouble, apply more heat to the edge and try again.

    • Insert an opening pick into the gap.

    • Use the pointed end of a spudger to pry up and disconnect the battery's press connector.

    • To re-attach press connectors like this one, carefully align and press down on one side until it clicks into place, then repeat on the other side. Do not press down on the middle. If the connector is misaligned, the pins can bend, causing permanent damage.

    • Use the pointed end of a spudger to pry up and disconnect the white antenna's coaxial connector.

    • Pry under the rounded edge of the coaxial connector, not the straight edge. If you pry under the straight edge you may rip the socket off of the motherboard.

    • During reassembly, make sure to put the cable back in its clip on the motherboard.

    • To re-attach coaxial connectors like this one, hold the connectors in place and gently press them straight down with your finger or the pointed end of a spudger.

    • Take care not to puncture or bend the battery with your tweezers—a punctured or bent battery may leak dangerous chemicals or cause a fire.

    • Use a pair of tweezers to grip the bottom right corner of the motherboard near the peg on the right edge of the phone.

    • Pull the motherboard up and over the peg with a slow, steady force. This should release a few clips securing the motherboard.

    • This may require multiple attempts and significant force, as the peg wedges the motherboard in very tightly.
