Einleitung

Use this guide to remove or replace the display on your Motorola Edge (2022).

Note: Follow this guide to replace the display assembly by itself. Some replacement screens for this phone come pre-installed in a new frame (a.k.a. chassis), which requires you to transplant all of your phone's internals and install a new battery. If you're replacing the screen attached to a frame, follow this guide instead.

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 in order to complete this repair.

  1. xLsBXZmv3ogqEF6j

    • Completely power off your phone before you begin.

    • Heat an iOpener and apply it to the back cover's left 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 back cover and internal battery are both susceptible to heat damage.

    • Apply a suction cup to the back of the phone, as close to the bottom left corner as possible.

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

    • 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.

    • Apply a few drops of high-concentration (90% or higher) isopropyl alcohol to the gaps along the battery's edges.

    • Tilt the device as you apply alcohol to help it flow under the battery.

    • Wait one minute to allow the isopropyl alcohol to penetrate the adhesive.

    • Only apply a few drops initially and apply more as necessary. If you apply too much alcohol, it may overflow onto the motherboard and daughterboard.

    • Apply a suction cup to middle of the battery.

    • Pull up on the suction cup with strong, steady force to separate the battery from the frame.

    • If the battery doesn't budge, apply a few more drops of isopropyl alcohol, wait one minute, and try again.

    • Once the display is hot to the touch, apply a suction handle to the top of the display, as close to the edge as possible.

    • If your display is badly cracked, covering it with a layer of clear packing tape may allow the suction cup to adhere. Alternatively, very strong tape may be used instead of the suction handle. If all else fails, you can superglue the suction cup to the display.

    • Insert an opening pick in the small gap between the display and the frame, near the front camera.

    • Pull up on the suction handle with a strong, steady force while pushing in and down on the pick until the pick slides under the display.

    • The display adhesive is very strong, so this may take multiple attempts. If you're having trouble, reheat the display and try again.

    • Slide the pick to the top right corner of the display and leave it inserted to prevent the adhesive from resealing.
