Follow this guide to remove and replace the motherboard on a Motorola Edge.

The cameras connected to the motherboard can be removed in any order.

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

    • Insert a SIM eject tool or SIM eject bit into the small hole in the SIM card tray.

    • If the tool you're using doesn't fit, don't force it. Forcing a tool may cause it to get stuck or break inside the ejection port.

    • Press to eject the tray.

    • Completely power off your phone before you begin.

    • Heat an iOpener, then apply it along the bottom edge of the back cover for two minutes.

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

    I am having no luck removing the back cover on Moto edge. Can apply heat for more than 2 minutes?

    John Wright -

    You may! Heating beyond two minutes won't hurt your device; the iOpener doesn't get hot enough to do that. Apply the iOpener as long and as much as you need to loosen the adhesive.

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

    • Pull up on the suction cup with 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.

    • Slide the pick back and forth along the bottom edge to slice through the adhesive.

    • Leave the pick in to prevent the adhesive from resealing.

    • Apply a heated iOpener to the back cover's right edge for two minutes.

    • Insert a new opening pick into the gap you just created.

    • Slide the pick along the right edge of the phone to separate the adhesive.

    • Repeat the heating, slicing, and leaving opening picks for the remaining edges of the device.

    • Use a spudger to pry up and disconnect the battery cable's press connector from the motherboard.

    • 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. Don't press down on the middle. If the connector is misaligned, the pins can bend, causing permanent damage.

    • Use a pair of blunt tweezers to peel up and remove the copper tape covering the front camera ribbon cable.

    What is the function of the copper tape? Looks in the photo like it was ripped. Can this just be put back in place with no ill effect when reassembling?
