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

The part in this guide includes the display assembly, screen cable, midframe, volume buttons, power button, and the fingerprint sensor. If you’re replacing just the display panel, follow this guide instead.

This repair requires removing the battery. If the battery is deformed, dented, or damaged in any way, don't reinstall it. Reinstalling a damaged battery is a potential safety hazard. Replace it with a new one.

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.
