Einleitung

Follow this guide to replace the LCD display panel in your 2021 Motorola Moto G Play.

Note: This procedure is for a screen without the frame (a.k.a. chassis). If you're replacing the screen with a genuine Motorola screen pre-installed in a new frame, follow this guide instead.

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

  1. qgQ1lHBRnuCrMf4A

    • Discharge your battery to 25% or lower and power off your phone before you begin.

    • Heat an iOpener and apply it to the left edge of the cover for two minutes.

    • A hair dryer or heat gun 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 cover, as close to the center of the left edge as possible.

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

    • Insert an opening pick into the gap.
