Einleitung

Follow this guide to remove and replace the loudspeaker in your 2021 Motorola Moto G Play. This part doubles as a cover for the daughterboard. The actual speaker and flex cable are glued into the plastic cover, and cannot be separated.

    • 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.
