Einleitung

This guide is for replacing the battery on a Motorola Moto G Power (2020) cellphone.

If you have been dealing with issues related to your phone holding a charge consistently, this guide will help breathe some new life into your phone with a new replacement battery!

This guide will walk you through the process of extracting all of the hardware necessary to replace the battery while also helping you to avoid any potential damage that occur.

*Some knowledge of technical terms for the inner hardware of electronics may be helpful.

*On step 8 pay careful attention as there is a risk of damage to your skin and clothing.

    • Place a suction cup on the back of the device.

    • Then open up the back of the device by sliding the opening pick into both sides of the phone.

    • Do not remove the back panel completely; you must disconnect the fingerprint sensor first.

    I am finding it extremely difficult to find an insertion point between the casing and the screen. I've even brought a Stanley No. 199 Utility knife into play. Still, no separation. These instructions should include the use of a heat gun to soften the adhesive that holds the case and screen together. I may have to bring this to a cell phone repair shop.

    Light heat with a blowdryer/heatgun will help it flex more, but you can do it this way. It's definitely challenging as you have to pull on the suction cup close to the edge and you might only get like .5mm of gap.

    If you don't have a good spudger or thin piicks like in the picture, heat gun is absolutely necessary.

    One thing to note: be careful with a spudger or prying near the right side of the phone. A small wire runs from top to bottom of the phone about 5mm past the phone edge. You can see it in the pictures, it's a black wire that's very tiny. It's easy to see in Step 7 where it connects to the board above the right corner of the battery.

    • Put pressure on the fingerprint sensor with your finger to detach it from the back panel.

    • You may have to use significant force to get the circular sensor off the panel.

  3. JmuULJFCOcDaiIIC
    • Completely remove the back panel from the device.

  4. VkO3KWkVeZkYEV1U
    • To access the fingerprint sensor, we need to remove the back cover.

    • First, use a T3 Screwdriver, and take out all 9 screws. (roughly 2.2mm Torx)

    • Using the spudger, lift up the cover.

    • You may need to leverage the spudger against the corner of the cover to lift it up.

    • Set the back cover aside.

    • DO NOT use excessive force when lifting up the back cover.

  6. 154NYTRJnCcXFifK
    • Using the spudger, carefully lift up the sensor cable to disconnect the fingerprint sensor from the logic board.

    • WARNING: Be careful when handling the sensor cable, it is easily damaged.

  7. g5MWjPvDaqnxYKEt
    • Remove the fingerprint sensor from the device and set it aside.

  8. JecmD1qkVPBiTUBE
    • If present, carefully remove the protective tape using a plastic spudger as shown, ensuring the delicate flex cable is not torn in the process.

    • Be careful to not puncture or bend the battery! If punctured it will violently combust, This is why we recommend discharging your device below 20% before beginning any repairs. Combustion could potentially cause damage to the device and your skin/clothing.

    • Use a plastic spudger or non-conductive tweezers to disconnect the battery cable from the motherboard.

    • Ensure the tweezers are not pointed or sharp. Be gentle to avoid tearing the flex cable. This could cause a short-circuit in the battery connector, or scratch and damage traces on the motherboard

    • Slide an opening pick under the battery and gently work it back and forth to separate the adhesive from the battery.

    • This adhesive is quite strong and will require careful attention to apply the correct amount of force to remove the battery without damaging it in the process. Be patient and take it slow.

  11. 6DMr6bEIr3DgRXbw
    • Remove the old battery and insert the replacement battery, connecting it to the motherboard.

    • (Optional) Two-sided tape can be used to secure the battery to the frame if the original adhesive isn't strong enough to keep the new battery in place also.

Abschluss

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order, excluding the battery removal, of course.

Oh and my finger print sensor even broke off too... I tried SOOOO HARD not to break the wire... but it moved less than a 1/2" away and had already split.....
DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE!!! - Now I have no fingerprint sensor, the phone is NO LONGER WATER PROOF, AND IT DOESN'T EVEN WORK RIGHT NOW!!!!! AAARRGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! :'(

How hard would it be for phone manufacturers to create a back cover to access battery for replacement...but NO, they make it as difficult as possible so they can make money selling new phones and/or sell repair services.
