Einleitung

Use this guide to remove and replace the battery in your 2022 Motorola Moto G Stylus 5G.

Schritt 1

Discharge your battery to 25% or lower and power off your phone before you begin.
Heat an iOpener and apply it to the edge of the back cover with the SIM card slot 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.

Schritt 2

Apply a suction cup to the back cover, as close to the center of the right 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.

Schritt 3

Slide your opening pick back and forth along the right edge to slice through the adhesive.
Leave the pick in at the bottom right corner to prevent the adhesive from resealing.

Schritt 4

Insert a second opening pick into the bottom right corner.
Slide this opening pick along the bottom edge to the bottom left corner to slice through the adhesive.
Leave the pick inserted to prevent the bottom edge from resealing.

Schritt 5

Insert a third opening pick into the bottom right corner.
Slide this opening pick along the left edge to slice the adhesive.
Don't worry about slicing under the camera bezel. It's separate from the back cover and will be removed later.
Leave the pick inserted in the top left corner to prevent the left edge from resealing.

Schritt 6

Insert a fourth pick into the top left corner.
Slide the pick to the top right corner to slice the top adhesive.

Schritt 7

Slide an opening pick between the camera bezel and the back cover.
The back cover's adhesive is particularly strong around the camera bezel.
Slide the opening pick around the camera bezel to separate the back cover from the frame.

Schritt 8

Grab and remove the back cover by lifting it away from the phone.
If your back cover is still sticking to the frame, slide the pick around the edges of the phone to slice through any remaining adhesive.
Reassembly notes:
To adhere the back cover with custom-cut adhesives, follow this guide.
To adhere the back cover with tape, follow this guide.

Schritt 9

Heat an iOpener and apply it to the camera bezel 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.

Schritt 10

Insert an opening pick under the camera bezel.
Slide the pick around the perimeter of the bezel to slice the adhesive.
If it feels stuck, apply more heat to further loosen the adhesive.

Schritt 11

Grab and remove the camera bezel.
Reassembly notes:
This is a good point to test your phone before sealing it up. Follow this guide to perform a hardware test. Be sure to power your phone back down completely before you continue working.
To adhere the camera bezel with custom-cut adhesives, follow this guide.
To adhere the camera bezel with tape, follow this guide.

Schritt 12

Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the eleven 4.1 mm-long screws securing the motherboard cover.
If you can't find all the screws, check under any leftover adhesive residue.

Schritt 13

Insert a spudger between the bottom right corner of the cover and the frame.
Pry up to release the clips securing the cover.
Slide the spudger toward the top of the cover and pry to release the right edge.

Schritt 14

Grip the right edge of the cover and pull it off the motherboard.

Schritt 15

Use the point of a spudger to pry up the battery's press connector.
When you disconnect connectors like these, be careful not to dislodge the small surface-mounted components surrounding the socket.
To re-attach press connectors, 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.

Schritt 16

Grab the graphite heat dispersion film covering the battery.
Lift and fold the film over the motherboard to expose the battery.

Schritt 17

Heat an iOpener and apply it to the left edge of the screen for about two minutes.
A hair dryer, heat gun, or hot plate may also be used, but be careful not to overheat the phone—the display and internal battery are both susceptible to heat damage.

Schritt 18

Additionally, you may use highly-concentrated isopropyl alcohol (over 90%) to further loosen the adhesive securing the battery.
Apply the isopropyl alcohol into the gaps between the sides of the battery and the frame.

Schritt 19

Place a suction handle on the center of the battery.
Insert an opening pick between the right edge of the battery and the frame.
Use a steady force to pull on the suction handle and simultaneously pry with the pick.
Don't use excessive force on the battery. Slow, consistent pressure is all that is required to free it from the frame.
Apply more heat or isopropyl alcohol if the battery re-adheres.

Schritt 20

Remove the battery from its recess.
Don't reinstall a damaged or deformed battery, as doing so is a potential safety hazard.
