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

Werkzeuge

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.

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.

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.
