Einleitung

Nutze diese Anleitung, um einen defekten oder schwachen Akku im Motorola Moto Z Force Droid auszutauschen.

Entlade aus Sicherheitsgründen den zu entfernenden Akku auf unter 25% bevor du das Gerät auseinanderbaust. Dies verringert das Risiko einer Explosion oder Überhitzung, falls der Akku während der Reparatur perforiert oder beschädigt wird.

Wenn dein Akku aufgebläht ist, dann treffe entsprechende Vorsichtsmaßnahmen.

  1. AjRocAbWkFxAtIyY

    • Lege einen erwärmten iOpener fünf Minuten lang auf den unteren Bereich der rückseitigen Glasscheibe.

    • Die Scheibe ist sehr widerspenstig. Du musst vermutlich den iOpener mehrfach erwärmen und neu auflegen, bis die Scheibe warm genug ist. Beachte die Anleitung für den iOpener um Überhitzung zu vermeiden.

    • Ein Haartrockner, ein Heißluftgebläse oder eine Heizplatte können auch funktionieren. Sei aber vorsichtig und überhitze das Smartphone nicht. Das Display und der Akku sind sehr hitzeempfindlich.

    I was unable to get the iOpener to heat the glass panes hot enough to loosen the glue. I was able to use a heat gun. Just heat it on low setting for about 1.5 min. (Any longer and you risk damaging the phone.

    Kimball Marston -

    I heated the iOpener several times to no avail. Then when i switched from the pick to a box cutter (see my comment on next step) it turned out that the glue WAS heated enough.

    Michael Roland -

    I agree with the heat gun. Only needed to use it on low for a few seconds.  iOpener did not work, ended up using an exacto knife and heat gun after breaking the bottom glass. Found the replacement glass on Amazon for 6.99 for both pieces.

    zx12bullet -

    I did this with the iOpener, about 45 seconds on a 1200W+ microwave. The mistake I made was not realizing how thin the glass is. Think paper thin. You do not have to dig far to get into it. I did peel off a protective outer plastic that was on both of mine. Shattered the top one, learned, bottom one came out without issues.

    Paul Porter -

    The iOpener was completely useless. use he heat gun as suggested above.

    Patrick Connerney -

    Before you start, get some 91% Isopropyl Alcohol from the drug store, find an 1800 watt hair dryer and a box cutter blade, and order the replacement glass pieces from ebay or amazon. Once you have it all, put some alcohol on the edges, wait a couple of minutes, heat the glass for 30-60 sec with the hair dryer, and bulldoze the glass pieces with the blade and spudger. Unless you value your time at less than $7/hr, you’ll be happy you didn’t bother trying the 1% chance to save the original glass.

    • Setze ein Plektrum in den schmalen Spalt zwischen Rückgehäuse und Glasscheibe ein.

    • Der Spalt zwischen Scheibe und Rahmen ist sehr eng, es kann daher hilfreich sein, das Plektrum vor- und zurück zu ruckeln, während du es hineinschiebst. Du kannst auch mit einer dünnen Klinge oder einem metallenen Hebelwerkzeug die Scheibe etwas anheben, bevor du das Plektrum weiterschiebst. Arbeite langsam und beschädige nicht das Glas.

    • Wenn du Schwierigkeiten hast, das Plektrum einzusetzen, dann gehe einen Schritt zurück und erwärme die Scheibe erneut. Du brauchst schon recht viel Wärme, um die Scheibe zu lösen, vermeide es aber, den mittleren Bereich des Smartphones zu erhitzen, wo sich der Akku befindet.

    • Auch einige Tropfen Isopropylalkohol (mehr als 90%ig) an den Kanten der Scheibe können beim Ablösen helfen.

    • Heble nicht um die Ladebuchse herum. Sie ist von einem Kunstoffteil eingerahmt, das dabei beschädigt werden könnte.

    • Heble mit der Spitze des Plektrums unter der Glasscheibe vorsichtig nach oben, um die Scheibe und das Rückgehäuse ein wenig voneinander zu trennen.

    The opening picks are too thick and weak to accomplish this step. Plan on breaking the glass with a knife and replacing it with new glass from ebay. Search Dogxiong For Motorola Moto Z/Moto Z Force Black Back Rear Battery Housing Top if the following link doesn’t work: https://www.ebay.com/i/123308522723?chn=...

    Mike Thompson -

    This step was a challenge. The picks are quite thick. I ended up using a box cutter knife to carefully separate one corner. Then I used one of the picks to complete this procedure. Once I realized that this worked, I breathed a sigh of relief. Then I did the same thing for steps 5 & 6.

    Michael Roland -

    Agreed. There’s no way I could have done this without a heat gun, a ton of patience, and a really, really thin flat screw driver bit from my iFixit tool pack. I think it was the 1.3.

    bennettr8 -

    I used a single edge razor blade in a holder. This worked much better then trying to get a pick inserted. Also, you really have to get the panel warm to heat up the glue enough to break it loose.

    Donald Whitaker -

    I managed to remove the remove the panel without a heat gun, but I did carefully use a square end hobby knife blade to life the glass far enough to insert the pick. The adhesive is across the entire panel, so it does not feel like it is lifting correctly as only the local area will actually lift.

    David Small -

    IO found the Jimmy from my iFixit tool kit worked well with the iOpener and letting the opener sit for about 10 minutes then using a pick to keep the glass separated.

    Dave Johnson -

    Heat gun & Metal Putty knife will be your best friend. Use a lot of patience and not strength

    Dan B -

    iOpener then blow dryer. Used tweezers to lift the paper thin glass. Once I got movement I shoved the pick in to cut the rest of the glue.

    If you use a back cover like me, don't worry about scratching these glass panels. They're entirely pointless and not visible to be honest.

    Took maybe an hour to get through this part.

    Alvin Liu -

    Agreed. Hope you play guitar…because these picks are worthless for anything else. Use an exacto knife or razor blades of some sort.

    Chad Albertson -

    Boxcutter blade, hair dryer, and just bust the glass off. Not worth trying to save!

    • Schiebe das Plektrum zwischen Scheibe und Rückgehäuse.

    • Schiebe das Plektrum die ganze Länge der Scheibe entlang, um die Klebeverbindung zum Rückgehäuse aufzutrennen.

    The entire underside of the panel has adhesive to all the edges.

    David Small -

    I used the heat gun and it worked great.

    • Heble vorsichtig die Scheibe mit dem Plektrum hoch.

    • Entferne die Glasscheibe.

  5. ePeHsUrfwSADBUUk

    • Wiederhole die vorherigen vier Schritte (Erhitzen und Ablösen) für die obere Glasscheibe.

    • Beim Zusammenbau musst du alle Klebstoffreste von den Scheiben und dem Rückgehäuse entfernen. Reinige dann die Klebeflächen mit hochkonzentriertem Isopropylalkohol (mehr als 90%ig) und einem fusselfreien Tuch. So kann der Kleber wieder gut haften.

    • Befestige die Scheiben mit vorgestanzten Klebestreifen oder doppelseitigem Klebeband.

    When cleaning the Glass Panes, DO NOT use metal tools, This will scrape the paint off of the back of the glass and damage the glass. Use of Alcohol helps loosen and remove the glue. I used a small plastic scraper and alcohol. Just takes a little bit of time.

    Kimball Marston -

    I was unable to remove the top one with the tools provided. I ended up breaking the glass and had to take it piece by piece. It depends the age of the phone and how strong the adhesive was. You can buy replacements on eBay or Amazon ( https://www.amazon.com/Dogxiong-Battery-... ). I bought it while I was fixing the phone since I broke the glass.

    Charlie Gates -

    The upper glass panel proved to be more tricky. The previous square end hobby knife blade kept breaking, so I had to get a new regular hobby knife blade, which still broke, but managed to pry the panel up enough to get the other blade and eventually the pick in it. Wear safety glasses when prying with a metal blade  The entire panel has adhesive, but the right side when viewed in the above photo has less, so it should be easier to lift. Additional examination of the adhesive reveals that there is a small spot in the corner that does not have any adhesive, presumably to aid with disassembly.

    David Small -

    Got it off but it is all broken up, The top is definitely better adhered than the bottom.

    Dave Johnson -

    SO MUCH ADHESIVE!! Just break it off and get replacement glass for $7.

    Udo Dirkschneider -

    I was unable to get the adhesive off without breaking it using the iopener, but a heat gun did the trick real fast. would definitely recommend over the iopener

    • Entferne die sechs 4 mm Torx T3 Schrauben, mit denen die Displayeinheit befestigt ist.

    Why did they give me a T5 when it clearly states a T3?

    Good thing I had their other tool kit with all of the bits.

    Dave Johnson -

    what do you do if one of the Torx screw heads falls apart so you can’t turn the screw?

    Dave Johnson -

    I ground the head off with a very small Dremel grinding tip. I wil find out if I created any new problems when I connect the new battery. Not even sure the battery is the problem. My daughters phone just stopped working and wouldn’t turn on even when plugged in.

    I guess if the battery isn’t the problem, then I cna’t make it any worse.

    Dave Johnson -

    I ordered the sjtek kit:

    “Motorola Moto Z Force Droid XLTE XT1650-02 Screen Replacement LCD Display Touch Screen Digitizer Glass Assembly Parts 5.5" AMOLED Black with Frame”

    It came with the wrong sized screwdriver as the previous poster described. By the time I could tell something was wrong with the screwdriver, I had two stripped screw heads. Don’t order this kit unless you have your own set of phone repair tools

    Evan Bossonis -

    @ewb62 The iFixit kit includes both the T3 and T5 driver bits—however, the T3 is commonly packed in the parts tray, rather than the tools tray with the other driver bits. Check the entire package carefully and you should find it. If not, contact customer support so they can ship the missing bit out to you ASAP. Sorry for the confusion!

    Jeff Suovanen -

    I have the T5!!! Where's the T3??? Unbelievable.

    Kimberly Schroeder -

    Never mind. I ordered the wrong kit. The Z force has the 4 bits

    • Setze die Spudgerspitze in das Loch in der rechten unteren Ecke des Rückgehäuses ein.

    • Drücke den Spudger in das Loch hinein, um so das Display vom Rückgehäuse zu lösen.

    Expect to bend the end of the spudger as the adhesive holding the display on is rather strong.

    • Halte mit dem Finger den Spalt zwischen Displayeinheit und Rückgehäuse offen und entferne den Spudger.

    • Setze dann das flache Ende des Spudgers in den Spalt zwischen dem Rückgehäuse und der Displayeinheit ein.

    Due to the display being hard to move, I push it far enough with the spudger until I was able to insert a pick to hold it while I shifted the spudger.

    David Small -

    I broke the display and had to buy another one because I didn't realize this part is 3- layered. I accidentally separated the glass from the digitizer. : ( so make sure you pop out the entire thicknesses with the spudger before you try lifting it away from the phone.

    If it is being difficult, confirm that you have removed all 6 (SIX) screws. This is from personal experience.

    Charlie Gates -

    BECAREFUL twisting the spudger. You need to be right on the clip. If you are too far away from the clip you will crack the LCD screen from the inside (happened to me and ended up having to buy a new screen). I found a video where it shows working one of the picks all the way around the screen first to separate the glue / sealant that is used FIRST. then you can locate the clips easier Prying after all the glue is worked loose make it sperate a lot easier.

    HINT - The clip on the button side is not in the middle of the side it is slightly higher towards the Power button. The left side (no buttons) the clip is directly in the middle of the side.

    zx12bullet -

    I recommend moving the supdges slowly to let the adhesive separate on its own.

    • Wiederhole dieses Verfahren des Trennens und Hebelns an der anderen Seite des Smartphones.

    • Auf jeder Seite des Smartphones gibt es eine Raste. Achte darauf, dass beide gelöst sind, bevor du weitermachst.

    • Achte darauf, die Unterkante des Displays nicht mehr als 13 mm vom Rückgehäuse zu entfernen. Das Displaykabel ist immer noch verbunden und kann beschädigt werden, wenn die Unterseite zu weit geöffnet wird.

    On this side, I got the spudger 1/2 way up, and it wouldn’t give. I wound up working around from the other side, then down from the top to finally release it. It felt like the tension was released after everything else came out, and it popped right out. jml.

    James Lang -

    Clips are a broad term. No pictures of what to release and how. Ruined digitizer following these instructions.

    • Kippe die obere rechte Ecke des Displays nach unten, um eine der Laschen auszuklinken, die das Display oben festhalten.

    • Kippe als nächstes die andere Ecke nach unten, um die andere Lasche auszuklinken.

    • Das Displaykabel ist immer noch angeschlossen und kann beschädigt werden, wenn das Display zu viel bewegt wird. Sei vorsichtig beim Kippen und halte an, wenn du größeren Widerstand bemerkst.

    I still don’t know how this was supposed to work, but there is some adhesive along the top. I used the pick to wiggle the top out and then proceed. Another site advised more heat in this area to loosen the adhesive. I didn’t need to.

    bennettr8 -

    I also agree with this. I just kept shaking things until it loosened. Getting it back on was just as a struggle and took some forcing.

    Charlie Gates -

    The tabs are two small bumps that are located roughly at either end of the speaker. Careful prying with the pick may help, but make sure you do not over extend the bottom of the display.

    David Small -

    On reassembly, not that the camera under the display may be loose. Putting some pressure on the speaker while pressing up on the display should cause the top tabs to snap back in.

    David Small -

    I snapped the tab located on the right of the screen. This step might be the trickiest because it’s not clear how to wiggle and budge this screen to open like a book. Fortunately the screen was still functional

    Dan B -

    I found the previous step wasn’t clear enough about prying the screen past the midway point once you get to those 2 side tabs. I used the pick to keep separating the screen past those side tabs up until I reached the top corners. Then I laid the phone down, screen side up. I held onto the metal frame with one hand, and with my other hand I grasped the screen near the bottom side (by the fingerprint reader) and gently wriggled the screen left and right, with slight pressure in the direction of the fingerprint reader, and a little torque in the direction of opening in the “book” layout shown above. Voila! Opened like a charm.

    • Hebe die rechte Kante des Displays an und schlage es auf wie eine Buchseite, aber nicht mehr als 45°.

    • Hebe das Display vorsichtig etwas an, um die Raste an der Kante des Rückgehäuses zu lösen, wobei du den 45° Winkel beibehalten musst.

    • Lege das Display auf die Tischplatte hinter dem Smartphone ab und öffne es bis auf 90°, so dass du an das Displaykabel herankommen kannst.

    Note that there are several strips of glue along the edges of the display which will need to be reapplied during reassembly.

    Kimball Marston -

    During reassembly (once you have put the display cable back into its socket), I recommend plugging the charger cable into the phone for a few seconds to see if you see the lightening bolt (charging indicator) on the front panel. This will allow you to be certain that, both, the battery and display connectors have been properly and securely connected.

    • Hebe den Displaykabelstecker mit dem flachen Ende des Spudgers aus seinem Anschluss heraus.

    • Heble nur am Displaystecker und nicht am Anschluss auf der Hauptplatine.

    • Wenn du beim Zusammenbau hier angelangt bist und das Display angeschlossen ist, dann schaltet das Smartphone ein und überprüfe alle Display-Funktionen. Wenn alles in Ordnung ist, dann schaltet das Smartphone wieder aus und fahre mit dem Zusammenbau fort.

    • Wenn es nicht funktioniert, dann überprüfe nochmals, ob alles korrekt zusammengebaut ist, und ob die Stecker sauber sind. Unser Forum hilft dir bei der Fehlersuche.

    Note that the ribbon cable has adhesive beside the connector.

    David Small -

    When it is plugged into power on reassembly, it should show a lightening bolt. If it shows the restart screen, likely the battery was not connected correctly.

    David Small -

    • Entferne das Display.

    • Wenn du beim Zusammenbau die Klebestreifen am Display ersetzen willst, dann schabe zuerst mit einem Spudger alle Klebstoffreste ab und reinige die Klebeflächen mit etwas hochkonzentriertem Isopropylalkohol (mindestens 90%ig) und einem fusselfreien Tuch.

    • Bringe an den Bereichen wo der alte Kleber war einen dünnen gut haftenden Klebestreifen an, wie etwa den 1 mm Tesa 61395, oder einen vorgestanzten Klebestreifen.

    • Wenn du eine neue Displayeinheit einbaust, dann schaue dir genau an, wo die Klebestellen am alten Display waren und befestige die Klebestreifen in gleicher Weise am neuen Ersatzteil.

    Someone way more delicate than me may be able to remove this tape without ripping it, but I would love to meet that person and verify they are working on a phone that is more than a few days old. the tape on my phone was glued way too much to get it to peel without ripping. Order more tape.

    bennettr8 -

    I personally gave up on the tape. I’m not delicate, that much became clear. But really, of all the things, I’d rather just replace the tape.

    Ian Unger -

    I ripped the tape as well, but was able to use it again (hopefully). I don’t know if it completed a circuit or not but we will see how important it is.

    Charlie Gates -

    By warming the tape with the iOpener, using the tweasers to start lifting it at the corner with the black triangle, and then using my hand to pull it, I was able to remove the tape in mostly one piece.

    David Small -

    Does anyone know what this type of tape is? I’m trying to find some to order as replacement.

    Thanks!

    • In den folgenden Schritten wirst du den Akku nur anheben, nicht komplett entfernen, denn er ist immer noch mit der Hauptplatine verbunden.

    • Benutze eine Pinzette, um vorsichtig die Zuglasche des Akkus anzuheben bis du ihn greifen kannst.

    • Nutze nun deine Finger, um an der Akkulasche zu ziehen und den Akku aus dem Telefon herauszuheben.

    • Wenn sich der Akku schwer lösen lässt, ist es hilfreich, ein wenig hoch konzentrierten Isopropanol Alkohol (90% oder mehr) oder Klebstoffentferner unter den Akku zu träufeln.

    • Wenn die Akkulasche reissen sollte, nimm das flache Ende eines Spudgers oder eine alte Kreditkarte, um vorsichtig die Kanten des Akkus anzuheben bis er sich löst.

    • Der Akku kann Feuer fangen und/oder explodieren wenn er beschädigt wird, sei also extrem vorsichtig.

    • Baue niemals einen defekten oder verformten Akku ein. Ersetze den Akku.

    The spudger will be your best friend in this, especially if your adhesive has become the devil.

    Ian Unger -

    I agree with the above comment. My battery came out bent after trying to pry it so much.

    • Entferne den Akku.

    • Bevor du den neuen Akku einbaust, entferne jegliche Kleberreste und säubere die verklebten Bereiche mit Isopropanol Alkohol und einem fusselfreien Tuch.

    • Benutze ein paar Streifen vorgeschnittenes Klebeband oder dünnes doppelseitiges Klebeband, wie Tesa 61395, um den neuen Akku zu befestigen.

    It is a good idea to reconnect the Display and check to see if the battery will charge and the system turns on prior to reassembly. This makes sure that your battery connection is good and that your display connection is good. You don’t want to reassemble the phone only to find out your battery connection isn’t good. Just note that the speakers only work once the display is in place and is making contact with the back board. Testing the battery and display may warrant being another step or section.

    Kimball Marston -

    totally failed. The display cable is ripped. Very Frustrated!

    John Rovetto -

    The second piece of black tape on the battery will be ripped when removed as it goes under the PCB.

    David Small -

    That happened to me as well. It was only after I tore it that I realised that I could have simply carefully peeled it off the battery first and avoided tearing it, or at least avoided tearing it completely.

    Aaron -

    I found the easiest way to remove adhesive was to use a plastic spudger as an applicator for 91% isopropyl alcohol. Then, I would use the spudger to scrape the adhesive off. Applying the alcohol to it as needed before hand loosened it considerably and it would come off relatively easily as a black goo. I also found that dipping the spudger in alcohol before and as needed while scraping helped accelerate what is admittedly a tedious process. Small, loose parts such as the battery connector cover can simply be soaked in alcohol to loosen the adhesive before scraping it off with a spudger.

Other than some comments I made above, this description was perfect!

bennettr8 -

You mention discharging the battery below 25%, but my battery is at the point where it shuts off within 30 seconds if it isn’t plugged into a power source. The charge percentage on my phone always hovers just below 100% if plugged in, but if I unplug it and try to turn it on several times without an adequate power source that percentage can vary wildly. Should I just assume at this point that if it isn’t plugged in and has shut off on its own, it’s discharged?

greg samerson -

Hi Greg, if the phone shuts off on its own, it’s usually safe to assume the battery is drained below 25%. It sounds like there’s a problem with the control board on your battery causing a faulty capacity reading. As always, be careful not to bend or puncture the battery. Discharging the battery is a precaution to prevent a thermal event if the battery is punctured, but the best safety measure you can take is to just handle the battery carefully. Good luck on your repair!

Adam O'Camb -

Only issue I ran into, and no fault of the author, was the little glass top panel. Cracked it to oblivion with one slip. But ebay has replacements for $9 for the set, so can’t complain. The rest of the description was FANTASTIC and got me through the installation with no problem. Took and hour total. Thank you!

Ian Unger -

The user comments greatly expanded the already decent instructions; READ THEM! IMHO, just buy the back glass beforehand. Once I broke the bottom one and ordered replacements, the job moved right along. I took about 1:45, most of which I spent heating those two stupid little pieces of glass.

LARRY FLETCHER -

Great instructions. Took 2 full hours but had problem with one of the 6 screws stripped head, had to drill it out, yuck. Besides that, this requires considerable patience and dexterity, but it does work. Just take your time and take a breather part way through to keep from stressing and messing it up.

ky ky -

Instructions were perfect but I wish they would also go through the reassembly and talk about how much adhesive is needed and the best way to cut and place it.

Richard Veach -

I’ve got a Moto z force droid here that was drawing no power, replaced the battery and I’m getting a fairly steady 0.25 A draw. I have tried another replacement battery and have the same issue. Just looking for data recovery from this device, any ideas anyone?

Steve Noah -

From start to finish, this is definitely not an easy DIY. It will probably take at 2 hours to attempt this. This is a great tutorial to see what's ahead. If you get impatient or frustrated, walk away and try again later. There's so many risks for bringing your phone at each step. Make sure to have a super thin metal putty knife to lift the top and bottom glass pieces

Dan B -

Great instructions! I ran into issues with the adhesive that was previously applied. My device was refurbished, the screen and battery dates didn’t match(over a year apart), and 1 of the 6 screws were missing. The hardest part was getting the top and bottom panels off. Just use and reuse the iOpener many many times! The heat helps a lot Also be sure to apply some adhesive to the display cable connector or it might disconnect from the board when you’re moving the screen back into place.

Darryl -

I replaced the battery in my Moto Z force, but now it will not charge and reports low battery temperature -32. What did I do wrong?

Sandy D -

Hi Sandy,

Check and re-seat the battery connector. If you still have your original battery, temporarily re-connect it and see if the issue persists. If it does, you may have received a defective replacement battery.

Arthur Shi -

I have a Moto Z Force 2 from T-Mobile. The battery swole the screen off back in mid 2019. I’ve ordered 2 replacement batteries that only work if I physically hold them in place. The moment I let go the connector unseats itself. I addition I’ve lost the little plastic piece that holds the battery down, not that it helped it all with the problem. the moment I would try to place the screen back on, it would disconnect and not start.

It was a nice phone while it lasted, To bad that was only 1 1/2 years. I only went with it because of the promise of the Force physical keyboard add one. That was of course sabotaged my Motorola.

I will never again buy a phone I can’t replace the battery one. A battery that holds a charge for days, is no replacement for one that can be replaced for years.
