  1. Motorola Moto G6 Screen Replacement, Remove the SIM Card Tray: étape 1, image 1 de 2 Motorola Moto G6 Screen Replacement, Remove the SIM Card Tray: étape 1, image 2 de 2
    • Insert a paperclip or SIM card eject tool into the small hole in the SIM card tray on the right side of the top edge of the phone.

    • Press the tool into the hole to eject the tray.

    • This may require a significant amount of force.

    • The ejection mechanism is deeper in this phone than others and may require a longer SIM card eject tool. If your tool isn't long enough to reach the mechanism, try using an unfolded paperclip instead.

    The sim card eject tool has snapped inside the ejector hole,is there another way to get the sim card out ?.

    Amanda Ashley - Réponse

    You can try to carefully push the snapped pin with another ejector tool to eject the tray. Otherwise, lightly tap the phone edge to try to get the snapped pin out.

    • Remove the SIM card tray.

    • When reinserting the SIM card, ensure that it is in the proper orientation relative to the tray.

  3. Motorola Moto G6 Screen Replacement, Remove the Rear Glass: étape 3, image 1 de 1
    • Power your phone off before you begin.

    • If possible, drain the battery before disassembly. When the battery is charged, there's an increased risk of a dangerous thermal event if the battery is overheated or damaged during repairs.

    • If the rear glass is cracked, completely cover it with packing tape to contain the glass shards and avoid injury.

    • Prepare an iOpener and heat the back of the phone along its bottom edge for about two minutes, or until it's slightly too hot to touch. This will help soften the adhesive securing the rear glass.

    • You may need to reheat and reapply the iOpener several times to get the phone warm enough. Follow the iOpener instructions to avoid overheating.

    • 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.

    At what temperature shold the glass be heated to? My heat gun goes from 250 up to 1350.

    Miles Raymond - Réponse

    START LOW.

    These plastics can be almost endlessly remelted, held at temp, etc., if done gently.

    With a heat gun, I'd hesitate to go too far past 250°F/115°C too quickly until I was comfortable with the material.

    Plastic WILL begin to burn and permanently deteriorate at 350-400°F or so.

    Silicone can handle up to 400-500°F.

    (Get a cast iron pot or pan to roughly 250°F/110°C, then invert and put a silicone cookie sheet on it to make a work surface that will make life waaaaaay easier. Preheat the device along with the pan for a few minutes, too.)

    • Apply a suction cup to the bottom edge of the rear glass.

    • Pull up on the suction cup with firm, constant pressure to create a slight gap between the rear glass and the frame.

    • If the glass is cracked, the suction cup may not stick. Try lifting it with strong tape, or superglue the suction cup in place and allow it to cure so you can proceed.

    • This may require a significant amount of force, but you only need to open a very slight gap with the suction cup to insert your tool.

    • If you have trouble, apply more heat to further soften the adhesive, and try again. The adhesive cools quickly, so you may need to heat it repeatedly.

    • Insert an opening pick into the gap you created under the rear glass.

    I'm stuck on this step (literally and figuratively). I've heated it pretty hot and pulled pretty hard on the suction cup, but I can't see a gap…

    I used a piece of laminating plastic instead of the pick and managed to slide it in!

    My back delaminated at this point. That is, the clear plastic started to come away leaving the paint layer behind. Mine is (was) the indigo blue one.

    • Slide the pick all along the bottom edge of the phone to slice through the adhesive securing the rear glass.

    • Slow down and slice very carefully as you get to the corners. The curved part of the glass along the left and right edges can crack very easily if the pick pushes up against the curved glass.

    • After being cut, the adhesive will sometimes stick back together as it cools. To prevent this you can leave the pick in this edge after cutting, and continue the next steps with a new pick. Repeat this with each edge, leaving a pick and continuing with a new one.

  6. Motorola Moto G6 Screen Replacement: étape 6, image 1 de 1
    • Heat the right edge of the back of the phone to soften the adhesive underneath.

  7. Motorola Moto G6 Screen Replacement: étape 7, image 1 de 3 Motorola Moto G6 Screen Replacement: étape 7, image 2 de 3 Motorola Moto G6 Screen Replacement: étape 7, image 3 de 3

    • If the glass remains stuck, re-heat and slice the adhesive repeatedly as needed.

    • Lift the rear glass carefully, making sure it's fully separated from any adhesive.

    • Remove the rear glass.

    • During reassembly, pause here to replace the adhesive on the rear glass using a precut adhesive card or high-strength double-sided adhesive tape, such as Tesa 61395.

    • After closing your device back up during reassembly, stack something heavy, like a textbook or two, on top of the device for 30-60 minutes. This ensures a strong adhesive bond.

    When cleaning old adhesive off the back glass, be careful not to scratch the inner coating of the glass. If you scratch this coating with tweezers, it will leave visible “nicks” on the back glass.

  13. Motorola Moto G6 Screen Replacement, Remove the Battery Tape: étape 13, image 1 de 2 Motorola Moto G6 Screen Replacement, Remove the Battery Tape: étape 13, image 2 de 2
    • Use a pair of tweezers to carefully peel up the black tape covering the battery.

    • Remove the tape.

    • If possible, keep the tape intact so it can be reused during reassembly.

    On my phone the sticker was covered by another NFC tag that was attached to the board under the cover. I yanked it out, breaking it in the process, but if you peel that sticker off the batter sticker first and leave it attached at the end, you should have more success.

    Stuart - Réponse

    Yes, there's the NFC tag that isn't mentioned, with its connection to the left. Thanks for the tip, Stuart; I gently lifted mine to the left and it seems to be intact. I guess I won't know until I try to pay for something.

  14. Motorola Moto G6 Screen Replacement, Remove the Plastic Cover: étape 14, image 1 de 1
    • Use a Phillips driver to remove seventeen screws securing the plastic cover:

    • Eleven grey 3 mm-long screws

    • Five black 2.5 mm-long screws

    • One silver 3.5 mm-long screw

    The holes for the black screws are marked with a small triangle to differentiate them from the holes for the gray ones. I found this super helpful when reassembling!

    • Insert the pointed end of a spudger into the notch at the top left edge of the plastic cover.

    • Pry up with the spudger to lift the upper edge of the cover and release the clips holding the cover down.

    • Remove the plastic cover.

    When reinstalling plastic cover, alignment is critical for underlying contacts to line up. Test all functions before sealing up the phone. If camera or speaker don’t work, recheck plastic cover installation and correct until all phone functions operate.

  16. Motorola Moto G6 Screen Replacement, Disconnect the Battery: étape 16, image 1 de 2 Motorola Moto G6 Screen Replacement, Disconnect the Battery: étape 16, image 2 de 2
    • Use the pointed end of a spudger to pry up the battery connector and disconnect it.

    • During reassembly, this is a good point to power on your phone and test all functions before sealing it up. Be sure to power your phone back down completely before you continue working.

    What is the black part the battery is connects to called? The black part connected to the body of the phone.

    Slippery Steve - Réponse

    Be very careful on this step! If you pry it out too roughly the connector will break. If you aren't very precise when putting the plug back in you will smash either the tiny tabs on the plug or the connector itself.

  17. Motorola Moto G6 Screen Replacement, Soften the Battery Adhesive: étape 17, image 1 de 1
    • Prepare an iOpener and apply it to the right half of the screen for at least two minutes, in order to soften the battery adhesive underneath. Reheat and reapply the iOpener as needed.

    • Be careful not to overheat the battery or display with the iOpener. If you notice the battery swelling at all, immediately remove any heat and let the battery cool down.

    • Alternatively, apply some isopropyl alcohol under each corner of the battery and allow it to penetrate for several minutes to help weaken the adhesive.

  18. Motorola Moto G6 Screen Replacement, Remove the Battery: étape 18, image 1 de 3 Motorola Moto G6 Screen Replacement, Remove the Battery: étape 18, image 2 de 3 Motorola Moto G6 Screen Replacement, Remove the Battery: étape 18, image 3 de 3
    • Use an opening pick to steadily pry the battery up, starting from the outer edge of the battery.

    • You may need to reheat and reapply the iOpener repeatedly to further soften the adhesive. The adhesive is tough and it may take a few tries to get the pick started under the battery. If the battery begins bend out of shape, apply more heat or isopropyl alcohol and pry slower.

    • Try your best not to deform the battery during this process. Soft-shell lithium-ion batteries can leak dangerous chemicals, catch fire, or even explode if damaged. Do not use excessive force or pry at the battery with metal tools.

    • Remove the battery.

    • Reinstalling a damaged or deformed battery is a safety hazard. Replace it with a new battery.

    • During reassembly, remove any remaining tape under the battery and clean any residual adhesive with isopropyl alcohol. If you are reusing the screen assembly, apply new precut battery adhesive or high-strength double-sided tape to the battery well before pressing the new battery into place.

    I found it easier to remove the battery after I removed the mother board.

hello does anyone knows what is the part number of the housing/bracket or gasket (not sure how to call it) that holds the powerr and volume bottom into place on moto g6play?

1nonly - Réponse

Nice instructions. I suggest adding that around step 24 or 25 removal of the rubber gasket/boot around the selfie camera be included. I didn’t see this anywhere in the instructions but found the part rolling around my table shortly after these steps. Also, as a general suggestion, and ice cube tray make organizing all the screws and little parts pretty easy.

Thanks for identifying the selfie gasket.

This can be done more quickly and easier by removing the front glass too. Then unplugging the 3 cables from the motherboard, and feeding your new screen cables through the front into the back.

I found it helpful to remove the motherboard first, then the battery, as it gave me more room to work when loosening the battery adhesive, and then reinstall the motherboard first to help with positioning the battery during reassembly.
