Introduction
Use this guide to remove or replace the motherboard on your Motorola Moto G7 Power.
Before you begin, download the Rescue and Smart Assistant app to backup your device and diagnose whether your problem is software or hardware related.
You’ll need some double-sided tape (such as Tesa tape) in order to adhere the replaced components.
For your safety, discharge the battery below 25% before disassembling your phone. This reduces the risk of a dangerous thermal event if the battery is accidentally damaged during the repair. If your battery is swollen, take appropriate precautions.
