Introduction
Use this guide to remove the LCD and digitizer of your Motorola Moto E4 Plus (XT1771).
Before you begin, download the Rescue and Smart Assistant app to backup your device and diagnose whether your problem is software or hardware related.
Before disassembling your phone, discharge the battery below 25%. The battery can catch fire and/or explode if accidentally punctured, but the chances of that happening are much lower if discharged.
This guide replaces only the display while leaving the original frame, motherboard, and battery in place. Some replacement screens for this phone come pre-installed on a new frame (a.k.a. chassis), which requires following a very different procedure—transplanting your phone's internals and installing a new battery. Make sure you have the correct part before starting this guide.
You’ll need replacement adhesive to reattach components during reassembly.
What you need
-
-
Insert the edge of the spudger into the notch on the bottom right corner of the phone.
-
Twist the spudger to start releasing the back cover from the phone.
-
Slide the spudger along the bottom edge to separate the back cover from the phone.
-
-
-
Use the edge of a spudger to pry up and disconnect the battery flex cable from the motherboard.
-
-
-
-
Remove the single 2.9 mm Phillips screw holding the charging board to the frame.
-
-
-
Use a pair of tweezers to peel the copper tape from the right edge until the display flex cable underneath is fully exposed.
-
-
-
Prepare an iOpener and apply it to the display for at least two minutes to loosen the adhesive underneath.
-
-
-
Once the screen is warm to the touch, apply a suction cup near the top edge of the phone right under the earpiece speaker.
-
Pull up the suction cup, and insert the tip of an opening pick under the display where the earpiece speaker is located.
-
Slide the opening pick to the top left corner of the phone to cut the adhesive.
-
The best way to secure the new screen is with a sheet of custom-cut double-sided tape. Apply the tape to the back of the screen, then carefully feed the display cable through the frame. Align the screen and press it into place.
To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
If possible, turn on your phone and test your repair before installing new adhesive and resealing the phone.
