    • Remove the nineteen 3.1 mm T3 screws securing the midframe.

    A pair of binocular magnifiers is helpful here. Also, a magnetic pickup will help pull the tiny screws out of their counterbores.

    Well I'm stuck. 3 screw heads are stripped on mine, not lucky as they are two on USB port end and screw in-between two SIM slots. Phone bought new and this is 1st time screws have been touched, could see they were already stripped before getting screwdriver near them. Any tips on removing stripped screws?

    Hi Mark,

    I’m sorry to hear that! You can try some techniques from the stripped screw guide.

    I found that a T4 driver was the correct size for the screws.

    • Be very careful not to puncture the battery with any sharp tools. A damaged lithium-ion battery can catch fire and/or explode.

    • Peel up and remove the tape securing the battery wires.

    • Peel up and remove the black tape that bridges the battery and the phone.

    • While neither tape pieces are necessary for the operation of the phone, save them if they are in good condition for the reinstallation process.

    • Slip the point of a spudger underneath the red and black battery wires and gently pry straight up.

    • Do not pull the plug out, or you will tear the board socket out. Be careful where you pry. Do not pry against the board socket.

    • During reassembly, align the connector in its socket, then press straight down to reconnect it.

    • Peel the black pull tab from battery and pull slowly but firmly to separate the battery from the frame.

    • A few drops of high concentration (90% or higher) isopropyl alcohol along each side may help soften the adhesive.

    • If the pull tab breaks, use a spudger to gently pry around the edges of the battery until it comes loose.

    • Don't deform or puncture the battery—it can catch fire and/or explode if damaged.

    • Never reinstall a damaged or deformed battery. Replace the battery.

    Does anybody know, what the black tape covering the metal cans an the battey is made of? It seems to have a heat insulating effect.

    No, but the tape completely separated from itself when I removed it. Glue separated from the backing. I figure the glue in the frame is holding it well enough.

    I found prying the battery out was the trickiest part of this job. Take your time and pry with the plastic tool, working from the end away from the wires, but try not to deform the battery in the process. It does finally come out.

    John Fossey - Reply

    Hi, I cannot remove the Battery, it has too strong glue. Any Ideas?

    Regards

    You can try to drip some high concentration isopropyl alcohol along the battery edge to help loosen the adhesive.

    • To install a battery, orient the new battery such that the wires exit near the bottom of the phone, and the battery connector is on the motherboard side.

    • Clean off any adhesive residue which may prevent the battery from sitting flush against the frame. Use a few strips of adhesive included in the battery kit or some double-sided tape to secure the battery to the frame.

My moto g4 plus motherboard problems new motherboard price

Yogesh Yogu - Reply

My friend’s Moto G4 Plus seems to have a dead microphone. When she calls me, I can’t hear her, but she can hear me. She tried rebooting, but it did not help. She has had intermittent microphone problems with other calls, where they could hear her, but sound cut in and out.

I’m not seeing anything about microphone replacement. Is it on the motherboard, or maybe it’s part of the camera? Is there a fix for the microphone?
