Follow these 10 steps to complete your repair
Power Off the Device
Press and hold the power button on your Moto G4 until the power menu appears. Select 'Power Off' and wait until the device completely shuts down.
Remove the Back Cover and Battery
Use a plastic opening tool to gently pry off the back cover starting from one corner. Once the cover is removed, use your fingers to lift and remove the battery.
Detach All Screws
Use a Phillips #00 screwdriver to remove all visible screws securing the midframe. This includes screws around the perimeter and near the battery compartment.
Separate the Midframe
Using a spudger, carefully separate the midframe from the front assembly by undoing the clips around the edges. Be gentle to avoid damaging the clips.
Disconnect the Display Cable
Locate the display cable connector and use a spudger to gently pry it up from the motherboard. Be careful not to damage the connector.
Heat the Display Adhesive
Use a heat gun or hairdryer to apply heat evenly around the edges of the screen to soften the adhesive. Be cautious to not overheat the device.
Remove the Broken Screen
Place a suction cup on the screen to lift it slightly, then insert a plastic opening tool to pry the screen away from the frame. Work around the edges until the screen is fully detached.
Install the New Screen
Align the new screen with the frame and press it into place. Reconnect the display cable to the motherboard.
Reassemble the Device
Reattach the midframe by pressing it into place and securing all screws. Reinsert the battery and snap the back cover onto the device.
Test the New Screen
Power on your Moto G4 to ensure the new screen is functioning correctly. Check for touch responsiveness and display clarity.
