Introduzione

Follow this guide to replace a cracked or damaged screen on the Motorola Moto E5.

This guide requires the removal of the battery. We recommend not re-using the old battery, as removing it can deform it slightly and potentially cause safety issues if you re-use it. Replace the battery along with the screen.

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.

Passo 2 Battery

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

Prepare an iOpener and heat the back of the phone along one edge for about two minutes, or until it's slightly too hot to touch. This will help soften the adhesive securing the back cover to the phone.
You may need to reheat and reapply the iOpener several times to get the phone warm enough to cut the adhesive. 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 internal battery is susceptible to heat damage.

Passo 3

Apply a suction handle to the back cover, near the middle of the edge you heated up.

Pull the suction cup with firm, constant pressure to create a slight gap between the phone's frame and the back cover.

Insert an opening pick into the gap.
