Vibration Motor Repair is one of the most common repairs for Motorola Edge Plus. This repair involves replacing the damaged haptic component with a new or refurbished part. The process typically takes 30 min - 1 hour and requires easy skill level.
🔧 Required Tools
🔩 Replacement Parts
What You'll Need
- Replacement haptic part (OEM or aftermarket)
- Precision screwdriver set (Phillips #000 or pentalobe)
- Opening tools (plastic spudger, suction cup)
- Adhesive strips or glue
- Clean workspace with good lighting
Step-by-Step Process
Step 1:
Use an iOpener or hair dryer to heat the perimeter of the back cover to loosen the adhesive beneath.
Insert the tip of an opening pick 2-3 mm into the seam between the back cover and chassis.
Slide the pick around the entire perimeter of the case to sever the adhesive, inserting additional opening picks periodically to prevent the back cover from resealing.
If the adhesive hardens as it cools, apply additional heat as needed.
Remove the back cover.
Step 2:
Before you begin, discharge your phone battery below 25%. A charged lithium-ion battery can catch fire and/or explode if accidentally punctured.
Remove the following T3 Torx screws:
Ten 6 mm silver screws
Six 5 mm black screws
Step 3:
Remove the daughterboard and motherboard covers.
Disconnect and remove the wireless charging coil.
Step 4:
Insert the flat edge of a spudger under the interconnect cable's motherboard press connector and lift it straight up to disconnect it.
Repeat for the interconnect cable's daughterboard connector.
Remove the internet cable.
Step 5:
Use the pointed end of a spudger to lift and disconnect the battery press connector.
If you're completing a camera replacement guide, skip to the beginning of that procedure. It's not necessary to remove the battery.
Step 6:
Apply a few drops of high-concentration isopropyl alcohol beneath the battery.
Tilt the phone to allow the alcohol to reach all of the adhesive.
Alternatively, lightly heat the battery with an iOpener or hairdryer.
Insert a spudger beneath the battery and gently pry the battery up and out of the chassis.
Do not bend, warp, or puncture the battery.
Remove the battery.
