🔧 Repair Overview
Logic Board Repair is one of the most common repairs for Motorola Moto G Stylus. This repair involves replacing the damaged logic component with a new or refurbished part. The process typically takes 3-6 hours and requires difficult skill level.
What You'll Need
- Replacement logic 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: Back Removal
Make sure the phone is powered off.
Apply heat to the back of the phone to loosen the adhesive. We use a blue heat mat but the heated iOpener works as well.
Step 2:
Start along the long edge of the phone and work a strong [product|IF145-101|plastic card] or opening pick underneath the back panel. A suction cup can be used to provide a little spacing to make it easier.
Carefully work the plastic card or pick along the edges of the phone. I recommend wearing gloves because the edge of the back panel are sharp and can cut a finger.
Apply pressure to the fingerprint reader while lifting slightly on the back panel. Once the adhesive starts to break loose you can use the plastic card to separate it from the back panel.
Step 3:
Remove the back panel taking care not to tear the fingerprint reader flex cable.
There will be adhesive on the back panel and the phone frame that will need to be removed.
I recommend applying tesa tape in the same pattern when reassembling the phone (if you don't have the precut back panel adhesive).
Step 4:
There are 9 T3 screws that have to be removed to gain access to the battery connector.
Once the screws are removed, use a plastic spudger to remove the logic board shield.
Lift up the black film and use a plastic tool to disconnect the battery flex from the logic board.
Step 5:
There are 6 T3 screws that need to be removed.
Once the screws are removed, use a plastic spudger to lift up the loud speaker assembly.
Step 6:
Disconnect the 2 antenna wires by gently lifting at the connection point.
Lift up on the charing port board from the top and gently press down on the flex cable that is sitting under it. Remove from the phone frame.
