Thanks! Doing a repair on my phone soon (same one obviously), so it's useful to know a bit about the layout and disassembly process.
You are amazing!
Thank You So Much!
Also, Thank You for explaining what the sub-modules do.
Very clear and concise.
Very well done Sir!
You're very welcome!
Thank you so much the last time I took apart my Motorola to fix it I couldn't find the repair adhesive to put the back back on.
Now I have another Motorola literally just broke the screen found your video and the link to everything I need thank you
You're welcome. You can also check mobilesentrix.com for parts if you need.
Wooow.Nice teardown video ❤️❤️
Thank you :)
@@PBKreviews please tear down other motorola Mobiles
Thanks for sharing, new sub 👍
Thank you! I appreciate it.
I really liked this video, not so much for repair purposes, but because you pointed out what the components are and where they were located. No other video i know of does that. One question though. You mentioned alcohol as a solvent. What about acetone? Would that damage anything? Also, I wonder why they have a moisture indicator inside? What's the point?
The moisture indicators are there to let you know if there's possible water damage to any components
I think it's to indicate if any water gets inside where the components are located, to ensure if the parts are damaged or not.
I got the cover off no prob with the help of your video..thx u. But I have a small issue?? The screws for the plastic camera coverplate only spin...they dont unscrew out...every one of them is like that? tried prying and turning at same time on a couple w/ no diff. they dont unscrew up? weird? Trying to get to my testpoints....How can i get them out?
Where to get the adhesive for the back cover?
Is there any way to jumpstart the power button if you're missing it for emergency purposes
Trying to replace charger port. I am usinga screw driver that fits but the screws only turn theu don't come out or even wobble. No matter how many times I turn or the direction
So good!
Thanks!
Thank you !
You're welcome!
May you make another video with this phone showing how to place/install the adhesive stripes, for holding the screen to the frame? Thank you very much.
Hi, here is a website for parts you may need for that model phone: www.mobiledefenders.com/catalogsearch/result/index/?cat=0&&q=moto+g+stylus+5g and here is a video on how to install adhesive: th-cam.com/video/T4iiPUIM7-Y/w-d-xo.html
Where is the EDL test points located at?
How would I replaced a shattered camera lens? Do I need to remove the back or is there an easier way? It's only the macro lens.
Hi, you can heat it up with a hair dryer and just peel off that broken lens cover to replace. Its held on with adhesive and doesn't require disassembling the phone. Here is a link to a replacement online: www.ebay.com/itm/265413370808?hash=item3dcbdea3b8:g:GbQAAOSwEGJiMmJu you can also search on mobiledefenders.com but it looks like they are out of stock on the macro one there : www.mobiledefenders.com/motorola-repair-parts/g-series/g-stylus-2021-xt2115.html?
My front carmera works but when i switch to rear the camera app crashes. What can i do to fix it?
what are the 2 wire cables for at 3:15? Also what is the function of the robon cable under the batter? Thanks.
That is what connects the charging port to the motherboard I believe. It was mentioned in another video.
One of the wires is an antenna wire. Not sure what the other one is for, possibly to link power between the boards?
Fantastic video! I will certainly review this again when I need to disassemble mine.
I just got a moto G Stylus 5G from a carrier. It only has 4 gigs RAM! Is there any way to feasibly increase the RAM?
Thanks! The ram is soldered onto the board. For an average end user would not be possible to change, only a professional with soldering would be able to de solder the ram and replace it.
Help mine keep looping and won't start without having to bang on the screen while holding power and up button what's the cause for this ty
Hi. I'm going to replace my phone's screen soon and have a question. What are the 2 adhesives you linked in the description for and what's the difference between them?
They are just different types of adhesive, both can be used to re adhere the back to the phone. However its always best to use the original pre cut adhesive made for the phone instead of those generic ones you need to cut down yourself. But for this phone, I can't seem to find just the pre cut adhesive for it listed online anymore, however you can order a battery door cover/backplate which comes with the adhesive pre installed, so you can apply it on easily. Here is a link for one: www.ebay.com/itm/145006170006
Hola amigo me podrías ayudar con mi moto g Stylus 5g y sucede que la pantalla no se ve pero si le das luz con cualquier lámpara se ven algunos letreros blancos como el talback como si la luz de la pantalla no jale pero en modo fastboot si se enciende y hasta hay una opción que te pone el IMEI y toda la pantalla en blanco no entra el modo recovery ni nada solo eso sabrás que problema tiene también le instale su firmware pero sigue igual
Thanks for the helpful video. One question though - you mention using a hairdryer/heat gun to loosen the glue. What temp? And how long does it take? Would be great to see that step too; but just that info would be helpful. Thanks!
Well...used a different plastic pry tool and got it started then used the plastic picks to finish the job. Unfortunately...there's probably a bit too much corrosion (took a swim with me for 1 hour; it's been sitting in a bag of rice the last week, but still wet inside; most visible corrosion was under the fingerprint reader and the center screw on the speaker assembly) for me to salvage it - at least with my experience level of working on these; I'll probably let it dry out and try assembly, but it's probably going to be a backup device now if I do recover it. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
For the heat, just enough to be hot to the touch and you apply more heat as needed while working on prying it off. As for water damage, use a small brush like a tooth brush to brush off any corrosion around chips or connectors. Also let it dry out. Then re assemble and see if it works. If not, you can swap out parts like battery, screen etc to see which part may be faulty. If its the board then you're probably out of luck.
Very clear explanation. Thx.
The stylus in 2 of my phones has broken off inside the storage port. One phone was replaced by insurance. I'd like to remove the broken stylus myself this time. Do you have a video for that?
You're welcome. You would just need to pry the back plate/cover off and then pry off the cover over the stylus enclosure to gain access to removing the broken stylus.
Cool
My Bluetooth and wifi are not working, can u indicate where on the board I should look to fix this problem??
They are doing it just like Samsung if the charging port is damage at least it's not soldered to the motherboard it's connected via flex cable easy to repair very good 👍
👍
whats the clear camera lens cover made of glass or plastic? and the website says this has no compass but it shows up in programs...
Original one is glass.
I changed the charging port on my phone due to salt water corrosion damage on phone plug but still does not charge. North he phone light at upper right corner blinks. Before the phone’s battery died the phone worked fine.
I'm not sure if you will get this comment notification but is the power button replaceable if I've totally dug it out....lol. turned it on with a foreign object for too long and now it wont power up. I've also tried several ways to boot it up but nothing works. Am I going to have to replace the whole screen?
You probably wore out the clicker on the flex cable. So you would need to replace the power button flex cable as well as the power button itself. However, it does require prying off the screen which poses a high chance of damaging it. You can attempt it before going the route of replacing the screen assembly combo with button etc. You would need to apply heat with a hair dryer to loosen the adhesive under the screen, and use a suction cup tool to gain leverage and get a thin pry tool in between the screen n frame to work your way around prying it off. But careful not to go to deep or you will damage the screen. You can use b7000 glue to re adhere the screen to the frame. Here is a link for parts for this phone if you need: www.mobilesentrix.com/replacement-parts/motorola/g-series/moto-g-stylus-5g-xt2131-2021
My Moto phone fell inside the toilet and the repair person has been doing trial and error with it. First he said to get a new screen but that did not work. Now he says I would have to request for a new board.
The phone is clearly turned on (Rapidly shaking it still turns on the flashlight, It still vibrates when I plug it in, and my nightly alarm still rings) What do i do?
Does that mean - once a Sylus 5G phone gets wet --- it's toast, unless you change the parts inside?
Do you know if there is another phone that supports the same type of ribbon cable for the display? I just need to view the screen and don’t want to replace the whole thing.
I'm not sure what other phone uses this display or cable.
my phone and i took a dip in the river,. all is dry and well aside from light condensation between camera lenses and lense covers,. would i just remove the top cover and dry in between and reassemble, use as is til it dries, or buy a new phone? never did anything like this before myself,. thank you!!
Hi, if there is any water or moisture inside, its best to turn it off and not attempt to use it until you can take it apart and dry/clean out any water or moisture inside since it can cause a short and damage the parts rendering them not usable. Once you take it apart and clean off any water, you need to use a small brush like a tooth brush and brush off any corrosion on components or connectors. Then re assemble the phone and continue to use it :)
Thanks!! Could you please disassembly a Moto G100?
You're welcome. Yes should have it done hopefully tomorrow.
What's the name of that blue plastic "tool"? Your voice is deep and audio not so clear, and you talk so fast. Just tried watching three times. Thank you for making this, BTW! Best!
Thanks. It's called a Pry Pick. Pretty much a guitar pick. You can find them on Amazon and ebay etc. I believe I have a link for it in the description. Also original replacement parts for this phone can be found on mobiledefenders.com
i can't open my cellphone moto g stylo 5g with your steps being shown, as it was too pretty tight.
Tray for simple how to get when it's broken sim
What is the small hole on the top of the phone? I was thinking it was for the sim card and kept pressing on it with the sim tool.
Did I damage anything?
It's the secondary microphone, your phone comes with two microphones, one at the bottom next to the charger port and one at the top. The simcard injector is right next to the sim card tray.
Can the stylus chamber be accessed to remove a broken stylus once the back panel is removed🤔
yes, once the back plate is removed, the plastic cover over the stylus chamber is held down with adhesive. You need to heat that up also and pry it off then you will have access to removing the broken stylus.
@@PBKreviews Thank You 👍🏽
@@lt5550 you're welcome
Any tips for the sound? My phone at the bottom got dropped in pudding. The pen and every still works but the sound is all the way up and it's just high pitch sounds if I cover the holes it sounds better.
What can I do?
You would need to take the phone apart and replace the filter covering the holes on the inside of the frame for the bottom speaker, and see if it helps. If the speaker itself has gotten damaged, that would need to be replaced as well. Not sure if they sell the filter replacements though, so you might need to find some sort of mesh filter to use. Here is a link for some of the parts for the phone (keep in mind you would need the G Stylus 5G parts and not the G stylus if your phone is the one from this video): www.mobiledefenders.com/motorola-repair-parts/g-series/g-stylus-2021-xt2115.html?
@@PBKreviews thanks so much.
What is the cricket model number there is like 2 styles of screen replacements on eBay
The moto g stylus 5G model number is XT2131.
I have a cracked screen everything still works just cracked glass but can not find screen replacement. Please help video does not show is I can replace the glass or if the whole lcd needs to be replaced. Can I get part numbers. Please help
You will need to replace the entire screen. This is the only website I found: xcellparts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=734_3452&products_id=10485
Omg thank you keep up the great work
is it possible to replace the screen without fully taking it apart? also is it possible to transfer the screen from a moto g stylus to the 5g model
Yes,
You need to:
- Take the back shell off and the battery out (the video ribbon cable feeds though a small opening behind the battery).
- Remove the front glass screen.
I found that removing the back shell, battery and glass screen was difficult due to the glue holding them in place.
You'll need to apply heat to the perimeter of them and use a fine flat tool to pry them out.
It's not easy, take your time.
I had to break a small corner of the glass screen so I could pry it out.
Also, I'd recommend removing all of the old glue and apply some new glue (T-7000).
One more thing, make sure that your new screen works by installing it and the battery cable.
Any luck finding a replacement glass for this phone? Also do you have to replace the whole screen or just the glass? Thank you for your time.
There is this site I found but have not bought from them before: xcellparts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=734_3452&products_id=10485 . Also you would need to replace the complete screen assembly.
Is it easy to replace the phone camera lens ? Mines is broken after a fall.
You can heat it up and pry the glass camera lens cover off. Here is a website for the original parts. make sure to match the model number (XT2131 for the g stylus 5g) : www.mobiledefenders.com/motorola-repair-parts/g-series/g-stylus-2021-xt2115.html?
@@PBKreviews thank you!
how does the notification led work it literally only works when i charge the phone lol
How do I get my stylus pen out? It got stuck yesterday. Also the tip broke before that. I haven't even had the phone 2 months yet.
You would need to pry off the back plate, then peel off the plastic cover that is covering the stylus housing and you would be able to remove it.
@@PBKreviews Could you do a video on how to do this🤔 I'm having the same problem at this moment.
Were you able to remove the broken stylus🤔
I'm watching from my g stylus 5g. Just so I know how to take it apart if I need to
Nice :)
I'm watching this video on one in fact it looks just like this one color and everything
Nice👍
Does this phone have Qualcomm EDL test points? If so where are they
Not sure
I only want to replace the battery that's bulging out. The case cover is what's holding it together, etc protection on art only as sides are opened. I just wanna skip in new one but in ebay. Save this cell as still getting a new one anyhow. Just to keep it alive pics, etc. The back is warped open anyhow only sealed edges & the case holding it. Ok so I gave ro remove allot b4 take battery off. I wish was just easy in swap out connect. Ugh. Dang it the finger print cable got broken cuz of this issue. I don't use it anyhow. I don't like that idea. I am old school as far as this cuz less collected about me the better or that. It's cool & all, but sad I can't use it. I have it & never got to try it. I should have .I tried it one sec on a other cell I used to have. Be at mind. On The 21st etc I'll get it from eBay & I can replace it. I don't want to remove all. I will just do the battery. Seems easy enough & pop new in, but I don't want to remove front, etc. That won't be good or cracked screen etc, cuz doing that to tablet broke it. The battery really puffed up & the screen didn't work it wasn't perfect replacement & then that happened. After 8 months that bought on Best Buy on holiday in 2017 or 2018. Omg it has adhesive. I forgot can't be that easy. I will try without first, cuz scared to put more moisture. I hope I can do this. I don't wanna take screws out, etc. So could just do it without ? Please tell me. Not clear. Looked at video over & over. Yeah strong adhesive till sun etc or battery pushes it out. Only having on from edges, cuz waiting to get battery to ta it off. I am scared to, but I'd rather try from side, but that's impossible so I'll deal with it. Then so idk till I get the battery & try it following the video. I have tools the screw driver from that tablet kirs so I'm ok with picke, etc.omg I have to remove it to get to the battery cable. Ugh. This sucks. Ok. I'll have to do it. Roll 👀. ,😱😡😫😤🤬😡🤬🙄🧐🙄🤨🧐🤫🥱🤫🤔🤫🤭😱 u don't want to remove speakers. Do u need to remove to do the battery. God I hope not. I don't wanna mess with the speakers part. I don't have an adhesive to put back on. Oh well. Please tell me. It seems I have to, but those components small sensitive & I don't want to pop off & risk braking it all have no sound etc. Ugh.
What size screwdriver did you use
1.5x25mm Philips
What happens when u strip a screw?
You can try using a size bigger screw driver to try and unscrew it but if it's too badly stripped, you would need to use a drill bit that's small enough to fit in the screw head and drill into it slightly so it breaks off the screw head.
hello. Nice video. This is a 5G phone. Please, can you tell us in evry review where is 5G located? Tank you.
Hi, thanks. If you are referring to the 5G modem, most of the time they are under one of the shields on the main board which are soldered down to the main board and not easy to remove to be able to show it. In most cases the board will become damaged trying to remove the none removable shields. Some phones some of the shields are removable but usually those removable ones are only by the processor and memory.
@@PBKreviews Thanks for answer. Yes, I mean about 5G modem. I ask you this, because y saw some videos where they said that is unnecessary to pay for a 5G phone because actually isn't a 5G. They said it's a scamm of companies.
@@troyano2510 I own and use this phone daily. I get 5g service. Not everywhere, but I get it more often than not.
My wife broke/cracked her screen. We cannot find a new Moto G Stylus 5g screen anywhere. Could you point us in the right direction? Thanks.
Hi, i just searched with no luck as well. You can try contacting mobiledefenders.com and request them to get the part, they are an autorized distributor for parts so they usually are able to get them.
@@PBKreviews Thanks for your speedy reply!
@@johna.ludwig2311 👍
Did you get a new screen I can't find one
@@juliocervantes6610 Nope. Searched all over. It looks like we need to wait a few weeks and keep checking.
My stylus is stuck inside the phone and won't come off when pressing it
My moto g stylus 2021 looks different?
Its confusing since there are many different models with same naming, there is a G stylus, G stylus 2021 and a moto g stylus 5G 2021 etc it goes on lol. Make sure to double check which version you have by checking on the box or in settings for the model number which starts with XT-
Too bad the touch screen on my 5g moto g stylus 2021 isn't working anymore. I wonder why it isn't working anymore? I accidentally did drop it multiple times on the back plastic part. I think something may be loose which is the cause. Now I bought the 4G version of this phone and to me the 4G is the better phone.
It could be from moisture/water damage, or other damage from a drop. You can try to take it apart if you are able to, to see if there is a loose or disconnected cable.
Can you fix mine ? How much?
Hi, I don't offer repair services but you can get the original parts for this phone at mobiledefenders.com and you can use the video as guide to walk you through the repair or take it to repair shop near you to do for you.
Why tf did nobody say anything about the sim card / sd slide?! You can’t take the mother board out with it still in
He took it out first thing.
Does anyone have a problem with people hearing them? I feel like the microphone is terrible
Use a small brush like a tooth brush to brush out the small hole on the bottom rim of the phone next to the charger port to make sure its not clogged with debris.
I'm just gonna go buy a new phone 😮
lol yep sometimes that's the case.
The battery adhesive is ridiculous
lol yeah, use some isopropyl alcohol, it will make it easier to pry off.
Does he reply?
Yes he does :)
This looks like a 2022 model
The 2022 G Stylus 5G looks completely different
Too much work involved
