It took me a year to trash my screen, and that's with a protector. This screen is one of the only Gorilla Glass 3 screens in the lower end of the market. For what it's worth, the cracking process is two steps 1) a chip, 2) flexing. I'm kinda hard on my phones.
I hate it when youtubers leave stuff out. They aren't the only ones. Back in the video tape days, I bought all three tapes available for ceramic tile installation... nawh, the sum total left stuff out. There's a math cartoon that goes something like "here's where the miracle is"...
You have to apply heat with a hair dryer or blow dryer preferably from the screen side to loosen up the adhesive underneath the battery, then gently pry the battery off using plastic pry tools ( or old membership cards you don't need) that can get underneath the battery. Apply heat throughout the process if you need, but make sure not to over heat the battery and don't use metal tools.
you left the battery plugged in while disconnected the screen.... bad, bad move... that may not always damage something but it's ALWAYS a good rule of thumb to disconnect the battery before disconnecting ANYTHING else, whenever possible!
Its soldered to the board so would require a place or person who knows soldering well to be able to de solder it and remove it and replace it with a new one. You can also check the filter for the mic on your frame to make sure its not the filter that is clogged or covered preventing the mic from picking up sound. Use a tooth brush or something similar to brush out the small hole in the frame for the mic and see if it will help.
Dear Ana, at what point can I attempt to remove battery? B4 or after the 14 screws. Would you recommend the same size or can I get stronger battery? Thank you.
@@PBKreviews well this video sort of helped...I got my phone apart carefully pulling it apart and found out my screen broke after replacing my battery. Fml
@@pixel_overkill oh sucks, ya they are fragile. If you need any parts you can check this website out for original parts or you can find some on ebay for cheaper www.mobiledefenders.com/mobile-parts/motorola/g-series/moto-g7.html
Beware ! when taking out the screen On this Phone it is possible to get in between the LCD and seperate it from its backing and scratch the LCD if you dont realize that it is happining. :(
I'm also curious about the adhesive. I need to remove my display to rescue a microSD card that somehow jumped out of the tray during insertion. Is it possible to reattach the screen without applying new adhesive, or is the adhesive more than likely to be destroyed in the process of opening it?
Hi, most likely you will need new adhesive and its always suggested you apply new adhesive to prevent dust or debris as well as moisture or such to enter the phone. Sometimes the adhesive sticks again if its not too damaged when prying off but again I always apply new adhesive just in case. When applying adhesive you can cut a long strip for each side, apply it then use a razor or xacto knife to slice off excess and cut it down to size etc. Also usually there will be precut adhesive made especially for this model phones which a lot of people will be preforming repairs on. Keep checking ebay or amazon or the links I have in the description for etradesupply as these would be the locations they would be sold probably. Hope this answers your question :)
Anyone just doing a screen replacement, watch the first minute and then jump to the last 15 seconds. You'll need a T4 screwdriver, an appropriate adhesive for remounting the screen, and a pry tool for getting the screen off. Thanks to PBKReviews for a clear and concise video!
It can be disconnected and removed. It's connected to the back of the mainboard. You just need to remove the protective tape over the connector and disconnect it.
Hi, the G7 does not have a separate charging port sub board. So you're only way would be to have a new one soldered on. The G7 Play I believe has a replaceable sub board for the charger port.
Always Unplug the battery first before anything else disconnecting the screen or any other connectors before hand can cause arks and can ruin capacitors and the phone wont work at all
Do you know if it’s possible to replace the power button/volume rocker ribbon cable? Accidentally sliced it when opening the screen. Does it require the back cover to be removed?
@@PBKreviewsThanks for the lightning fast reply! To remove the back is it kind of the same as removing the screen? Heat up the edges and use a thin blade to cut the adhesive and pry off the back? Couldn’t find any tutorials on it! :/
@@RickLeeofSBC you're welcome. Yea the back is similar to the front, but you would need to first remove the battery as well since the finger print cable is run underneath the battery and you would need to free it up so when you pry the back off, it doesn't tear the cable (from what I remember, either way better safe than sorry so ya remove the battery first). Hope this helps, let me know if you have any other questions.
It should fit fine, the only difference I can think of would be the sub board or charger port board which tends to have different antenna contacts which can sometimes cause issues with connection and signal etc. If you see you are having signal issues, you can try and flash a US version software to the board and see if it helps.
Thank you PKB. Do you know what should I replace since my phone is failing on catching up a stable net and connection...also people will lose hearing me when calling and as well lose connection with data when using the Internet. I have to say it felt down many times.Thank you!
Hi, you would just need to open the phone as shown in the video and make sure all cables are connected properly and the screws are fastened in place well. If still having issues, then your board might be going bad since most the antenna contacts are mounted to the board itself and if those broke then you would probably need to get a new phone. Also keep in mind there is a chance of breaking or damaging your screen if you are not careful when prying off. Make sure to apply some heat as well with a hair dryer to warm up the screen and loosen up the adhesive. You would need new adhesive to re attach the screen afterwards.
It can very depending on brand of screw driver but I have found it personally best on smaller screws to use one size up and slightly press in while unscrewing to prevent stripping the screws. Some people will argue that using the incorrect size will strip the screws but from my experience all these years, it's worked best to prevent stripping. However T3 or T4 would do the job.
Why did you remove the power button and volume cable? I replaced the screen but it is not working. wondering there is some relationship to that problem with the power cable.
Because the purpose is to show how to take apart the entire phone, but if you're replacing your display, then you don't need to remove the power button cable. Only the battery. After you installed your new screen make sure your cables are connected properly and also try pressing and holding volume down and power button to see if that would get your phone powered on
Thanks. Good video. but still my new screen is not powering up. I took it to cell phone service and they couldn't figure it either. my phone is working, alarms beeping on time etc. but not screen.
Anna, beautiful job. If only all TH-cam videos were as clear and concise as this one. The problem I am having now is the charging port. It looks like I have to unsolder and replace the chargering port rather than just replace it. It would be helpful if you could direct me to any instructions on that. Thanks.
Thanks! soldering isn't easy if you don't know what you are doing, I myself am not an expert and hardly ever do soldering. So I feel the best bet would be to take it to a repair shop that can do soldering and have them replace the charger port for you, or you can try contacting Motorola and see how much they would charge to replace the charger port. It sucks they didn't make the charger port on a separate sub board which in most phones now a day is replaceable rather than having to de-solder it.
Very Nice. But VERY DANGEROUS!, the Battery Cable Should be unplugged before unplugging the Screen, and the Screen should be plugged in before connecting the Battery. The battery Must be connected last. It is very dangerous and can short out, RUIN the main board.
Thanks. But although true that the battery cable should be disconnected first when possible, it's not very dangerous and the risk of shorting if you are not using metal tools is very minimal. I have replaced screens on thousands of phones over the years which the screen cable was accessible before the battery cable and never ran into any problems. For example some of the google pixel phones. The screen comes off first and you need to disconnect the screen cable to then gain access to removing the screws on the mid plate to remove the midplate then you gain access to the battery cable and rest of the cables. Even if the battery cable was accessible at first, disconnecting the screen cable first will almost never short if again you don't use metal tools. This is the case only when it comes to phones, laptops and computers on the other hand are totally different. Disconnecting anything on those without disconnecting the battery at first can definitely short the board.
@@PBKreviews In this case the battery Can be removed first. It may not be dangerous for you because you probably have spare parts. But if the average person shorts out the main board, now he has to order the new part and wait at least 4 days to receive the part. Very inconvenient. Lets face it PBK better safe than sorry.... and most Android Phone batteries in the past years practically fell out after removing the back cover.
You can use isoproypl alcohol and apply some to the sides of the battery and let it sit for 30 seconds so it eats away at the adhesive underneath the battery making it easier to pry off. Here is a link for it: www.ifixit.com/Store/Tools/iFixit-Adhesive-Remover/IF145-400?o=4
Usually its written on the box of the phone, but sometimes also on the lower rim of the phone next to the charger port or back of the phone but not always written on the phone.
What is that little tool that you use to open the phone with and where do you get it somebody help me please about a kit from Amazon but didn't have that tool in there dammit
The pry pick? there is a link in the description for it. Its basically a guitar pic same thing. Also you can use a suction cup tool to help pull up the screen after you heat it, to get leverage to insert the pry pick in between the screen and frame. Also make sure you are careful if you are prying a working screen off, since if you insert the pry pick too deep, it can damage the screen or cable.
Honestly I'm not sure since I don't have it to double check anymore but it all varies. Sometimes some models will have all pins soldered on regardless of the dual sim capability and some may not. For example before there were motorola phones which had the pins installed for 2 sets of sims but only one sim support from the phone that was the USA version but the China version supported both sims and made use of those additional pins. However the USA one even with dual sim tray inserted would not detect the additional sim since the software was not initialized to detect it and use the additional pins.
Just got this G7 phone new. Instructions said to use the supplied sim tool to pop out sim tray. I stuck the tool in the bottom mic and pushed until it felt like it went through some rubber piece. Realized it wasn't the sim tray. Found the next hole on top and did the same thing, and then realized that was another mic. Finally found the sim tray. Don't judge. :/ Phone seems to sound okay but I don't want to be haunted by this. Did I actually puncture something that will show up later? Do I need to return this phone now?
Thank you for the video ! What difference is in between the G7 and the G7 plus?. Also what is the difference in between the Moto G7 Plus Single-Sim and Moto G7 Dual-Sim ? Can I convert a single sim to dual sim changing just the main board and sim-tray ?
Here is a link for the break down of the differences: www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=9357&idPhone2=9533 Also most of the time, the software has to also be optimized to be enabled to read dual sim. In most cases, swapping a dual sim reader with a single when possible doesn't enable the phone reading the second sim until a firmware from a dual sim device is also flashed onto the phone. Changing the main board with one with a dual sim enabled from factory would work of course. But on this motorola ones with the sim readers soldered onto the main board, usually its just the additional sim pins are disabled from software, so all you would need to do would be to flash a firmware from a dual sim version of the phone onto your phone to enable it. How to flash firmware, you would need to google it (since it's been way too long since I ever did that and I don't remember how). First you would need to google how to do it, and second you would need to google and find a firmware from a phone in a region that does support the dual sim. Usually people post them on forums which can be found online etc.
No since the g7 power battery is a different shape and would not fit in a g7. If it was the same shape and the size would allow it to fit and the connector was the same, then it would work but in this case of the g7 and g7 power it wont.
Hey do you know what I could do if this type of phone's screen goes black but still makes the power off sound and if you could tell me what to check inside the phone i would be very grateful
try holding vol down and power for 30 seconds to reboot to see if it's frozen. if nothing then it could be many things from bad display, to water damage etc.
@@PBKreviews omg thank you so much, and it didn't work though so maybe it's something inside it, I'm sorry but could I ask what I should look for inside my phone that could be the problem?
Thanks for this video. I used this when I wanted to replace the battery on my 3 y old Moto G7plus, since it discharged after only a day or so now. There is some minor difference inside, the battery cable goes in from the middle, not from the below like here, and there were also some black tape over the battery, that had to be cut off. The battery itself was glued somehow to the bottom, but I just broke it up and removed it, and applied some new tape over the new one. So far so good, but the screen also seemed glued to the phone? It was not to just click it back on as I had thought. Some of that glue is still there, and it seems to hold so far, but I guess it's best get some suitable glue to use on that. It's not completely closed all the way around, there is a bit light coming through a few places, when the phone is on.
Hi. Yes the screen is held on with adhesive. You can buy replacement pre cut adhesive for the phone from these links in addition to other parts. Keep in mind the Moto G7 vs G7 plus parts may vary.

When I removed the motherboard there was a small white plastic piece sinning near the charger port. It has a red rubberish coating on a small portion. I do not see it in the video, this is a Moto G7 (XT1962)
are you referring to the white sticker with red X's on it? if so that is the liquid damage indicator sticker. If water touches it, it turns pink or red indicating the phone was exposed to water.
question.. a rock is stuck in my headphone hole for this phone, it's perfectly fitted in there and idk what to do so if someone could please give me advice or what I should do that would be great, thanks :)
@@PBKreviews OK! Thank you. I'm Brazilian. I'm a maintenance technician on cell phones. Thank you for your attention, have a good night. It's night rsrsrsrs here. bye.
It’s so bad quality I just buy it yesterday and today 04/19/18 broken glass for less than 2 feet slipped to the floor and costumer serves they’re so bad Don’t worth to try it !!!!!
Yea, its a lower end phone so they don't make them as durable and long lasting as more of the higher end lines. But atleast the replacement parts arn't too expensive :)
The phone G7 peace of shit ! You have buy a full production plan which is cost you the same price of the phone $299.99 , the screen easy to broke in the same day like what’s happened with me and the customer service for them it’s so pad like Best Buy or I can call them the worst Buy !
Well pretty much all manufactures are making phones with integrated batteries now. Its not just Motorola. Just the way the tide has turned, there really is no choice since I can't think of a phone that has a removable battery now a days. It would be good if at least they designed it so it would have a easily removable/detachable cover to replace the integrated batteries. But basically the bottom line is, they don't want you to. They prefer to have you send them the phone and charge you to do it themselves.
@@PBKreviews you're right, in the end it's a matter of planned obsolescence...either by charging for battery replacement, or force you to buy a new phone. And frankly it looks like a cartel, considering that almost no producer release anymore models with replaceable batteries. Politicians should introduce some legislation to defend consumers, this is not right.

Apply heat throughout the process if you need, but make sure not to over heat the battery and don't use metal tools.

Hahaha, that's the dumbest thing i've ever heard, man you must be blind to overlook the sim tray 😂

Hello, miktophone od integrated witch mobo?
Is the MOTO G7 PLAY same as T-Mobile REVVLRY+ ?
would be the same as the moto g7 plus
Thank you for the video ! What difference is in between the G7 and the G7 plus?. Also what is the difference in between the Moto G7 Plus Single-Sim and Moto G7 Dual-Sim ? Can I convert a single sim to dual sim changing just the main board and sim-tray ?
Here is a link for the break down of the differences: www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=9357&idPhone2=9533 Also most of the time, the software has to also be optimized to be enabled to read dual sim. In most cases, swapping a dual sim reader with a single when possible doesn't enable the phone reading the second sim until a firmware from a dual sim device is also flashed onto the phone. Changing the main board with one with a dual sim enabled from factory would work of course. But on this motorola ones with the sim readers soldered onto the main board, usually its just the additional sim pins are disabled from software, so all you would need to do would be to flash a firmware from a dual sim version of the phone onto your phone to enable it. How to flash firmware, you would need to google it (since it's been way too long since I ever did that and I don't remember how). First you would need to google how to do it, and second you would need to google and find a firmware from a phone in a region that does support the dual sim. Usually people post them on forums which can be found online etc.
Very good@
can you put a g7 power battery on a g7 phone.
No since the g7 power battery is a different shape and would not fit in a g7. If it was the same shape and the size would allow it to fit and the connector was the same, then it would work but in this case of the g7 and g7 power it wont.
Hey do you know what I could do if this type of phone's screen goes black but still makes the power off sound and if you could tell me what to check inside the phone i would be very grateful
try holding vol down and power for 30 seconds to reboot to see if it's frozen. if nothing then it could be many things from bad display, to water damage etc.
@@PBKreviews omg thank you so much, and it didn't work though so maybe it's something inside it, I'm sorry but could I ask what I should look for inside my phone that could be the problem?
3:47 there's your wifi/bluetooth problem, one antenna, linked from side to side, Bluetooth straight to wifi.
How can I find original battery for Moto g7
Can i use moto g7 screen on g7 plus body?
Yes you can, its the same screen for both
I have this phone but have echo sound. Can you tell what is wrong? Thanks
Not sure exactly what might be causing that issue for you. Try turning the earpiece volume down a notch or two see if it helps.
Thanks for this video. I used this when I wanted to replace the battery on my 3 y old Moto G7plus, since it discharged after only a day or so now. There is some minor difference inside, the battery cable goes in from the middle, not from the below like here, and there were also some black tape over the battery, that had to be cut off. The battery itself was glued somehow to the bottom, but I just broke it up and removed it, and applied some new tape over the new one.
So far so good, but the screen also seemed glued to the phone? It was not to just click it back on as I had thought. Some of that glue is still there, and it seems to hold so far, but I guess it's best get some suitable glue to use on that. It's not completely closed all the way around, there is a bit light coming through a few places, when the phone is on.
Hi. Yes the screen is held on with adhesive. You can buy replacement pre cut adhesive for the phone from these links in addition to other parts. Keep in mind the Moto G7 vs G7 plus parts may vary.

Why is it that most g7 phones require the back panel to be removed but this one requires a screen removal? Is this model different?
If it's a G7, should be done like it is in this video. The G7 power is from the back. Different phones, different designs.
Thanks
I thought you first disassemble the back and then the screen
Great video!!!
Veey helpful
Thank you.
When I removed the motherboard there was a small white plastic piece sinning near the charger port. It has a red rubberish coating on a small portion. I do not see it in the video, this is a Moto G7 (XT1962)
Got a sighting of it at minute 3:13 the a re-sighting at 4:52. we will see it I get it lodged in the correct place.
are you referring to the white sticker with red X's on it? if so that is the liquid damage indicator sticker. If water touches it, it turns pink or red indicating the phone was exposed to water.
question.. a rock is stuck in my headphone hole for this phone, it's perfectly fitted in there and idk what to do so if someone could please give me advice or what I should do that would be great, thanks :)
Have you fix it yet
@@megamind8359 yes, the inside is a little scratched but I bought Bluetooth headphones

What do you clean it with? Both my mic and speaker are hard to hear now so I was going to try to clean them.
REMOVE BATTERY CABLE FIRST
I wish I was the phone😍
It’s so bad quality I just buy it yesterday and today 04/19/18 broken glass for less than 2 feet slipped to the floor
and costumer serves they’re so bad
Don’t worth to try it !!!!!
Yea, its a lower end phone so they don't make them as durable and long lasting as more of the higher end lines. But atleast the replacement parts arn't too expensive :)
Good value phones with good quality. Get a case no glass phone will do great being dropped. Duh🤬
cHeck the phone works beFORE GluinG sCREEn
Dhes sn asdhole
Anna your hella beautiful might I add
Mid range phone, this is not a budget or flagship.
this is NOT for G7 plus
The G7 plus teardown is almost exactly the same. Not sure what you mean.
The phone G7 peace of shit ! You have buy a full production plan which is cost you the same price of the phone $299.99 , the screen easy to broke in the same day like what’s happened with me and the customer service for them it’s so pad like Best Buy or I can call them the worst Buy !
Stupid phone no 5000 bateriya or saver batery
Jesus, why Motorola keeps producing phones that have integrated batteries? Thanks for your video, I'll gladly avoid buying a g7!
Well pretty much all manufactures are making phones with integrated batteries now. Its not just Motorola. Just the way the tide has turned, there really is no choice since I can't think of a phone that has a removable battery now a days. It would be good if at least they designed it so it would have a easily removable/detachable cover to replace the integrated batteries. But basically the bottom line is, they don't want you to. They prefer to have you send them the phone and charge you to do it themselves.
@@PBKreviews you're right, in the end it's a matter of planned obsolescence...either by charging for battery replacement, or force you to buy a new phone. And frankly it looks like a cartel, considering that almost no producer release anymore models with replaceable batteries.
Politicians should introduce some legislation to defend consumers, this is not right.
@@PBKreviews ...or have customers purchase a new phone.
@@--Skip-- yup
I just want to replace the screen, not tear down the whole phone.
Does the main board have to go out to replace the battery?
no but it will give you more room to work with and make it easier to pry off the battery if you remove the main board
