Motorola Moto G6 Disassembly Teardown Repair Video XT1925

[@steveparatech9176]

Thanks! Because of this video I was able to resurrect my motoG6 after it went for a ride in the washing machine. It's not fixed but I was able to recover my data! Cheers

[@PBKreviews]

You're welcome 👍

[@ghostnote-6]

THANK YOU. The info at 4:05 helped me to fix a bluetooth and wifi problem I had after I replaced the battery.

[@PBKreviews]

Glad it was helpful :)

[@ghostnote-6]

@@PBKreviews Now the issue is back. Bluetooth signal is almost nonexistent, and the 2.4Ghz wifi is weak and cuts in and out. The 5G is fine though 🤔 Tried taking it apart and making sure everything is connected as best as I know how, but it's not helping now. Any tips?

[@jggpie]

Thank you so much!!! This was super helpful so I could figure out what part of my phone was water damaged and was able to fix it. Luckily the screen connection had only gotten a little hot and I cleaned it with alcohol, dried other parts and got it back up and running.

You're welcome, glad it was able to help you

Thanks a lot, this video helped me fix a water damage inside my phone!

[@PBKreviews]

your welcome :)

[@epiccheeseman42069]

Me too!

[@krausternet]

very clear. I still have my Note4 because it allows swapping of batteries easily. I watched this video to see how difficult it would be to replace a battery if the non swappable battery needs to be replaced. It doesn't look too bad.

[@Red87star]

Can original adhesive be reused or does it get pulled apart and gunky? Need to know if I must order new adhesive before doing a battery replacement?

[@galactic904]

Wall Stud scanner app. Where is the sensor on the G6? Is the sensor in the middle, left/right side? Need to know for accurate marking the edge of wall post stud

[@PBKreviews]

I'm not sure where the sensor is located or which sensor it uses for that app etc.

[@jonvenner6319]

Thank you for a really clear unhurried video! I think my G6's front facing microphone is shot, is it part of the main board?

[@PBKreviews]

You're welcome. Yes the mic is soldered onto the main board. Make sure you clean out the hole that leads to the mic with a small brush or something else you can fit inside the hole to make sure It's not clogged causing it not to work.

[@TheColinpeter]

Hi Thanks for the video- very clear and has helped tp take phone apart to dry it out after it stopped working in the rain! Unfortunatly in prying off cable from battery I have accidently pulled off the 'plug' part of cable connection too... is there anyway I can repair this? Thanks

[@PBKreviews]

Your welcome. If you have soldering skills yes you can re-solder it onto the main board. If not then you can try taking it to a repair store which does soldering and have them do it for you. :)

[@mulder2400]

Get a new phone.

[@ThaddeusvonTentakel]

If I need to replace a cracked screen glas, is it necessary to open it up at the back and the front, or is it possible to replace is just opening it on the front, the way you showed in the video ?

[@PBKreviews]

You would need to open it from the back first because you would need to disconnect the cables for the screen/touch screen glass etc. and reconnect the new ones. You would not be able to from just the front.

[@ThaddeusvonTentakel]

pwrdbykyank okay thx for the response ✌️👌

[@allenkadada]

Any waterproofing from what you can tell?

[@PBKreviews]

No, I didn't see anything that would make me think it would be waterproof. It has the adhesive all around the back but I dont think that would prevent water from getting in.

[@BIGSEXYDADDYCOOL]

did anyone run into signal fluctuations on this phone? my brand new phone is constantly dropping and gaining signal bars all the time

yes same problem

[@girlnugget293]

Same problem

[@Xanderfied]

Straight talk?

[@BillAnt]

Could be caused by liquid damage, a damages radio chip on the main board, or a broken antenna connector inside the phone. Take it to your local phone repair shop and ask them to try to fix it, but don't pay anything if it's not fixable. ;)

[@marcusgray3792]

Does this have just a copper thing for heat or is it liquid or what

[@PBKreviews]

Hi, no the copper color tape on this phone is just a protective shield tape so board doesnt make contact with the aluminum frame

[@marcusgray3792]

[@PBKreviews]

@@marcusgray3792 nothing heat transfer pipe related no, but this phone shouldn't be creating that much heat for it to require cooling so it should be fine :)

[@muaythai4lifelife]

hi, I accidentally inserted the tool to open the sim tray into the opposite side of this phone, so on the mic cavity. Is it possible i have touched or damaged something on the mic with that tool? Or is it a empty cavity? Thanx in advance!

[@PBKreviews]

If you mean the small hole thats for the sound to enter the phone to reach the mic, I don't think you would have damaged it unless you smashed it in really hard because the mic itself is a gold colored solid metal type piece which is soldered onto the main board and would not break off or damage unless it was pried off etc. Basically its not like a speaker that can tear.

[@muaythai4lifelife]

@@PBKreviews hi, yes that one, I inserted the tool provided with the phone, the one to extract the sim and ad card tray. Everything works fine. I wondered if i could have damaged something but hopefully It seems all ok. Thanx.

If a moto g6 phone goes dead while taking a charge,is it just the battery,or could a power button fail? Phone is 4 months old.

[@PBKreviews]

try pressing and holding the volume up + down + power button for 15 seconds see if it boots. Might be frozen. If nothing then I would say its the battery.

[@ronpezda]

@@PBKreviews This worked for me.

[@locochapin]

what if there is water damage? any way to fix or is phone junk now? Currently phone screen only flickers with a dim light and wont turn on.

[@PBKreviews]

If you have been trying to turn it on with water damage most likely you damaged it further. When your phone gets water damage, you need to try to turn it off and not turn it on until its completely clean n clear of water or corrosion. Next you need to disassemble it, and clean off any water and make sure there is no more water and if there is corrosion on the circuits you need to clean the corrosion off with a brush. Then reassemble it and try it.

[@jwalantbodi6139]

hey ! After taking the phone out of the box for the first time , i tried to put it on charge. But it did not show that it was charging, i tried removing the plug and putting it back again but still it did not start charging. The phone was ON . after trying the same thing(removing plug and putting it back) for 5 min Then it started to charge. I wanted to now if this is fine or should i get it replaced as i still got time. Thanks

[@PBKreviews]

If the phone was completely dead, it takes about 3-5 minutes for it to initially get charge enough to display that the phone is charging etc. But if the phone is on and working but it wont charge and required you to plug it in a few times for it to work, then either you have a faulty charger or a issue with the phone and would contact motorola and have them replace it.

[@jwalantbodi6139]

pwrdbykyank it happened only the first time after taking it out of the box(it was not dead.. it had 77 % already..) But now when I put it on charge it charges without trying many times. It works fine.

[@PBKreviews]

Glad it works! Yea sometimes they act funny right out of the box, its happened to me as well, but with a new charge fixes the issue :)

[@dotydude]

I replaced the battery in my G6 and now the battery temperature sensor reads -19.5 C and it won't charge to 100%. Where is the battery temperature sensor and can it be fixed?

Would be a part of the battery itself.

[@Jon110334]

This video stops when it gets interesting. I get it, you remove screws and take stuff apart. Removing the LCD digitizer from the mid-case is a whole different story. Throw me a few upvotes if you want me to submit a video of my removal of the LCD screen and installation of the new LCD screen.

[@Jon110334]

If you're replacing the LCD screen and the digitizer, you'll need some 2 mm double sided tape and some conductive glue. Hopefully, you're not like me and wait until the LCD screen gets in to realize you need the conductive glue. Now I'm waiting for another shipment to arrive before I can have my cellphone back up and running.

[@BillAnt]

This phone is definitely not repair friendly, even for me who's been doing phone repairs for 20+ years, it's not an easy job due to the way it's put together. By the way, if you attempt it, don't just use "some" adhesive, but preferably high quality strong "Tesa" tape make especially for phone repair, that is if you want to get it done the right way. You can find it here: www.ifixit.com/Store/Tools/Tesa-61395-Tape/IF317-072?o=1

[@dricoirving3236]

my power and volume buttons are stuck, is it an easy fix?

[@PBKreviews]

Its not too hard but you would need to take the phone apart and remove the mother board to gain access to the power button/volume rocker. You would need to remove the screws holding them in place and see whats causing them to stick. Maybe cleaning them out and re-placing them in would fix it.

[@madhumitasarkar5432]

Is Moto g6 &g6 plus battery same?

No they are different. This is the G6 Plus battery amzn.to/2UnFNEJ and this is the G6 Battery amzn.to/2ZftsWw the connectors are different

[@naseembaig7749]

Sir my moto g6 Very over heating and battery dropped plz help how to solve

[@PBKreviews]

Hi, try making sure you dont have running apps in the background. You can always backup all your data and then do a factory reset to set the phone back to factory and see if that helps. Over heating can also be caused from water damage etc.

[@PBKreviews]

I'm not sure exactly which models do or don't, but I believe the S24 Ultra I saw had the option but not sure about the A55.

[@TheAkashicTraveller]

That looks like it would be fairly simple to do an extended battery mod.

[@PBKreviews]

I don't think that would be possible because there really is no room for a larger battery. It would sit thicker and the back cover would not fit back onto the phone.

[@BillAnt]

It's a lot easier to remove the back by first heating it up evenly to about 120C on a heating plate (better yet using two heating plates side by side with a 3cm gap in between the plates to fit the rear camera lens, in order to avoid damaging the camera by the heat ;)

[@Red87star]

Can original adhesive be reused or does it get pulled apart and gunky? Need to know if I must order new adhesive before doing a battery replacement?

[@BillAnt]

Usually the adhesive gets damaged (gets non-sticky and sometimes even ripped in places), therefore I always use brand new Tesa brand adhesive tape especially made for phone repair (extremely sticky and strong). It's best to have different sizes available from 1mm to 20mm wide for all kinds of phone repairs (you can find it here: www.ifixit.com/Store/Tools/Tesa-61395-Tape/IF317-072?o=1). If you don't have it or don't want to spend $100 for all the different sizes, then take it to your local phone repair shop which will most likely have it, and they usually don't charge a lot to have it replaces professionally (should be around $10usd, course for that price you will have to supply your own battery, otherwise it runs around $30 with the battery included).

[@jhonnybravo6445]

Please help, I dropped my phone and now my microphone is not working. Nothing broke, everything else works fine, is costly to fix?

Try taking the phone apart and make sure all the cables are connected and nothing is loose, also make sure the mic has not broken off. The mic (where you speak into) should be the thing thats covered by the yellow rubber seal next to the charger port at 7:40 in the video

[@project_avx]

Constructive criticism from a fellow youtuber, good clear video, good vantage point to see everything you were doing, but try to refrain from pointing out locations of obvious items such as "Here is the SCREEN 8:26", or, "Here is the CAMERA 7:31", battery, SIMM tray, headphone jack, charge port, etc. "No shit". Second point, I think most people are here for the screen removal. It's not really a disassembly / teardown without this and you might want to consider listing "no screen removal" in your title else it's kinda clickbaity... Good luck and happy youtubing!

[@PBKreviews]

Thanks, but one this video is pretty old my videos now are more clear, and two you would think I don't need to mention those things, but you don't know how many times I get asked those questions on what part is what, where is the mic, where is the headphone jack connected etc. Best to just mention them so I don't have to answer every time. Also after the disassembly all that is left is to heat up and pry the screen off, there is no special instructions on how to do the rest usually. Once the phone is disassembled, screen cable is disconnected, you just pry the screen off and add new adhesive and apply the new screen back on and reverse the process. As I have said many times, if you can't understand how to do that part then you should not even be taking a phone apart in the first place. Basically like taking the bolts off the rim of the tire then saying ok now how do I lift or pull out the rim. You just pull it off. But again I mention this in newer vids already telling you what you need to do to remove the screen since like you many people ask how do I replace the screen. Thanks for the pointers but in more recent vids I have implemented some of them and hope my explanation is thorough enough to explain why I do certain things certain ways.

[@project_avx]

@@PBKreviews Cool! KZbin friends? Thanks for taking the time to feedback. I'm glad my comment didn't upset you. Screen isn't always so easy. I ran into one from factory where the backside of the LCD was double-sided taped to the midframe along with edges (like how the battery is). Undo the edges like normal, then BANG, because reasons. So I learned... always check... because that would've been handy to know five minutes ago. Want to see the video I made taking mine apart? I was drinking pond water and using a bean bag for heat. :) What else would you expect from a guy goes by a name like mine?

[@PBKreviews]

@@project_avx Ya no problem, it didn't upset me :). Ya screens are always usually just held down with adhesive, some use more adhesive some use less. But almost always suggested not to pry a working screen off because the chance of breaking it is high so if its already broken then you have nothing to worry about but when its working I try not to pry it off unless I have to since I don't want to render it useless :)
