Motorola Moto One 5G ACE LCD Touch Screen Replacement

[@luckapani8849]

Thank you for this helpful video! I was able to repair my cell phone screen with its help. I have two findings that are worth noting: - the antenna cables (on the right side of the screen) are easy to damage during step one (removal of the back cover, while prying off the glue). Do take caution on that side of the phone especially - the speaker on the top of the phone has metal contacts that are bent outwards, making them spring loaded against the circuit board. Do ensure the correct orientation when putting the speaker back down, so that these make contact for the speaker to work correctly. And one more suggestion - After assembling everything together, but before gluing the back cover, turn the phone on and ensure everything works well (including reception, WiFi, Bluetooth and all sounds (calling and loud speaker)). It is easier to troubleshoot before it's all stuck together again.

Thanks for sharing your experience..

is like having a new phone!! thanks for the spep by step video, I replace the screen and also when I opened, I deside to replace the battery since I was already here.

Thanks for your feedback.. 🙏

Very helpful video. I have never cracked open a phone to replace the screen before and this video was a tremendous help. I would like to add however that if you are replacing JUST THE GLASS (and digitizer) *WITHOUT* the frame, MANY of these steps are unnecessary. Unfortunately the only snag I ran into when I took my phone apart was the vibration component. It would NOT come off. After trying many times it broke. I proceeded with the screen replacement only to realize I never had to touch that component in the first place. Oh well.

[@helgewolfs1655]

do you have a link on how to repair JUST the glass (with digitizer)? I only find videos for the full (dis)assembly (I'm looking for the Motorola One Macro)

[@stevenmichaels5539]

@@helgewolfs1655 I don't remember it to well but if you are replacing JUST the glass all you have to do is remove the battery so you can get to the ribbon cable that connects the screen to the upper logic board. It's really a bitch to get that battery out use a little rubbing alcohol, a heat gun, and/or set the phone somewhere it'll get nice and warm (I put mine on top of my surround sound receiver for about ten minutes and it got nice and toasty warm) and take your time getting the battery free from the glue. It's really really a pain in the ass. Once the battery is out use the tools to separate the glass from the front of the phone and you'll see from there what you need to do to replace it. I got a glass kit on eBay that came with a couple tools to do the job and glue to glue shit back together. It was like $40 or so.

[@helgewolfs1655]

@@stevenmichaels5539 thank you so much for your reply. I should be able to do that, thanks for the tip about the battery.

EXCELLENT! You have given me confidence!

You can do it!

[@olheghtt]

This is great video, straightforward and to the point on every step. I'm expecting my new glass to arrive in 2 weeks and will be trying this myself. However can you tell me are the screws all the same size, they're small.

[@DIYGeardo]

Yeah almost same, but always double check.Sometimes it can be different.

[@mirandapatterson8510]

Very helpful but I broke the strip trying to get the battery out but Amazon had one for $10 so it will be here in a couple days but your video is helping me a lot

[@DIYGeardo]

[@DIYGeardo]

I’m not sure you can replace only the lens. Even it is possible you need to find a good technician

[@redddy]

Questions for the adhesive glue used is it possible to use Krazy glue for that or is there a specific glue for it

[@DIYGeardo]

Please don’t use it. You will not able to remove the screen again.

[@jameslfowler9988]

great video, as complicated as this is it seems better to just buy another model that isnt brittle like an elderly person. I havent even had mine for one month. I really did assume it would be far simpler than this. well the kit has already been ordered. so another 35 bucks so Ill give it a go. thank you this will make it mush easier - cheers

[@DIYGeardo]

Thanks for your feedback 🙏..

Mr Geardo, Was taking the motorola ace apart a black piece of molded plastic one inch long fell out.. It is definitely a molded piece with 4 rectangular slots on the one side... I know it must go somewhere and i would send a photo bu ti dont think its possible here

[@miguelflores8094]

Hello Thank you, I successfully replaced Moto 5G one Ace with a new frame, the issue I am having now is the earpiece is not working, I can use the speaker, is the speaker easily blown? which direction should it go back in? At one point it work. I closed it and tried again before adding glue and earpiece did not work, with speaker on I heard a loud echo, not sure if it was because I had my laptop and cell close to it?

[@mirandapatterson8510]

The ear piece is fragile I think I might have broke mine and I broke the strip for sure now I have to wait and see if the ear piece works

[@alain4848]

Great video thank you!

[@DIYGeardo]

Glad you liked it!

[@maritzamendez5339]

This was the perfect example! I think I see your video late😭😭😭. I didn’t heat the M so when I open the back I brake the gold seal. I just want to fix the screen because it turn black. Can I still fix it.

[@DIYGeardo]

Yes you should be able to fix it

[@whereistruefreedom]

Hi, are the screws T screws and what size ? Thanks

[@Adventure_Outdoors_with_Lucky]

Do you need to remove the components from the case such as the charging board if you’re not replacing the case and only getting the screen?

[@DIYGeardo]

Yes no need. But make sure you get proper adhesive or glue, otherwise screens will pop out after few days

[@dhestondh]

Could you please put a link to the screen with the frame assembly I have the same phone in the screen is cracked it's still working but it's driving me crazy

[@olheghtt]

If I counted right, I think you removed 16 screws once you were inside the phone. Are those screws all the same length and thread or do I need to be careful about that.

[@DIYGeardo]

It is almost same size, but just beware, some regions can have different sizes

[@ashleywallace4284]

@@DIYGeardo I snapped the fingerprint censor pulling the back off. I finished the replacement and now its stuck in fastboot mode. Did the fingerprint censor coming off ruin it? Tried the tips and tricks I know to get it to start normally, tore it all down and put it back again, and tried connecting to the laptop to start. Still won't boot up. Any thoughts?

[@antonionapue961]

I replaced the screen and thought the process went smoothly. However, now the phone doesn't turn on. If it's plugged in, holding the power button will give me a small vibration -- presumably the phone's attempt at a reboot. But nothing else happens. Even when reattaching the old screen to the motherboard (said screen being fully functional before the repair, just thoroughly cracked), I get the same result. I've tried reassembling a dozen times at this point and always get the same outcome. I've bought a replacement battery just to make sure I didn't damage the original during disassembly. Same outcome. I can't recall anything becoming damaged during the swap. So unless there was some sort of short circuit, I can't think of anything that could've gone wrong. Even excessively researching this specific behavior has yielding little. It seems to be something that only really happens to Moto and Oneplus phones, but I've yet to find a compelling explanation. ...I appreciate the video, though. Definitely couldn't have replaced the screen without it.

[@MOSTGHALONE]

I have this exact phone and I was thinking about replacing the cracked glass myself.

[@DIYGeardo]

Try to get the screen with the frame.It is easy.

[@TC-uj6jc]

What tempture did you set the heat gun at.. I am going to try this.. I so mad at myself my breaking my screen.. 1st time ever.. Never again

[@DIYGeardo]

If you are buying screen with the frame, then you don’t need to separate the screen.

[@Rectno]

I have a screen with out a frame can you show how to put the screen in?

[@DIYGeardo]

Will try to get that video. If you are using that screen make sure to have proper glue to install on the frame, otherwise the screen will pop out from the screen

[@BingTX]

How in the world did you get that battery out without bending it?

[@DIYGeardo]

Just needs proper heating and patience 🙂

[@BingTX]

@@DIYGeardo I heated that thing for 30 mins, pried it out over 2 hours and still broke the battery.

[@BingTX]

@@DIYGeardo those Motorola punks out way too much adhesive on that thing

[@Aitalk_only1]

Will I still have all my stuff on it if I changed it out, like would I have every thing still on it, can u replace mine,pls pls pls pls pls, can u replace it if it has lines and a black spot

[@DIYGeardo]

All your stuff means? The data inside the phone? Nothing will happen to those. If you have black spot and lines, then you need a new screen. You can try lcd with frame. Easy

[@veronicaaguirre1943]

I ordered the replacement screen with the frame and when I assembled everything back together on the new frame, the power button doesn't function at all. As soon as I plug in the battery cable, it turns on by itself but i can't power it on or off with the button

[@DIYGeardo]

Did you move those cables to the new frame?

[@Onur19O7]

Hello, take it easy. 🙂👍🇹🇷

[@DIYGeardo]

Thanks for your feedback

[@Sporeadic-Life]

So I attempted to do the install, but I realized I used the screen replacement, without the frame? Now the phone screen is not working at all. What could I do to remedy this, if anything?

[@DIYGeardo]

That is fine. So instead remove the screen from the frame. Disconnect the lcd cable and apply heat to the screen. Take out the screen and clean the frame well, then apply adhesive or glue to install the screen to the frame.

[@untaintedbeats5322]

Question..I followed all the steps and everything looks good but the screen is still black. everything is plugged in...what could the problem be?

[@untaintedbeats5322]

just to add...i do get a white blinking light in the top left side and can feel the phone vibrating when I turn it on...

[@DIYGeardo]

If the connections are good then it might be a faulty screen

Used heat on the battery, then gently tried prying the battery out, must have broken the casing, which seemed very easy to do, and the battery shorted, catching fire. The phone is toast now.

[@DIYGeardo]

Have you apply lot of heat? Or was the battery was swollen before?

[@dieselduck1]

@@DIYGeardo i thought it was a fair bit of heat. Obviously not, but probably most important to highlight how sensitive the battery is, be careful with sharp tool and perhaps use alcohol to break down the glue. Battery was not damaged before I started.
