Motorola Moto Z Play Screen Replacement (Fix Your Broken Display!)

[@ChrsitopherC]

In early 2019, I was working at an arena part time teaching hockey lessons, coaching, ice maint, etc. My phone vibrated off the players bench and landed on the ice when the zamboni was coming by. I watched by Moto Play Z get ran over by the front drivers side tire (spiked) and get thrown across the ice by the hydraulic board runner sweeper. Surprisingly, the phone would still turn on and off and the shake to come on flashlight worked..so I knew the phone was still good, just the screen was shattered. I attempted to plug it into my lap top, but I couldn't enable the USB mode..so I tossed it in a drawer and forgot about it. I found the phone again when we moved and I bought a new screen. This video and your help with the instructions and some patience allowed me to get the 2000+ photos of concerts and, most importantly, my family downloaded off the phone. Total cost was $37.00 for a new screen off ebay and $4.89 for some glue. I play guitar so I had the pick's..Thank you for this. What a memory saver!

A few years ago i ran my moto z over with a fedex truck destroying the speaker and the screen. Your video helped me repair the screen today and it works great! Thank you!

Hello @real world review, thank you very much for this video. After watching this, I've bought a new display screen for my moto z play, and following your instructions in this video i've replaced the broken one with ease, yeah, by myself! Thanks a million. God bless.

Great video. Good photography, very clear in your steps and explanations. Can't tell you how many KZbin vids are almost unintelligible and poorly filmed. Question: I can only find the T7000 online and it's a 2 week to month wait. I found E6000 locally. Would that work? It doesn't specifically say on the packaging that it will glue plastic, but it does have the nice needle tip applicator.

[@oldMK1]

Yes, in the description, it says B7000 or E6000 will also work...

[@mikaellahpongos1921]

Your video is very informative! Just a quick question, my motorola moto z play can't be touched right now because just threw it after having a quarrel with someone in the house.. but the screen is working the only problem is it can't be touched.. do i need to replace a new screen or there is another way to fix this? your replyy would greatly helpp

[@feelthepayne88]

Excellent walkthrough! Instead of having to buy a new phone, $55 for a new screen and $12 for a tube of glue and my phone is good as new! Thank you!

[@climbergreenO]

new moto z play cost $58 at amazon

[@endlesstwisties]

Nice job. Can't wait for my display from alliexpress. I think is complete with all i need. Never did this before Screen was so cracked i could only take it off in small pieces

[@nascarnbroncosfans6055]

does this screen change out work the same - connections the same as a Moto Z4?

[@drallab06]

you da man! thanks. saved my kids baby pics

[@oleksandrsamoilenko2523]

hi! my screen is broken after my phone felt down, how can i check, that my hardware and system are ok? i would like to know it before replacement. thank you

[@DragonProtector]

so i accidentally broke the plastic connector to hold down the ribbon cable for display. Is there anyway I can fix this or find a way to get it to work?

[@TheFirstEskimo]

Can I use Suxun B-7000 adhesive to glue the screen down? It is clear not black

[@RealWorldReview]

Yeah, that should be fine. I have some of that brand and it works fine.

[@oldMK1]

My screen has popped up on the long sides. Question - the left side is worse, and feels under more tension when I try to press it down. Is this normal?! Just ordered tools, glue, etc., to fix it, but that left side doesn't seem to want to go down easily...

[@RealWorldReview]

Means you need a new battery, don't push on that side until you get a new battery in there

[@oldMK1]

@@RealWorldReview ... Oh, geez! Can I replace THAT myself?! If so, any recommendations on where to get one for a good price?

[@oldMK1]

OK, found one (on Amazon, of course) that seems good. Now, just need a video for that! ($22 for what looks like the highest-rated one on there, 3300 mAh, guess we'll see...)

[@RealWorldReview]

Seems good, I was looking for a repair video of mine, but it seems I have it, but I am not finished editing it lol, but the battery removal process is similar to my Moto Z battery replacement video, if you want to check that out once you remove the screen.

[@stephanieschalau2340]

hi there so i put the new screen on and it works but the touch does not any help ?

[@evochic287]

Could be bad screen. Or just disconnect reconnect all the cables. Maybe even a hard restart of the phone.

[@anshumanrathore428]

From where did you get display? Is it Amoled display??

[@roadtripdave6188]

Where can you get the front glass at.

[@endlesstwisties]

Alliexpress. 28$ + 1.5$ glue from the same store so you get all in one box. I think free shipping

[@pku2death]

Hello, what if half of the screen is working, but the other half of the screen is pure white after I did the replacement. What could I have done wrong for this to occur? Thank you

[@RealWorldReview]

Maybe it's not plugged in properly or the screen was damage. Try unplugging the screen and plugging it back in again. If it doesn't work, get another display

[@KitoNqn]

Hi! I changed the battery, but after that the screen doesn't work, but the touch screen works. I don´t have image. What can be?

[@Jacksie9098]

You need a new screen like the one he just replaced.

[@DJMILKCANON]

Instead of using a heat gun, could I maybe leave my phone on my car dash board in the sun? Would that be too much heat?

[@RealWorldReview]

That might not be enough heat

[@ajayakumarswain2258]

What is the original super amoled display price??

[@nooralikhan8834]

Hello they display it's Amoled?

Yes

[@xynostasos9022]

@@RealWorldReview where did you buy the display from? I'm searching for the original part but I can only find some counterfeit LCD modules, not the AMOLED ones...

[@gielvandanu]

what if i dont have the heater like you do?

[@RealWorldReview]

It'll be a little bit difficult to remove. But the heaters are cheap, like less than $20. I updated the description with more links to parts and useful stuff.

[@nostalgic90s96]

Hair Dryer could work. If it comes off hard, apply more heat. Good luck!

[@RealWorldReview]

If the screen is broken and you're not trying to preserve the screen, a hair dryer will work. Just wear some protective glasses!

[@evochic287]

Buy a new phone what pain in a Great video

[@danielakinoshita]

can i use a hair dryer?

[@dperez631]

I used a hair dryer on the exact phone.

[@x-saber9722]

My moto will turn on but it's cracked and it will not show the screen

[@RealWorldReview]

Then this video should help!
