The New 2019/2020 Motorola Razr Disassembly Teardown Repair Video XT20001

[@MrRickSpringfield]

Wow. The amount of engineering that went into this design is unbelievable.

[@Lvlaple4Ever]

Galaxy Fold has better engineering.

[@TheJunky228]

And that is part of why it's so expensive. Making stuff like this isn't as simple as so many seem to expect

[@NexusInsider]

I was shocked when i heard "44 screws" when he actually said "Four T4 screws" quickly lol

[@PBKreviews]

Haha, ya I need to focus a bit on speaking a bit slower :)

My external screen is cracked and I can't find a replacement one for the life of me. I'm sure I could change it but no parts available. My inside screen is still flawless after 6 months heavy use. I had a flashlight in my back pocket and sat down and the bezel must have pushed on the screen just right. 1 crack in the corner. It still works fine.

[@PBKreviews]

Ya, don't think there are any available on the market yet. If you wanted it changed, your only option seems to be to send it in to motorola to have them replace the screen.

[@tylerjackson4168]

@@PBKreviews thanks for reply, motorola wants 400 dollars to replace it. And it's just the cover not the actual screen or digitizer. Even if it is all one piece that is double what I think it should be. I have insurance but always have fixed phones myself. I will keep my fingers crossed for replacement parts to show up online or maybe buy a broken phone with a good outside screen for spare parts.

[@PBKreviews]

@@tylerjackson4168 ya that's way too much.

[@PBKreviews]

Yea, would be a tedious job

[@ohioplayer-bl9em]

Where is the sensor that says the phone is closed? Mine reads it closed when it's only 3/4 of the way closed and back open when it's fully closed. My first one did that but it was under warranty so I got a different one for free. The one is not under warranty so I'm stuck with no outside display now and I have to make sure to manually turn the screen off with the power button or it stays on while in my pocket because the sensor is telling the phone it's open.. when. It's really closed..

[@AlexCrihana-eb2jd]

Hi Q : Technically can the front screen only ( if you have one extra ) be replaced without any other extra disassembling ,just like you did in the video section ,heat up remove , watch the connectors and put it back ?

[@PBKreviews]

Yeah, you don't need to take apart anything else which isn't obstructing the part you're replacing. But also there is a small chance of shorting if the battery is still connecting if you use metal tools etc.

[@Russeljrjs]

This phone is soo complicated.. Yet surprisingly easy to be repaired

[@hamesh3474]

Today is March 6 2023. I got my Motorola RAZR 2019...in March of 2020..I've used it every day..no issues what so ever with the screen..or any issues period...I have to say that I treat the phone like I would my watch...or electronic device.. The battery is draining still as it did no issues with memory... the camera has taken some awesome sunsets..so all in all I still love the phone.. so anyone who is considering purchasing one if they are still available.. go for it 👍👌

[@manuelcastro4578]

Hi friend excellent job Would you help me with cleaning the hinges and the internal part as it has dust inside I guess and squeaks a bit Thank you for this video.

[@PBKreviews]

No problem, you would probably have to take the entire phone apart to take apart the hinges. I don't think it would be worth it, your best bet would be to send it in to motorola for service for them to either replace and fix the issue for you.

[@rishabhpurohit2663]

After re-assembly, did the middle part of the screen at the hinge bent upwards (thus the glare) or is it out of the box?

[@PBKreviews]

No it still sits down flush but is not as crease-less as it was out of the box. Motorola even states its normal to see bumps and curves and I started seeing some curves in the screen after closing and opening during the day. Doesn't look as bad in person as it does on video with all the lighting but yep. I just like how solid the body feels, very premium.
