Introduction

    • Power off your phone before you complete any replacement steps.

  2. UAUuWV2TwUlUOp2m

    • Heat the edges of your Motorola Moto Z2 Play screen for two to three minutes with a heat gun. You adjust the heat gun to 85 degrees centigrade, and be careful not to hold the heat gun on one position for too long; to avoid damaging, or "hotspotting" the LCD. The screen should be very warm, but not painful, to the touch. Reheat as necessary.

    • If screen is cracked put strong adhesive tape across the screen in order to avoid breaking the screen further and receiving cuts.

    • If you don’t have access to a heat gun, a hair dryer can be used.

    • Place suction cup in the middle of the screen and press down.

    • Pry the screen by wedging the plastic opening tool under the screen at the charging port.

    • Work your way around the screen with the plastic opening tool.

    • When you pry near the top-right and bottom-right corners, be careful not to pry too far, or you risk damaging the display cable.

    • Complete these steps carefully because the screen is delicate and can easily crack. If the screen begins to resist prying, reheat the adhesive with your heat gun.

    • Use a suction cup to lift up screen from left to right.

    • If you don’t have a suction cup, wedge a spudger or a small plastic card under the screen and lift slowly.

    • Failure to lift screen from left to right can cause damage to interior wires of your phone.

    • Identify ribbon connector at the top right of the phone.

    • Pry the black locking bar up gently with a plastic opening tool.

    • Remove the ribbon wires by pulling them out of the connector with a tweezer.

    • The locking bar is the small black bar located on the digitizer’s ZIF connector.

    • Be sure to push the locking bar back down using a spudger after you put the ribbon wire back in since the lock does not lock automatically.

    • Identify the ribbon cable, located at the bottom right of the phone.

    • If present, remove kapton (orange) tape covering the cable connector.

    • Flip up the small locking flap on the ZIF connector and use tweezers to slide the cable straight out of its socket.

    • Excessive force is not needed.

    • Lift the screen from the phone to completely detach.

    • If screen doesn't detach, go back to step 7 and 8 to make sure the bar is unlocked and ribbon connector is fully detached.

    • During reassembly, you may need to apply or replace the display adhesive on your display assembly. Use our display adhesive application guide to apply the adhesive and reseal your device.
