Near the dock connector toward the bottom of the
Moto G, insert the precision knife in the seam between
the front housing/frame and rear case.
This is a very tight seam so the use of the precision
knife is advised as oppose to the plastic opening tool.
1.
Once you have the first clip free, you can continue the
separation with your plastic opening tool. Work your
way around the entire smartphone, gently freeing the
clips until the rear case is removed.
2.
Next, locate and remove the fourteen T5 torx screws
that secure the protective cover/rear housing to the
front housing/frame (marked with orange circles).
You can now remove the protective cover/rear housing
from the Moto G (make sure to keep track of the power
& volume buttons).

Now, locate the locking socket for the display assembly
ribbon cable. To release the cable, lift the opposite side
of the locking socket 90 degrees. You can now
disconnect the ribbon cable.

The ribbon cable for the display assembly is secured to
the motherboard with adhesive. Utilize the heat gun to
soften the adhesive, making it easier to pry up the
cable from the motherboard.
8.
Next, utilize the flat side of the nylon spudger to
carefully remove the motherboard. Gently work the
spudger between the motherboard and the display
assembly/front housing to remove it from the Moto G.

The earpiece speaker is secured in its location with a
small amount of adhesive. Use your fine tip curved
tweezers to easily remove it from the Motorola
smartphone.
10.
At this time, the display assembly (LCD & touch screen)
is fused together and cannot be separated. It is secured
to the front housing/frame of the smartphone with a
generous amount of adhesive that will require heat and
patience to separate.
This procedure is only recommended on a Moto G
with a damaged screen that requires replacement.
Use the heat gun to begin warming up the adhesive
securing the LCD & touch screen digitizer assembly to
the smartphone’s front housing/frame.
11.
To begin separation of the display assembly from the
Moto G front housing/frame, securely grip the sides of
the smartphone and slip the precision knife under the
display assembly.
