Introduzione

This is a fingerprint scanner replacement guide for the Motorola Moto G7 Play, specifically the XT1952-3 and XT1952-2. The fingerprint is an important feature for the device, as it helps provide extra security to keep files safe. If the device no longer unlocks when the sensor is touched, then it should be replaced.

Before you begin, download the Rescue and Smart Assistant app to backup your device and diagnose whether your problem is software or hardware related.

    • Turn off your device before you begin.

    • Use the iFixit pick to break the adhesive around the back case.

    • Use a heat gun, hairdryer, or iOpener to weaken the adhesive around the back case. If you're using the iOpener, please review the instructions for proper use.

    How long do you have to use the heat gun before the glue loosens?

    It's worked for me with about maybe 15-20 seconds of heating per side.

    I could not get the pick started under the cover. Ruined several tips. I started with a hair dryer and switched to a heat gun. Be careful with a heat gun! 😬

    • Detach the back case from the phone.

    • Make sure the back is opened right to left so the cable of the fingerprint scanner does not get damaged.

Do you need to replace the adhesive on the rear cover? Or is it reusable?
