Introduzione

This guide will show each detailed step to removing and replacing the front facing in the Motorola G7 Play, model number XT1952-3 or XT1952-2. The front camera is used to take selfie photos on the phone. If the phone doesn’t have a way to capture selfie photos the front facing camera is no longer working.

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.

    I struggled at this step too. The Battery Replacement guide starts with a crucial step that's missing in this current guide: removing the SIM card.
