Thanks for the tutorial. Sadly my old battery turned into a roman candle because I skipped two basic rules. 1:DISCHARGE your battery before attempting removal. 2. DO NOT USE SHARP METAL TOOLS ON A LITHIUM ION BATTERY. Amazingly even after being partly burned, my old phone still works, apart from some screen distortion where it got hot.
I wanted you to know that your extremely clear instructions also work to replace an LC40 battery on my Consumer Cellular Moto E XT2052-5, purchased Dec 18, 2020. Thank you for the video.
I tried, on my Moto Power 8, to follow the steps but with suction cup and heat gun and 6 attempts, the Moto glue is just not going to give up. At least my OEM battery is still pretty good. I guess I will return the set to Amazon. And as one person said, finding an OEM battery in the US two years after buying the phone, is nearly impossible without paying a huge markup.
My motherboard cover is held on with fucking star shaped screwdrivers, not the typical phillips. Great. Now I have to get a special screwdriver just for this phone.
encountered the same problem. if you havent fixed your phone. dont bother taking out all the screws. just break off the plastic directly around the battery on the black plastic motherboard cover. I broke off enough to replace the battery. However, I was going to replace the phone if it didn't work so bear that in mind.
@@puahaterx I needed a 2t torx screwdriver so I ordered it online. You don't need the screws because the plastic clips into place securely. I put the phone back together without the screws. They use too much adhesive. I can tell this phone was designed to BREAK if you tried replacing the battery to force you to buy a new one instead of replacing the battery. This is the last motorola phone I ever get.
