At the power, volume buttons’ side to the very bottom, there is a metal piece seen smaller than the volume button and aligned with a flat large side to the display frame’s edge when projecting it to 2D.

This one is exactly like the other magnet that came loose such that that it may mean that these two magnets belong together to snap into contact (or to ensure alignment by repulsion?).

The part can also be seen on this picture opposite to the right top corner of the square (exactly horizontally mirrored):

eunity3d,
thank you for the detailed instructions, found it when searching for a small metal rectangle that seemed glued to the mother board or display. When reassembling then motherboard into the frame, the magnet popped off the right or left edges. (I believe i was the side of the power, volume buttons.)

The phone seems to work without it. This metal recrtangle must have a purpose though.

Hmmm, I’d wonder if the original (broken) screen was partially showing an image/reponding to touch ? If it was responding, and still does, then the issue would be with the replacement screen’s touch portion/ribbon not working/connected. Else, if neither the original or the replacement’s touch portions are working, then it’s possibly the phone’s connector for the touch screen ribbon, which has gone south…

I just replaced my screen and everything is displaying beautifully, however, it is not responding to touch, so it is useless because I can’t do anything. I’ve checked the connections many times and don’t see any issues. Any ideas????

Hmmm, From my expertise, I think that your phone’s screen may not be the issue, but rather the slot where the ribbon cable pushes in, or the phone’s video or graphics system itself.
Good Luck!

In my repairs of the Moto G, I found that the phone might not boot, but yours seems to be starting up. I’d recommend checking each ribbon cable for tears, and for a solid connection, so to speak of the ribbon itself. Make sure the ends of the ribbons are as deep into the receiving slots as possible. Good Luck!

Hi,
I replaced the screen and is not working. The phone boots because I listen the vibration but the screen remains in black.
The screen replacement have the speaker and I have not taken out as you in step 11.

I’ve had several issues trying to fix a friends Moto G. The main issue I have now is the screen shows nothing but a snowy type white noise just like old fashioned rear projection TVs used to do when the aerial was unplugged. I bought another screen but the same thing happens. Any ideas?

Hi Neuralnet,

Thanks for the comments and question. I think your screen’s lcd should be tested on another phone, or perhaps the phone’s logic board (mainboard/motherboard’s) connection to the lcd screen is not clipped in, or connected fully? I got this sort of screen, before fully connecting the lcd screen cable into the back of the phone, all the way in.
Hope this helps!
