To my knowledge, there isn’t a great way to accomplish this. I’ve never had to repair a Moto X. However, As someone who deals with this issue on a weekly basis, here’s what I recommend. Make sure the grill is a straight as possible, use a pair of tweezers to gently position the grill over it’s position. If possible, use the point of your tweezers to pinch the edges of the grill in between the speaker and phone housing. A nylon spudger is also an option if you have enough clearance, and I have been known to use a razor blade from time to time, but I have ruined more grills than I have saved with that tool. In many cases, it is advisable to dab a tiny bit of adhesive on each end to get it to stick. If you go the adhesive rout be sure to use something that isn’t too viscous but dries clear and quick. I hope this helps. -CW

Unless you dropped it in a pit of lava, or it got wet while powered on, I highly doubt it’s scrap. I would take it to someone who specializes in hardware repairs for electronics. Let me know if you need help locating a reputable place. Cheers, CW

Hi Lou, The audio jack and microphones are all part of the lightning connector assembly. Parts and tools can be found here: iPhone 6s Plus Lightning Connector and Headphone Jack This can job can be tedious, be sure to take your time. As far as the glass is concerned.. Hypothetically you might be able to get a way with reusing the broken screen. I strongly advise against it. Usually cracks become worse during screen assembly removal. Good Luck, CW

Slow crank cold start is indicative of low cranking amps. The battery is likely nearing the end of it’s life. I would recommend having the battery tested.

Hello William, you are correct. The best way to gain access is by removing the rear cover. There are no specialty tools or suctipn cups required. Once the rear cover is off, remove the 1 or 2 screws holding the hard drive housing in place. There may he a few screws holding the drive in the housing as well. There is usually clasp or handle at the top fo the housing that neede 5o be properly positioned in order for the HD to be removed. Overall, its a fairly straightforward process. You should be able to compete the job with a Philips screwdriver and ESD protection.

I have never run into this problem specifically on an iPhone 5s. However, (assuming you've already power cycled the phone) I would plug in a pair of headphones and unplug them first. If the problem persists do a backup and restore. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks, CW

I have only taken apart a few PS3's so this is my best advice based on the situation. You may want to take it to a local repair shop. Does this sound like a gear issue or something was shoved in there, any testing I can do to tell? In my opinion yes, it sounds like either the bands, or gears have broken at some point. I know the PS3 has known ejector problems as well. Anything else I can try to get this to work before opening it up? To my knowledge there is no ejector pin for this drive (you can double check) Theoretically if there was an ejector pin on the drive door, you could insert a paper clip, and physically force the door open. You can also follow the guide, and take the drive apart, if you're willing to spend the time. I happen to have an old playstation 3 fat with a bad motherboard, are the blu-ray drives the same for both or could I somehow retrofit the PS3 fat drive into my slim? I do know that the drives have 2 different part numbers, I don't know of anyone who has tried to put a fat drive in a...

Sounds like a provisioning problem. Go to Settings > General > Reset > tap "Reset Network Settings". The phone will automatically restart. Let me know if this solves your issue.

I'm nearly 100% certain it's the y-sustain board. "Loud pop sound" is dead giveaway. I heard this complaint at least a dozen times with HP TV's specifically back in the day. If you spend some time on Google I'm sure you'll come to the same conclusion. Like I said, it was a very common issue.

Love this phone... So MODULAR! Thanks for the guide.. Had to double-check when I was pulling it apart.. almost seemed too easy.

Having the same problem as Kaspar. Cannot re-install sleep/wake sensor.
