I replaced my charging port and needed to move the loudspeaker. When I put my loudspeaker back in my phone I noticed it doesn't work. I believe this also houses the vibration mechanic, and the phone vibrates.
My question is: How does the loudspeaker actually connect to the phone? From what I can see it's just a floating piece with no type of connector from this piece to the phone. I would like to verify if I may have connected it incorrectly before I purchase another loudspeaker.
I am having no luck removing the back cover on Moto edge. Can apply heat for more than 2 minutes?

You may! Heating beyond two minutes won't hurt your device; the iOpener doesn't get hot enough to do that. Apply the iOpener as long and as much as you need to loosen the adhesive.
