I need a new Sims card tray for xT2271DL
Can you please send me a new phone with the same number

-
Take note of the following seams along the edge of the phone:
-
Screen seam: This seam separates the display panel from the frame. Don't pry at this seam.
-
Bezel seam: This is where the plastic back cover meets the rest of the phone. It's held in place by plastic clips. This is where you should pry.
-
-
-
Insert an opening tool in the bezel seam halfway between the bottom-right corner of the phone and the power button.
-
Insert an opening pick in the gap you just created.
This is my first phone repair using a guide like this. However, this step is...completely and totally useless! That is especially true if the battery is inflated, which is what this guide should assume is why someone would be here in the first place. Attempting to open the case on the side with the power/volume buttons just marred the plastic and accomplished nothing. I found a much easier way to get the initial opening pick inserted that doesn't damage the case: Use the SIM card slot as the entry point instead of the method shown here. You have to be gentle with the opening tool since the plastic for the slot is pretty thin, but I couldn't get in any other way. Use the blue opening tool in the SIM card slot to pull the plastic away just enough to insert the pick into the top as shown. Then go to town on popping the clips. Getting around corners with the opening picks is still really tough AND there's no mention in this guide that Motorola applied glue around the cameras.

Rest the cover parallel to the frame.
My version has a finger print scanner on the back cover and the integrated side buttons. The only connection to the back cover was the scanner. The power and volume buttons are built into the side of the frame.

I was looking for the on off volume button replacement?
Hi Stan! The volume buttons are held in the back cover, which comes off earlier in the repair. We don't have a dedicated guide to replace just the volume buttons, but, beginning at this step, you can get an idea for how to replace the buttons and their cable. If you only need to replace the plastic piece, you might start by looking at the back cover. Good luck!

Really enjoyed using your ifixit. This made it very easy to replace the camera in my Moto G. Great pictures and descriptions. My Moto G Power was a little different with a fingerprint scanner on the back and integrated side buttons in the frame. The back cover couldn't be folded out of the way until the scanner was disconnected, which couldn't be done until the MOBO cover was removed. Would like to send a pic to show.
