Hi Clay. I really like your posts and articles! Great stuff! I am replacing the speaker in my Moto G Stylus 5G 2022 Model xt2215-4 . Do you absolutely have to remove the Mother board and disconnect the battery when doing this? Even if you turn the phone off or run down the battery? The speaker as know is at the bottom of the phone below the battery and is not technically hooked up to the motherboard, so why go to all the hastle of removing it and disconnecting the battery? It looks like an easy repair just to open her up and remove the speaker compartment and pop an new one in. Why take out the motherboard? Thanks, Steve
Hey Steve! We recommend this to protect the phone as a whole when replacing a critical part such as a speaker. You're right that it does come out very easily and would be a very quick repair without first disconnecting the battery. We just don't advocate for this because of the risk of short-circuiting something on the board, or subjecting a live board to a replacement part with a lot of built-up static. If, for some reason, you can't remove the motherboard cover to access the battery connector, you can give it a shot without doing so. Just keep in mind the risks and use lots of safety practices surrounding ESD. Electrostatic Discharge
How long do I needed heated

If you're using an iOpener, apply it for two minutes. If you're using a hair dryer or heat gun, only heat it until the cover is warm to the touch.
