Motorola One 5G Ace: Glass replacement...what should I know before trying.

Mon, 16 Feb 2026 20:38:31 -0700

Glass face only has shattered. What should I know before deciding on trying to fix it myself or have repaired.

Such as: how hard is it to open case and then close properly? Is there adhesive holding face-plate that will be compromised and so not go back together properly? Or anything to look out for when it is open and removing broken glass?

Motorola One 5G Ace: Why doesn't my phone recognize my SanDisk microSD card?

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 09:43:39 -0700

Hi, I bought a 128GB SanDisk ImageMate PRO microSDHC UHS-I Card but my phone isn't recognizing it. It states that it's "Ideal for Android devices and cameras".

I've followed multiple tutorials online but can't get it working. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

Motorola One 5G Ace: Investigating "emergency calls only" / 0 SNR

Tue, 24 Jun 2025 03:44:33 -0700

I replaced my USB / headphone jack board ("sub board") because of problems with the USB-C port.

Now, the USB-C port works well, but the phone struggles to get a mobile network connection. Indoors, both manual and automatic network selection fail (automatic: "emergency calls only", manual "Couldn't connect"). Outdoors, I get a 4G LTE connection, but bandwidth and jitter are poor, and I get 0dB SNR reported by the Network Survey app.

My guess is that there's a problem with the antenna cables.

Things I have tried so far:

Reseating both ends of the coax antenna cables (white and black)
Inspecting the cables, the PCBs, and the antenna cable connectors for damage
Changing network mode to "NR/LTE/GSM/WCDMA"
Reverting to the original sub board, to try to rule out a problem with the new board

Does anyone have any suggestions what else I could try?

This is the replacement part I used: https://www.ebay.com/itm/285156938467

And this is the guide I was following for disassembly and reassembly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ue6e6FOL...

One thing I noticed is that the replacement board is slightly different to the original – there's an additional antenna port on it (labelled "L8"), and there's seemingly a microcontroller missing vs the original. Is it possible that there are different hardware revisions here?

Motorola One 5G Ace: Moto G 5G. Broken during screen change. Not powering up, white light

Wed, 12 Jun 2024 03:38:55 -0700

I probably f***ed my phone. Screen was cracked so I bought replacement with frame. I have moved parts from old to new, tried to power up, nothing. When not connected to charger phone is completely dead, when charged there is one light that is blinking:

when just charging it lights for 7s and turn of for a second.
when trying to go into boot (volume down and power before putting charger) it does other pattern: 3s on, pause, 3s on, pause, 7s on.
without battery and connected to charger - blink of light (but weaker), pause, 7s of light

Phone was pretty low on power before my attempt of destroying it and it took me some time to work with it (screen came cracked, waited 2 days for replacement) so maybe battery doesn't have any power.

I tried to charge it through night, tried charge it with PC USB, no dice.

Help?

My rear camera just stopped functioning and I get an error code that claims I need to take it in for repairs. It shows an error code 01400001, is it possible to fix this without sending it in for repairs? I live in my phone and can't be without it for 5 plus days.

Motorola One 5G Ace: phone only shows signs of life when connected to a battery pack?

Fri, 29 Dec 2023 17:10:47 -0700

so i made the mistake of letting my phone die completely about 3 weeks ago. It hasn't turned on since, and it isnt recongizied by a computer or any charger i own, but it starts to make a quiet ticking sound using a battery pack, but it still doesn't boot in boot mode or just normal startup. it can't turn on without or with a battery and the led doesnt flash. is the phone dead or does it still have a chance?

Motorola One 5G Ace: Why will my phone not turn on?!

Sun, 09 Jul 2023 21:23:48 -0700

I had slight salt water damage to the phone and it shut off and would not turn on. I opened it up replaced the usb port/head phone jack and battery as seems like the corrosion was only in that section after removing mother board as well. I try to turn back on by holding power button for ten seconds and get white light indicator at top and then a vibration and nothing else. If I continue holding the same thing happens. When I plug into usb to charge or get on PC, just a vibration. My goal is to get photos off... Help please?

Motorola One 5G Ace: Is the inside of my phone broken?

Sun, 23 Apr 2023 10:22:12 -0700

So a while ago about a year I broke my phone I mean millions of cracks and I got a kinda see through grey square. And I have a option to get my phone fixed, but if they open it and the inside it damaged they can't fix it, and I don't have a phone they can't put it back together. So is that grey see through square mean that the inside of my phone is permanently broken, and cannot be fixed? Please help I have to make this decision soon and I'm nervous to lose my phone forever

Motorola One 5G Ace: What are the contact points on the mainboard?

Sun, 15 Jan 2023 19:10:54 -0700

The contact point (bent over piece of metal with copper ball) just above and to the right of the black wire cable came off of the mainboard. What does this do and how should it be reattached? It contacts plastic on the board frame so I can't understand what it does. Is it just a spacer?
