my moto e4 plus screen is freezing , how can we unfreeze please advise
This is the only tutorial that looks like my phone inside, even tho they’re all supposed to be Moto E4 Plus. All the ones on YouTube look different, screws in different places, etc.
Hi Brad,
Motorola released a few variants of Moto E4s. You can compare phone’s model number to figure out exactly which model you have. We unfortunately don’t have all the Motorola guides covered at this point, but we’re working on it!
