Peter- I ordered a replacement and was able to change the battery. However, once in place, the phone would not boot up and would only show the battery icon with a question mark in it. Did you run in to this problem?

Tracy -

I had the same problem…. Will be buying a new battery, torx screwdriver, and spludger tool and replacing the battery soon. Then I can use the phone as a backup device, or a second phone (new service needed for new line), in case my new Moto X dies….
