Introduction

Before using this guide, try this forum, which contains suggestions for fixing the fingerprint scanner by entering safe mode or doing a factory reset. Keep in mind that this forum post is referring to the Moto G4 Plus, which is a slightly different phone. Despite this, the devices are similar enough for forum’s suggestions to be helpful if you are experiencing a software issue. However, if your fingerprint scanner no longer functions due to a possible hardware issue, the physical component may need to be replaced.

Before beginning any repairs, completely power off the phone and disconnect it from any external power, like a charger.

What you need

Step 1

              Back Cover

Run the halberd spudger along the edges of the device. The back cover should easily pop off.
Gently remove the back cover. Do not pull hard, as it is still connected to the fingerprint scanner inside the phone.
