Motorola Moto E6 Play Fingerprint Scanner Replacement

Inleiding

Use this guide to replace the fingerprint scanner in your Motorola Moto E6 Play phone (model). The fingerprint scanner is used to unlock the phone without the use of a password by recognizing the fingerprint pattern of an authorized user.

Before you begin, download the Rescue and Smart Assistant app to backup your device and diagnose whether your problem is software or hardware related.

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.
