My moto g Fell in water for about 10 seconds 3 days ago and it's not turning on since then! I'm from Nepal so there's no service centres here! I talked to few service centres but they aren't willing to fix the phone by themselves and said they have to send it to India.
I know it have short circuited as I've tried every possible method!
How much is my moto g2 worth now? :crying:
As I can get a good amount I am willing to buy a new one!
Please help!

Nothing
Maybe you can sell it on amazon. They usually offer good prices.

During an eventful week in Ibiza I woke up with a cracked non functioning screen SONY UK want me to send it to SBE LTD as the official service centre but I have heard many negative stories about them and it is highly unlikely they would replace it under warranty anyway I have had a recommendation to use :

Or is this an easy fix myself if so where do I get an official screen / digitizer from ? How do you successfully reseal the case as I know it is sealed with some sort of adhesive ?

Cracked just like the pics in the thread and it was in my pocket at the time no large knocks of from being dropped .............. meh .
Anyone successfully repaired it themselves or able to recommend a UK repair centre ?
Repair of mine costs 302EUR at local Sony service. There was changed the screen, the frame with sidings and buttons and the battery too (dunno why was it changed). Also had unglued the backplate, we fixed it.
I work as a mobile phone & PC tech in the UK & have to deal with SBE on a regular basis, There not as bad as people make out, Just have to remember that they will only do any work as long as the phone has not been tampered with or had physical/water damage.
If it's a cracked screen my guess is they will tell you to do one or charge you a lot for the job..

I am not looking for it to be done under warranty I am more concerned about them being competent at doing it which I have heard enough bad experiences to put me off plus as you say you deal with them regularly and state they will either tell me to do one or charge me a lot for any work done this does not instill me with any confidence being that I have been quoted £150 quid elsewhere or I can attempt it myself for the cost of parts at £100 .
Has anyone done the procedure themselves ?
Is there a guide and not the you tube disassembly one on you tube as that is not comprehensive enough ?
Any recommendations how to reseal the back plate once done ?

On any other phone I would say try it yourself but if you ever intended on using the water resistant feature of this phone I would suggest paying the extra & getting SBE to do it, that way you are still covered with Sony & and the job will definitely be done correctly

Greetings form Greece,
Need your help
After several weeks of waiting my moto X came today form US. Was so happy to have such a unique custom device!!
Once i got it from my US based friend I entred my local carrier shop to get a nano-sim, opened the box and inserted the sim to get moto X woriking.
Seconds after I left the shop the phone accidentaly fell to the pavement. I saw two small dents in the side corners and got really sad I did this to my new device.
However soon i realized that the problem was much bigger. My screen went totaly black!
There is no sign of damage or anything, just a small dent in the plastic bezel.
I am sure the phone is working, I hear sounds of booting and shutting down and I feel vibrations from the the digitizer touch.
The screen shows only some green pixels on the botom right corner.
I am really sad
Do i need a new screen or it is smth with a cable connection?
Is it reasonable for the device to be ruined form a 2 feet drop?
I am will not find any spare parts in Greece/Europe. Shall I send to my local Motorola service repair to check?
Any other memeber with similar issues.?
Please help!
go to motorola tech service, is the only solution, you need a new screen, or a new phone
Well, I feel bad for you, but you need to change either the screen or the entire phone.

I dropped my moto twice and screen is fine
I went today to the Greek local moto repair center,
First time they saw such device, they thought it is moto G.
Awaiting a call if it is a full LCD or a cable maybe. they have no idea if Motorola will provide parts.
If it is a full LCD, how easy is for me to find the part?
I have seen some lcd parts quoting around $250, (nearly the price of the device).
It is a lovely phone, in case i don't find a solution in my country shalll i try to send it to US for repair?
is anybody willing to order and send me overseas a new?
local moto cannot do anything due to lack of spare parts.
any ideas where to get an or original screen?

Hello all,
I had a nexus 5 before this phone and found google very easy to deal with when I needed to RMA. Has anyone RMAed their Z3C yet? Or a Z2 or Z1? Is Sony fairly easy to deal with?
Also, I bought the phone from Clove UK so does that change anything? Thanks.
i have to rma my z3 for the third time now since oct 2014
all 3 faults was because water under the lens
it lasts about 2 weeks till i get a new one from vodafone germany.

I know this is an old topic but I wanted to give my 2 cents anyway (I see you're from the UK, so two pence )
I've had to RMA my device 3 times as well...Sony is not nearly as easy to deal with as Google. Google would just send me a refurb device without question, often a new one. Sony on the other hand takes at least 2 weeks for the turnaround time to repair and is terrible communicating the status to you. This wouldn't be such a big deal if it was one time, but the second time they sent my phone back they had fixed my microsd flap but did nothing about the battery.
After a lot of arguing on the phone trying to explain that it was their fault they made me send it back again. Then, after I received it my camera stopped working in a few days...so here I am haha. Waiting on my 3rd and hopefully final RMA. Sony makes really great phones for the money but man oh man their customer service is the WORST. Complete broken record syndrome with any of the reps I've talked to.
hiiii guys..
Where i can purchase motherboard in cheapest rate.
what is tha cost of motherboard tell me please.
I am from Haryana, India.
Well in Bangalore, There's a dealer who does sell Moto G, G2, E,E2 compatible motherboards.
He says it works but I do not trust him (lol). And I don't think he ships to other places.
You can go to a nearby customer care centre but I doubt they'll even help you (they didn't help me with basic part replacement for my old moto e).
Plus its rare for any non company outlet to sell logic boards and even if they do it wouldn't work as well as the old one. I don't exactly know where you get a original logic board (in India).
But I've heard people paying 2500-7000 bucks(dont know from where they got it) and still not getting proper results.
So it'd be better to just buy a new phone.

How is it bricked?
Is it a soft brick?
If it is a soft brick have you tried reflashing stock firmware via fastboot?
Does it boot at ALL?

Unfortunately Motorola has not released the files "flash blank" for Moto G (2nd gen) to recover the bootloader.
There is nothing you can do today. It is a weight paper.

Good afternoon,
Friend you already managed to recover the g2 bike with this tool?
Why did you do that?!? It's probably the ONLY way to hard brick this phone.
I'll cut out all the bull**** for you: you only have one realistic option right now, and that is to load up Amazon and just order yourself a new phone. The higher end Moto G5 plus is a fair successor for around $/€250. You may sell your Moto G2 on eBay as non-functioning if you want to, even for a minimal price. $20 can mean the difference between the 2GB/16GB and 4GB/32GB configuration. And the RAM boost alone makes your next phone a hell of a lot more future - proof. Surely, more future - proof than this one. Besides, there is really no reason to keep what you have now turned into an expensive paperweight around (unless you actually need a paperweight); and, since it's quite a popular phone, you might find someone who will be willing to buy a hard bricked unit cheap for parts.
Yes, there are other things you can do such as sending it to some stranger to JTAG and *maybe* see it again after months, or order a new motherboard and pretend you'll manage to install it without messing everything else up, but these are all far from viable and likely a waste of time and money. (At this point of this phone's lifetime, saving up for an upgrade makes more sense than investing in any repair of any kind)
