The Motorola Moto G40 Fusion's disassembly process is a complex procedure that requires precision and patience. To begin, the SIM card tray must be removed, followed by prying off the back housing with a plastic tool. Once loose, applying heat will help release the adhesive, allowing for easy removal of the fingerprint reader and back housing. This exposes various components, including the LED flash, camera lenses, battery cable, and more. The process is detailed and involved, requiring careful attention to each step to avoid damage.
