Phone does not charge

The phone does not charge when the charger is connected.

Faulty phone charger

Make sure the charger is working and connected. Try connecting it to other devices and check if they charge or not. If the charger doesn’t work, you should purchase a new one.

Defective battery

If you checked that your charger is working properly, but the phone still doesn’t charge, the battery could be defective. Replace your battery using this guide.

Damaged charging port

If you made sure that both your phone charger and your battery work properly, but your phone still doesn’t charge, it could mean that the charging port is damaged. Purchase a new charging port and replace the old one using this guide.

Screen does not display

The screen of your phone is not showing anything even though you know it’s on, or is either flickering or gets white when you turn it on.

Battery is dead

If the screen is black, make sure that your phone is charged so maybe that is why it’s not showing anything

Damaged screen

If your screen is flickering or it is white, the first thing you should try is to turn it off and pull out the battery (use this guide) so if it was a temporary malfunctioning it will work the next time. If this does not work, there may be a problem with the screen or there is a bad wiring holding the screen, so it is recommended to change the screen, and here is a guide on how to replace the screen on your Moto G4 Play.

After trying every way, you still get blurry photos.

Broken lens

Volume Buttons do not respond

Unable to increase or lower volume on the phone.

Can’t increase or lower the volume of the phone

Make sure that the phone is not running programs that have similar functions, because sometimes the phone won’t let you work with programs that need the same hardware component. Another issue might be that the phone doesn’t have the latest software update.

Stuck buttons due to debri

If you had your phone in a place with a lot of dirt, sand, dust or other debris it’s very likely that they have entered in your phone. Use a cotton soaked with water and rub around the button to remove the debri, and after that clean it up with a dry cotton. You can also use a compressed air can to remove the debri. If the issue persists replace the button component of the phone. You can learn how t replace this piece step by step through this guide.
