So I foolishly offered to replace the broken screen on a Nexus 6. There's a lot of screws, but really good videos and there were no big surprises.
UNTIL...
I have no idea how to get the little black rectangles of plastic back in the holes at top and bottom of the phone. I've heard them called speaker grills, which is obviously inaccurate since it is a tiny slab of plastic with no holes.
But really I don't care what you call them. NO WHERE have I found anyone talking about how to put them back. There are a lot of posts about people that had them fall out. I guess Motorola FIXED that! They were extremely difficult to push out from the back side of the old screen. Nothing I do remotely comes close to popping them in to the new screen. I'm about ready to file off the tabs and use a drop of superglue. Perhaps that is even the "approved" repair.
But if anyone knows the right way to replace these things I'd love to hear it. I am fresh out of ideas.
