Introduction

If you find a part, it may not have a fingerprint sensor on it, so you may need to take it off the old plastic plating and put it on the new one. You can look at the fingerprint sensor replacement guide for that.

What you need

Step 1

              Power Off               

• Be sure that your BLU R2 Plus is completely powered off and has less than 25% battery left. This will lower the chance of your battery catching fire and your logic board/motherboard shorting out.
