For some reason, my brand new T4 screwdriver didn’t fit the 9 designated T4 screws very well—it seemed a little large. So I carefully tried the T3 screwdriver and it worked perfectly! Not sure if the head has changed sizes on those longer screws in some assemblies….

Hi Kenneth! I’m glad the T3 worked! There have been many instances with Moto phones where the screw tolerances are quite variable—they normally shows up in the T3-T4 range.
