Anleitung

1. Prepare your Pixel for disassembly

   • 
   • 
   • 

   Unplug all cables from your phone.

   Completely power off your phone.

2. Mark your opening picks

   • 
   • 
   • 

   Measure 3 mm from the tip and mark the opening pick with a permanent marker.

3. Tape over a cracked screen

   • 
   • 

   Apply overlapping strips of packing tape to the cracked glass until the whole screen is covered.

   Wear safety glasses to protect your eyes from any glass shaken free during the repair.

4. Heat the bottom edge adhesive

   • 

   Heat an iOpener and lay it on the bottom edge of the screen for two minutes to soften the adhesive.

5. Secure the Anti-Clamp

   • 
   • 
   • 

   Pull the blue handle backwards to unlock the Anti-Clamp's arms.

   Place your phone screen side up on an object so it will rest level between the Anti-Clamp's arms—the bottom edge should be hanging off.

   Slide the arms over the left edge of your phone, so you have access to the bottom edge.

   Position the suction cups as close to the center of the bottom edge as possible.

   Squeeze the cups together to create suction.

6. Twist the handle

   • 
   • 
   • 

   Pull the handle forward to lock the arms.

   Turn the handle clockwise one full turn (360 degrees), or until the suction cups begin to stretch.

   As the cups stretch, make sure they stay aligned with each other. If they keep slipping, remove the Anti-Clamp and apply tape for the cups to stick to.

7. Insert an opening pick

   • 
   • 
   • 

   Wait one minute for a gap to form between the screen and frame.

   Insert an opening pick into the gap.

   Pull the blue handle backwards to unlock the arms and remove the Anti-Clamp using the pull tabs on the suction cups.

   Skip the next two steps.

8. Apply a suction cup

   • 
   • 

   Apply a suction handle to the center of the screen's bottom edge.

9. Insert an opening pick

   • 
   • 
   • 

   Pull up on the suction handle with strong, steady force until a gap forms between the screen and frame.

   Insert an opening pick into the gap.

10. Prevent damage to your phone

    • 
    • 

    The screen cable is a little less than halfway up the left edge of the phone. Be very careful here to avoid tearing the cable.

    There are many spring contacts around the perimeter of the phone. Be very careful in these areas to avoid bending the contacts.

11. Separate the bottom edge adhesive

    • 
    • 
    • 

    Slide the opening pick along the bottom edge to separate the adhesive securing it.

    Leave the pick in the bottom right corner to prevent the adhesive from resealing.

12. Heat the right edge adhesive

    • 

    Apply a heated iOpener to the right edge of the screen for two minutes.

13. Separate the right edge adhesive

    • 
    • 
    • 

    Insert a second opening pick under the bottom right corner of the screen.

    Slide the new pick to the top right corner to separate the adhesive securing the screen's right edge.

    Leave the pick in the top right corner to prevent the adhesive from resealing.

14. Leave a pick in the bottom left corner

    • 
    • 
    • 

    Insert a third opening pick under the bottom edge of the screen.

    Slide the new pick to the bottom left corner.

    Leave the pick in the bottom left corner to prevent the adhesive from resealing.

15. Heat the left edge adhesive

    • 

    Apply a heated iOpener to the left edge of the screen for two minutes.

16. Separate the left edge adhesive

    • 
    • 
    • 

    Insert a fourth opening pick under the bottom left corner of the screen.

    Slide the new pick to the top left corner to separate the adhesive securing the screen's left edge.

    Leave the pick in the top left corner to prevent the adhesive from resealing.

17. Heat the top edge adhesive

    • 

    Apply a heated iOpener to the top edge of the screen for two minutes.

18. Separate the top edge adhesive

    • 
    • 

    Insert a fifth opening pick under the top edge of the screen, near the left corner.

    Slide the opening pick to the top right corner to separate the adhesive securing the screen's top edge.

19. Prop up the screen

    • 
    • 

    Place a small box or stack of books to the left of your phone so you can prop up the screen while disconnecting its cable.

    Swing up the right edge of the screen like the front cover of a book.

    Prop up the screen so you can access the screen cable without straining it.

20. Remove the screen cable cover

    • 
    • 
    • 

    Use an opening tool to pry up the upper edge of the screen cable cover.

    Remove the cover.

21. Disconnect the screen

    • 
    • 
    • 

    Insert the point of a spudger under the top right corner of the screen's press connector.

    Gently pry up and disconnect the cable.

    Remove the screen.

22. Screen information

    • 

    When handling your screen, grip it by its edges.

    When placing the screen on your work area, make sure nothing is touching the bottom of the screen. Consider placing it on a soft, lint-free cloth.

23. Reassembly information

    • 
    • 
    • 

    Thoroughly check the entire screen for any plastic liners or tape and use the pull tabs to remove all of them. Look carefully for a large piece of plastic covering the back of the screen, a small one near the front camera cutout, and adhesive liners around the perimeter.

    Reconnect the screen cable and reinstall its cover.

    Firmly press the screen into place on the frame—you should feel the clips "pop" into place.

    Press firmly around the perimeter of the screen to secure it with the new adhesive.

    Follow this guide to calibrate the fingerprint sensor.
