Anleitung

Prepare your Pixel for disassembly
Vorsicht: Caution Let your Pixel's battery drain below 25% before starting this repair. A charged lithium‑ion battery may catch fire if damaged.

Unplug all cables from your phone.

Completely power off your phone.

Hinweis: Note Press the power and volume up buttons at the same time to bring up the shutdown menu.
Tape over any cracks
Hinweis: Note Glass shards can complicate disassembly—or worse, cause injury. If your phone has a cracked screen, follow these steps:

Apply overlapping strips of packing tape to the cracked glass until the whole screen is covered—this will allow the suction cup to stick to the screen.

Hinweis: Note Only cover the glass itself—don't stick any tape to the frame.

Consider wearing safety glasses to protect your eyes from any glass shaken free during the repair.
Step 3
Hinweis: Note Adhesive secures the screen to the frame. Heating the screen softens the adhesive, making it easier to separate.

Use a hair dryer, heat gun, or hot plate to heat the entire screen until it's almost too hot to touch.

Vorsicht: Caution Be careful not to overheat the phone—the battery and plastic components are susceptible to heat damage. Stop heating if the frame becomes too hot to touch.
Apply a suction handle
Apply a suction handle to the center of the screen's top edge.
Screen information
Vorsicht: Caution There are delicate metal spring‑contacts around the perimeter of your device. To prevent damaging them when separating the screen, don't insert your pick more than 3 mm deep.

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

Hinweis: Note Alternatively, <a href="https://guide-images.cdn.ifixit.com/igi/pQGATIGUbViSB4gB.full" target="_blank">tape a coin to a pick</a> 3 mm from the tip.
Insert an opening pick
Vorsicht: Caution Inserting an opening pick is difficult. Be patient and reheat the screen at any point if it feels stuck.

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

Insert the tip of an opening pick under the screen.

Hinweis: Note A plastic frame is attached to the backside of the display. When inserting your pick, make sure it's underneath this frame, and not between the frame and the display glass.
Separate the screen adhesive
Slide the opening pick along the top edge to separate the adhesive securing it.
Step 8
Continue sliding your opening pick around the perimeter of the screen to separate the remaining adhesive.
Prop up the screen
Flip the screen over the right edge of your phone and prop it up with the suction handle.

Vorsicht: Caution Be careful not to strain the display cable, located near the bottom right corner.

Hinweis: Note If the screen feels stuck, go back around the perimeter with an opening pick to separate any remaining adhesive.
Disconnect the screen
Use angled tweezers to pry up the top edge of the screen cable bracket.

Remove the bracket.
Step 11
Vorsicht: Caution Be very careful not to damage any of the small, surface‑mounted components around the screen's press connector.

Insert the point of a spudger under the left edge of the screen cable press connector and pry up to disconnect it.

Remove the screen.
Screen information
Vorsicht: Caution The back of the Pixel's screen is very fragile. Even a small scratch or dent can damage the screen.

Hinweis: Note To prevent damaging your screen or replacement screen:

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.
Remove all the old screen adhesive
Vorsicht: Caution When removing the screen adhesive during this step, be very careful not to damage any of the fragile components near the perimeter of the frame.

Use a spudger to scrape up and remove all the old screen adhesive from the perimeter of the frame.

Hinweis: Note This will take some time as the adhesive can be tricky to remove. Work slowly and try to roll the adhesive onto itself.

Once you've removed all the old adhesive, use isopropyl alcohol and a microfiber cloth to clean up the adhesive residue from the perimeter of the frame.

Hinweis: Note In order for the new adhesive to form a good bond, the frame needs to be completely clean of all adhesive and its residue.

Allow the frame to dry completely before continuing.
Orient the adhesive
Hinweis: Note If your replacement screen has adhesive pre‑installed, skip down seven steps. Otherwise, follow the next seven steps to install new screen adhesive.

Before applying the adhesive, make sure you know its proper orientation on the frame. Hold the adhesive over your phone to find its proper alignment.

Hinweis: Note The blue liner should be facing up, with the larger clear liner on the bottom.

The adhesive has a corresponding groove on the perimeter of the frame.

Cutouts in the blue liner correspond to spring contacts on the frame.
Apply the screen adhesive
Peel down the top half of the larger, clear liner to expose the adhesive—don't remove the whole liner yet.
Step 16
Vorsicht: Caution Take your time aligning the adhesive with the frame—it's very sticky and can't be moved after you apply it.

Hinweis: Note Keep the larger, clear liner folded towards the bottom of the phone during this step.

Lay the exposed top edge of the adhesive onto the frame, using the frame's lip to help align it.

Once the top edge is properly aligned, gently press down with your fingers to secure it in place.
Step 17
Slowly lay the rest of the adhesive onto the frame, peeling away the larger clear liner as you go.
Secure the screen adhesive
Use the flat end of a spudger to firmly press around the perimeter of the adhesive to secure it to the frame.
Step 19
Use tweezers to grip the top left corner of the blue liner and remove it.

Hinweis: Note If any of the adhesive starts to peel up with the liner, gently lay it back on the frame and use the flat end of a spudger to secure it.
Step 20
Use the flat end of a spudger to firmly press around the perimeter of the adhesive to secure it to the frame.
Connect the replacement screen
Carefully lay your replacement screen display‑side‑down just to the right of your phone so you can reconnect the cable.
Step 22
Vorsicht: Caution Be very careful not to strain the screen cable during this step. You may need to hold the screen up at an angle to help position the cable.

Align the screen press connector over its socket and gently press down on one side until it clicks into place, then press down on the other side.

Hinweis: Note Don't press down in the middle. If the connector is misaligned, the pins can bend and cause permanent damage.

Hook the bottom edge of the screen cable bracket into its cutout and firmly press down on the top edge until the bracket clicks into place.
Remove any small liners
Leave the perimeter display adhesive liners in place for now.

Thoroughly check your replacement screen for any small plastic liners (specifically near the front facing camera and screen cable) and use your fingers to remove them—you can identify the liners by their plastic pull tabs.

Vorsicht: Caution Be very careful not to damage the screen when removing the liners.
Remove the screen adhesive liner
Hinweis: Note Follow this step only if your screen has adhesive pre‑installed on the underside.

Use tweezers or your fingers to remove the two remaining blue liners from the underside of the screen.

Skip the next step.
Step 25
Hinweis: Note Follow this step if you applied screen adhesive directly to the frame.

Use tweezers or your fingers to remove the two remaining liners from the frame. You'll need to carefully hold the screen up to remove the right liner.
Secure the screen with its adhesive
Carefully flip the screen onto the frame.
Step 27
Firmly press around the perimeter of the screen to secure it to the frame.

Hinweis: Note When powering on your Pixel for the first time after your repair, make sure the phone is laying flat and nothing is touching the screen (fingers, plastic liners, screen protectors, cases).
