    • 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.

    • Press the power and volume up buttons at the same time to bring up the shutdown menu.

    • You'll be using opening picks to separate the screen from the frame. If inserted too far, a pick can damage your device. Follow this step to mark your pick and prevent damage.

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

    • Alternatively, tape a coin to a pick 3 mm from the tip.

    • Adhesive and clips secure the screen to the frame. Heating the screen softens the adhesive, making it easier to separate.

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

    • Alternatively, you can use a hair dryer, heat gun, or hot plate—but be careful as extreme heat can damage the screen and/or battery.

    From my limited experience, iOpener is a really cool thing if nothing else is available, but if possible, hair dryer will do the job much, much better. Though, with iOpener is much harder to do something wrong...

    • The next three steps demonstrate the Anti-Clamp, a tool we designed to make the opening procedure easier. If you aren't using the Anti-Clamp, skip down three steps for an alternate method.

    • For complete instructions on how to use the Anti-Clamp, check out this guide.

    • 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.

    • 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.

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

    • If the adhesive doesn't separate, twist the handle clockwise one quarter turn and wait another minute. Apply more heat if the screen cools down.

    • Insert an opening pick into the gap.

    • Don't insert your opening pick more than 3 mm to avoid damaging the spring contacts.

    • 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.

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

    • If you're having trouble creating a gap, apply more heat and try again.

    • Insert an opening pick into the gap.

    • To avoid damaging your phone, don't insert your pick more than 3 mm as you separate the screen adhesive. Note the following areas:

    • 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.

    I'd like to point out that the glass might seperate from the frame. If this is your first time opening up this phone be aware that there is a plastic frame below the glass (unlike Samsung Fold Front Display glass only type) but it might not look like it. Be careful and go deeper then you might expect you need to. Deeper as in down, not horizontally.

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

    • Gently pry up and disconnect the cable.

    • To reconnect a press connector, align it over its socket and gently press down on one side until it clicks into place, then press down on the other side. Don't press down in the middle. If the connector is misaligned, the pins can bend and cause permanent damage.

    • Remove the screen.

    • During reassembly:

    • If you replaced your screen, check the front-facing camera hole and the sensor cutout on your replacement screen, and remove any remaining liners.

    • Remember to reinstall the screen cable cover.

    • This is a good point to test your phone before sealing it up. Temporarily connect your screen, power on your phone, and make sure it works as expected. Before continuing with reassembly, power off your phone and disconnect the screen.

    • Follow this guide to replace your screen adhesive and install your screen.

    • If you're installing a new screen, follow this guide to calibrate the fingerprint sensor.

So i tried the replacement but only my 4, 5, 6 buttons press... I reordered a new screen but is there something i did wrong or break?

Jody-Ann Byfield -

before you apply the new screen, make sure the plastic housing also came off with the screen! the one that keeps the camera in place.

If you've done it correctly the camera should be kind of loose and not held in.

Same issue as the pixel 7 pro new screen does not fit!

The guide does not mention this and assumes that all of it will come off in one go. I've wasted an adhesive on this and a few hours spent scratching my head, if this isnt removed then your screen wont click in.

Hi Samuel, thank you for your comment! We'd like to update the guide to be more helpful, but just need some clarifying information. Is the housing you're talking about the small, square housing on the top of the screen, or the entire perimeter housing?

Spencer Day -

It would be nice if ifixit made picks with a physical stop so they don't slide in more than 3mm. I would imagine this would be useful for more than the Pixel phones.

megadirk -

once the new screen is placed, whenever the phone wakes up (including notifications), there is a 1 sec sharp yellow light flashed and the screen becomes normal. Does anyone has this issue after applied the new screen?

Hui Peter -

touch has delay when i placed new screen. and yes i did disable/enable the screen protector option. but my pixel 8 pro is not working fine.
