Changement écran Google Pixel 7a

The customers screen was Spider-Webbed pretty badly, and it was a brand new phone basically so the new adhesive was very sturdy. With a few attempts at reheating well under the point you couldn't touch it and finding the text that states to start at the left side of the top speaker, it broke free. The screen was sturdy enough to apply heat and use a jimmy to pull up while attempting to evenly distribute the weight and it worked. Took some force pulling up, somewhat effort commanding to do while making sure you aren't using any part of the internal organs or cosmetic exterior as leverage. With the brand new old spidered screen now out of the way, the rest of the clean up process was a breeze. I did not quite get though why I was provided with a T2 in the screen kit that didn't fit. I am glad I had the client spend the extra for the tool kit with the T2, T3, and T4! I do have them as well in another kit, but I would rather not use a toolset designated for different tasks. Great guide and genuine parts as always. Thanks again! 1.5 Hrs.

The absolutely hardest part was getting the old screen off. Everything else was relatively easy, a bit slow trying not to damage anything. But instructions were straight forward and because my phone had all the latest updates it worked straight away especially with the finger scanner.

Ultimately I had to use a steel butter knife at the top left where the speaker phone is to pry it open. I had gotten my phone so hot that the back glass cover's glue started to separate and yet the front was still locked in like a rock.

Im a first timer doing a self repair kit and yeah hopefully won't be anytime soon in the near future took me over 2.5 hours which most of the time spent was just on the glass cover.

I bought my 7a as a discounted warranty return, and I am pretty sure the screen had already been replaced once! So I managed to crack the replacement... Repair went well total time just less than 2 hours.

Getting the screen off went easily with heat from a hairdryer and the iFixit picks. Hardest part for me was attaching the new cable and re-fitting the screen connector cover, then driving in the small screw. But I have shaky hands!

Two warnings for others:

1) I messed up by wiping alcohol onto the selfie camera while I cleaned the adhesive off the frame! Now my selfie camera is clouded around the bottom. Luckily I hardly ever use it...

2) I nearly accepted to wipe my phone while trying to re-activate the fingerprint reader. You don't need to do that! My mistake was putting the phone into "recovery mode" before plugging it into the computer. Just leave it in fastboot and the website detects that you need to re-install the fingerprint reader software. Then reboot two times and it will work.

Just replaced the screen, the screen was shattered which made it complicated. Couldn't find a way in the screen on the top. Eventually after removing small pieces of glass it was possible. I used a Jimmy to open it more and get under the screen itself then I could remove it in a few tries. Did scratch the screen a little bit, but installing was easy. The steps do not mention peeling off the blue liner of the edges of the genuine replacement screen.

Have the same experience as others with the not being able to use suction cup, and also I couldn't get the plastic pick or a craft knife further than the sides of the earpiece speaker cutout because of the shattering glass. Countinued to break the glass around the edges, ..absolutely excruciating(!) So after reading this guide I turned my phone off and started the repair at 19% battery. And when I restarted hours later (without any charging) my phone was at 100%. How, what, I really truly don't understand.. Didn't even connect a cable for the fingerprint sensor config as I don't use it. I accidentally made a scratch to the black tape/material covering the battery when removing glass, could this somehow have caused the 80% extra battery level?

Remplacement réalisé en environ 2h. Si c'était à refaire ce serait réglé en 30 min.

Le décollage n'a pas fonctionné chez moi malgré le sèche cheveux le lisseur et le iopener...

Le plus simple est de faire levier en partant du haut parleur puis j'ai arraché l'écran en faisant attention aux morceaux de verre.

Attention à bien localiser la nappe pour éviter de l'arracher et faire attention à ne pas endommager ce qu'il y derrière l'écran.

Rien de sorcier si c'est fait calmement.

Le scotch sur l'écran permets de ne pas projeter du verre partout.

Après un bon nettoyage le montage du nouvel écran est très simple. Le résultat est parfait chez moi.

Bien suivre le protocole pour installer le capteur d'empreinte, penser à installer le pilote sur Windows et activer le mode développeur sur le téléphone.

Le kit de réparation n'est pas impératif si vous avez du scotch, un embout torx T3, un tournevis plat très fin, une petite pince et un outil assez fin qui ne marque pas pour nettoyer la colle

Dispo si besoin d'aide.

I just completed this repair two days ago with the replacement screen from this site.

As others have said, removing the glue around the screen with a hair dryer seemed impossible. I ended up shattering the screen, ripping it off with knife between the glass and the foil like material, followed chiseling off any remaing glass around the edges.

Don't be be klutz like me and accidently turn the phone on while removing the screen. Keep your fingers away from the buttons.

I didn't damage anything, but I didnt know for sure until I had the new screen installed.

Once the screen was removed the install of the new one was pretty straight forward. Calibrating the finger print scanner was pretty easy too. Make sure you follow the directions in the order they are listed in this guide.

Please note, if your screen comes with the adhesive pre-installed, you will have to remove the blue liner from the edge of the back of the panel, and from the aperture for the camera (both on the back side of the screen.

Really good guide.

Minor improvement suggestions: I think it should mention the rips on the inside of the new screen tho (over the camera lens hole and around the adhesive). Also applying the suction cup centrally is not possible, considering the labels on the screen rip, but it worked equally well for the purpose applied towards the bottom of the screen.

absolutely not worth trying with the picks the ifixit kit comes with, I was hopeful but they were too thick to even fit in the earpiece let alone pry it, and pixel's adhesive is very very very strong, if your screen is shattered youre better off peeling it away, i shattered mine to peel as i was impatient for a jimmy to arrive. The rest of the process once the screen is off is well written and very easy to follow, seems to be working fine : ] I wish the kit came with a jimmy instead of iopener, seems cheaper and more helpful

hi ! screen replacement went well, the fingerprint sensor works but not the proximity sensor. did I forget to remove a protective plastic? I've read the guide again, I see no such thing but I've read about it on a pixel 5 guide.

Careful!! The guide doesn't mention that there is a sticker over the proximity sensor and it will prevent it from working if you forget to remove it. I made that mistake and now I have a phone without a working proximity sensor. I won't go through the suffering of removing the glue again

Very thorough guide, thank you.

I ended up cooking the old screen pretty good with a heat gun to get the adhesive to release- all the way to permanently changing the color and having to use rags to hold the heated phone- I'm hoping that didn't damage anything else, but TBD.

I lost the screw that holds the ribbon cable in place. It appears to be an m1x2mm, fyi.

The ribbon cable on the new screen was bent in the wrong place. So it required a little extra care and force to set the screen into place.
