Google Pixel 3a XL Screen Replacement

Stap 1 Screen




• In the following steps, you will be removing the Pixel 3a's screen by cutting through the adhesive holding it in place.
• For reference, the backside of the screen is shown in this step.
• Note the narrow clearance between the edge of the screen and the OLED panel under the glass. If you plan to re-use your screen, be sure to follow the instructions below closely.
• Also note the two different seams between the body of the phone and the screen:
• The screen seam: where the screen meets the rest of the phone. This is where the screen will separate, and where you should pry.
• The midframe seam: where the midframe meets the body of the phone. This part is held down by screws. Do not pry at this seam.

Stap 3
• In the next step you will insert an opening pick between the screen and the plastic body of the phone.
• If you aren't careful, the plastic opening tool can damage the fragile OLED display panel underneath the glass.
• If you want to re-use your phone's screen, make sure you insert your pick at a downward angle, as shown in the second photo of this step.
• This will ensure the opening pick slides under the OLED panel rather than between the glass and the panel, which will ruin the screen.

Stap 4
• Pull up on the suction cup with a strong, steady force to create a gap between the screen and the phone.
• Insert your opening pick into the gap.
• Stop if you feel the tip of the pick hitting against something. The pick may be pressing against the edge of the OLED panel. Angle the pick downward and try again.
• Once you have inserted an opening pick, you can remove the suction cup.

Stap 6
• The adhesive holding the top and bottom edges of the screen in place is thicker, and considerably stronger than the thin strips holding the sides in place.
• If you plan to reuse your screen, heat up the top edge of the phone with an iOpener, a heat gun, or a hair dryer to loosen the adhesive there before you begin slicing.

Stap 7
• Carefully slide your opening pick around the upper-right-hand corner of the screen.
• As shown in step one, the gap between the display and the edge of the glass screen is larger here than on the sides.
• If you plan to reuse your screen, take special care in this step to either keep your pick deep in the phone under the OLED display (as shown in this step's photos), or only insert it 5 mm into the device to avoid coming into contact with the display under the glass.

• Continue to separate the adhesive along the top edge of the display.
• As you slice along this edge, you may bump into the camera and proximity sensor housed here. Don't pry aggressively, just work around them.

• Remove the two 4.3mm T3 screws holding the display cable bracket in place.
• Due to manufacturing tolerances, a T4 Torx driver may fit better into these T3 screws.
• Throughout this repair, keep track of each screw and make sure it goes back exactly where it came from.

Stap 15
• Remove the display cable bracket.
• Pry up on the cable connector with the pointy end of a spudger to disconnect the screen from the phone.
• When you disconnect connectors like these, be careful not to dislodge the small surface-mounted components surrounding the socket.
• To re-attach press connectors like this one, carefully align and press down on one side until it clicks into place, then repeat on the other side. Do not press down on the middle. If the connector is misaligned, the pins can bend, causing permanent damage.

Gereedschap gebruikt in deze stap:
Tesa 61395 Tape
$5.99
Koop
• To reinstall the screen:
• Use tweezers or an opening tool to remove all traces of adhesive from the phone frame. You can use high concentration isopropyl alcohol to help with the cleaning.
• If you plan to re-use the screen, be sure to remove all adhesive residue from the screen. Be careful with metal tools to avoid scratching the screen.
• Apply pre-cut adhesive or double-sided tape (such as Tesa tape) to re-attach the screen to the frame.
• During the boot-up process after reassembly, the screen will go through a calibration sequence. Do not touch the screen during this process, as it could result in improper touch calibration and create touch issues.
