    • This process will almost always destroy the OLED display panel. Only proceed if you are replacing an already-broken display assembly.

    • Apply a suction cup to the heated edge of the display assembly.

    • If your display is badly cracked, covering it with a layer of clear packing tape may allow the suction cup to adhere. Alternatively, very strong tape may be used instead of the suction cup. If all else fails, you can superglue the suction cup to the broken display assembly.

    • Pull up on the suction cup with strong, steady force to create a gap between the display assembly and the frame.

    • Depending on the age of your phone, this may be difficult. If you are having trouble, apply heat to the edge and try again.

    • Insert the point of an opening pick into the gap.

    • Depending on the age of your phone, this may take significant force. If you are having trouble, apply more heat and try again.

If you’re only replacing the screen, can you just skip to Step 34?

Gerson - Antwoord

Because the front-facing camera module is partially embedded in the screen, it’s recommended that you remove it before attempting a screen repair. You won’t have to worry about damaging or realigning the module during reassembly!

Hi, I bought an OEM screen to replace my broken one: how can I make sure the OEM replacement is an original one and not simply a comaptible screen of lower quality?

Giovanni Stoto - Antwoord

If I'm only replacing the front screen which steps do I need to do and which can I skip?

Marlena Cremeens - Antwoord

The Pixel 4 XL’s layout requires the rear panel to be removed in order to disconnect the display connector, which is necessary to do prior to removing & replacing the display. This guide is that entire process, so no steps should be skipped. Happy fixing!
