Stop dealing with a cracked Pixel 7 Pro screen, and replace it yourself!
Today, we'll guide you through the process of replacing the screen on your
Google Pixel 7 Pro! For this repair,
you will need, an anti-clamp, some isopropyl alcohol, an iOpener, a suction handle,
iFixit opening picks, tweezers, and a spudger. We also highly recommend using our FixMat,
so you stay organized during your repair, and of course, you'll will also need your
replacement screen and display adhesive. When it’s time to do your repair, be sure that
you follow the guide for this repair on our site. Not only will you find the most up-to-date ways to
repair your device, but you'll also get to read all the tips and tricks other users have used to
make the repair experience as smooth as possible. One other note- You need to calibrate your
fingerprint sensor whenever you replace the screen,
as most replacement screens come with a new fingerprint sensor pre-attached. Check out
the linked guide in the description for a complete walkthrough of that process.
Before we begin, ensure your phone's battery is below 25%, reducing the risk of fire in case
of damage. Fully power off your phone and disconnect all cables for safety.
Plastic clips and adhesive secure the Pixel 7 Pro's screen. Take note of the
screen and bezel seams. During removal, insert opening picks carefully into the bezel seam.
If your screen is cracked and you're having a hard time getting the suction cup to stick to the
screen, we recommend using some clear packing tape to help with suction cup adherence.
Lock the Anti-Clamp arms by pulling the blue handle forward. Turn the handle
360 degrees clockwise until the cups start to stretch. Ensure the suction cups stay
aligned; if they slip, loosen and realign. Heat an iOpener and thread it through the
Anti-Clamp arms. Fold the iOpener on the bottom edge, wait a minute,
and insert an opening pick when a gap is created. To prevent damage try not inserting the pick more
than ~2.5 mm and be cautious around the areas of the screen where the
screen cable and spring contacts are located. Slide the opening pick to the bottom right corner,
leaving it in place to prevent resealing. Insert a second opening pick at the bottom edge,
slicing the adhesive. Leave the pick in place, especially around the plastic clip in the bottom
left corner. Insert a third opening pick
under the bottom left corner, sliding along the left edge to release the plastic clips. Leave the
pick in the top left corner to prevent resealing. If the adhesive cools and hardens during this
process, simply reheat the screen with an iOpener or heat gun.
When slicing near the front-facing camera, use only the tip of the
opening pick. Insert a fourth pick at the top left corner and
slice the adhesive along the top edge leaving it in the top right corner.
Insert a fifth opening pick, sliding along the right edge to release the remaining adhesive
and right plastic clips. Even though the screen should be free from the case now,
do not attempt to remove the display entirely; it's still connected by a flex cable.
Lift the right edge of the screen towards the left side like opening a book while avoiding
twisting or moving it too far from the frame to prevent damage to the flex cable. Rest the
screen upside down parallel to the frame. The display cable bracket sits tightly and
requires force to release. Use tweezers to insert into the opening at the upper end,
pushing it inwards and prying up to remove it. Use a spudger to disconnect the display flex
cable by prying the connector straight up. The screen should be completely free now.
Before you install your new part, check the front-facing camera hole and sensor cutouts
for any remaining adhesive liners and remove them. You'll want to test your phone before sealing it
up. Temporarily connect your screen, power it on, and ensure it works. If everything works as
it should, power off your phone, disconnect the display, and continue with reassembly.
To reinstall new adhesive to your phone, begin by using your spudger to clean any remaining
adhesive. Then use some isopropyl alcohol and a microfiber cloth to wipe down the edges of
the phone to remove any remaining residue. Before applying the new adhesive, lay it
over the frame to find its proper orientation. Then use the pull tab on the top of the adhesive
to remove the clear backing and Lay the adhesive onto the frame, starting with the bottom edge.
Make small corrections as you go. Use a spudger or your fingers to
firmly press along the perimeter of the adhesive so that it adheres to the frame.
Go ahead and remove the main liner from the adhesive. But
don’t remove the smaller liner just yet. Now Begin reassembly by reconnecting the
display flex cable. Using a spudger, carefully pry the connector straight up. Take your time to
align it properly and gently press down on each side to secure the connection.
Lay the display cable bracket and position the opening towards the
camera. Ensure it sits securely. Now remove the remaining adhesive
liners and flip the display over onto the frame.. Gently press down along
the perimeter of the screen to secure it. Next, apply tape to the perimeter of your
rear glass and place coins or similar thick objects along the edges. Make sure they are
as thick or thicker than the camera bar. Then stack multiple books or other heavy objects
on your phone for 30 minutes or longer. As a reminder you need to calibrate your
fingerprint sensor whenever you replace the screen. We
will link to the guide in the description below. That’s it! Your Pixel 7 Pro should be ready to go.
