Hi everyone, you are on HowFixit. In this video guide, I'll show you
how to replace the battery on your Google Pixel 4 XL phone.
The following tools are required to disassemble this Google Pixel 4 XL phone:
Screwdriver Set with Torx T4 Plastic pry tools
Suction cup Plastic mediator
Tweezers Adhesive sticker
And another useful tool is a magnetic project mat. During the repair process,
don't worry about losing any screws and small parts, all of them will definitely remain on the
magnetic mat. Throughout disassembling the Google Pixel 4 XL, keep track of each screw and part so
you can put them back in the right places - this will help successfully reassemble your
smartphone. In the description, I left links where to buy all the necessary tools and parts.
Let's start disassembling the Google Pixel 4 XL phone. First, turn off your smartphone.
Use a heat gun or hair dryer to heat up the surface of the back panel.
Apply a suction cup to the back panel and press down. Pull up on
the suction cup and insert the point of a plastic mediator into the gap.
Slide the plastic mediator across the phone frame to slice the adhesive, but do not push
the mediator into the case too much, so as not to damage the internal elements of the device.
Disconnect the
battery
cable. Use only the plastic tool to pry up from its socket.
The battery is held in place with adhesive strips. The best way to remove this adhesive
strip is to cut the black pull tab where it is notched and pull each strip out individually.
Using tweezers, pull on the adhesive strip at a shallow angle with steady force.
Almost always, these adhesive strips are torn and a part remains under the
battery holding it in place. Use plastic tools to pry up and loosen the battery.
Now you can remove the battery. In the description,
I left a link where to buy a new battery for a Google Pixel 4 XL phone.
Use double-sided adhesive tape to stick the battery to the phone housing.
Before you install a back cover, let's check the phone. If everything works fine,
go ahead to the final part of the assembly.
Use isopropyl alcohol to clean off any remains adhesive.
Remove all adhesive residue from the back cover. Be careful using
metal tools to scrape away adhesive it can damage the back cover coating.
Apply new adhesive tape to the back cover.
If the back cover becomes unstuck from the phone frame,
you can additionally glue the cover with B7000 glue.
