Google Pixel 6 Pro Rear Camera Replacement

Introduction

This repair guide was authored by the iFixit staff and hasn’t been endorsed by Google. Learn more about our repair guides here.

Use this guide to remove or replace the rear camera assembly in your Google Pixel 6 Pro.

For your safety, discharge the battery below 25% before disassembling your phone. This reduces the risk of a dangerous thermal event if the battery is accidentally damaged during the repair. If your battery is swollen, take appropriate precautions.

Caution: The Pixel 6 Pro contains class 1 lasers. Disassembly could result in exposure to invisible infrared laser emissions.

Retaining water resistance after the repair will depend on how well you reapply the adhesive, but your device will lose its IP (Ingress Protection) rating.

You’ll need replacement adhesive to reattach components when reassembling the device.

    • The next three steps demonstrate the Anti-Clamp, a tool we designed to make the opening procedure easier. If you aren't using the Anti-Clamp, skip down three steps for an alternate method.

    • For complete instructions on how to use the Anti-Clamp, check out this guide.

    • If your screen is cracked, cover it with a layer of clear packing tape to help the suction cup adhere.

    • Pull the blue handle backwards to unlock the Anti-Clamp's arms.

    • Slide the arms over either the left or right edge of your phone.

    • Position the suction cups near the bottom edge of the phone—one on the front, and one on the back.

    • Squeeze the cups together to apply suction.

    • If you find that the surface of your phone is too slippery for the Anti-Clamp to hold onto, you can use tape to create a grippier surface.

    • Pull the blue handle forward to lock the arms.

    • Turn the handle clockwise 360 degrees or until the cups start to stretch.

    • Make sure the suction cups remain aligned with each other. If they begin to slip out of alignment, loosen the suction cups slightly and realign the arms.

    • Heat an iOpener and thread it through the arms of the Anti-Clamp.

    • You can also use a hair dryer or heat gun—but extreme heat can damage the display and/or internal battery, so proceed with care.

    • Fold the iOpener so it lays on the bottom edge of the phone.

    • Wait one minute to give the adhesive a chance to release and present an opening gap.

    • Insert an opening pick under the screen frame when the Anti-Clamp creates a large enough gap.

    • If the Anti-Clamp doesn't create a sufficient gap, apply more heat to the area and rotate the handle clockwise half a turn.

    • Don't crank more than a half a turn at a time, and wait one minute between turns. Let the Anti-Clamp and time do the work for you.

    • Skip the next two steps.

    Modifier

  5. Google Pixel 6 Pro Rear Camera Replacement, Loosen the display adhesive: étape 5, image 1 de 1

    • Apply a heated iOpener to the screen to loosen the adhesive underneath. Apply the iOpener for at least 3 minutes.

    • A hair dryer, heat gun, or hot plate may also be used, but be careful not to overheat the device.

    • Once the screen is warm to the touch, apply a suction handle to the bottom edge of the screen.

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

    • Lift the screen including its safety frame with the suction handle to create a small gap between the screen and the phone assembly.

    • Insert an opening pick into the gap between the screen frame and the phone assembly.

    • Make sure to insert your opening pick in the right position to avoid separating the screen from its safety frame instead of the phone assembly.

    • Slide the opening pick to the bottom left corner of the screen to slice its adhesive.

    • Leave the opening pick in place to prevent the adhesive from resealing.

    Modifier

  7. Google Pixel 6 Pro Rear Camera Replacement, Slice the adhesive: étape 7, image 1 de 2 Google Pixel 6 Pro Rear Camera Replacement, Slice the adhesive: étape 7, image 2 de 2

    • Insert a second opening pick at the bottom edge and slide it to the bottom right corner of the screen to slice the adhesive.

    • Leave the opening pick in place to prevent the adhesive from resealing.

    • The screen of the Google Pixel 6 Pro is not only held in place by adhesive but also small plastic pins. In case your opening pick gets blocked during the screen removal procedure it means you inserted your pick too deep underneath the screen. Only insert the tip of the opening pick (~3-4 mm) when slicing the display adhesive.

    • Insert a third opening pick underneath the bottom left corner of the screen.

    • Slide the opening pick along the left edge of the screen to slice the adhesive.

    • Leave the opening pick in the top left corner to prevent the adhesive from resealing.

    Modifier

  9. Google Pixel 6 Pro Rear Camera Replacement: étape 9, image 1 de 2 Google Pixel 6 Pro Rear Camera Replacement: étape 9, image 2 de 2

    • If the adhesive becomes hard to cut, it has most likely cooled down. Use your iOpener or heat gun for 1-2 minutes to reheat it.

    • When you slice near the front facing camera, insert only the tip of the opening pick (~2-3 mm) to avoid damaging or smearing the camera.

    • Insert a fourth opening pick at the top left corner of the screen.

    • Slide the opening pick along the top edge of the phone to slice the adhesive.

    • Leave the opening pick in the top right corner to prevent the adhesive from resealing.

    Modifier

  10. Google Pixel 6 Pro Rear Camera Replacement: étape 10, image 1 de 2 Google Pixel 6 Pro Rear Camera Replacement: étape 10, image 2 de 2

    • Insert a fifth opening pick and slide it along the right edge of the phone to slice the remaining adhesive.

    • Do not try to remove the display all the way yet, the screen is still connected to the phone assembly.

    • Use a Torx T3 screwdriver to remove the 2.0 mm-long 3IP Torx Plus screw securing the display cable metal bracket.

    • Throughout this repair, keep track of each screw and make sure it goes back exactly where it came from.

    • Remove the screen.

    • If you replaced the screen, check the screen's front-facing camera hole and sensor cutout for any protective liners. Remove these liners before you close the phone up.

    • Remember to reinstall the display cable bracket.

    • This is a good point to test your phone before sealing it up. Temporarily connect your screen, power on your phone, and make sure it works as expected. Before continuing with reassembly, power off your phone and disconnect the screen.

    • Follow this guide if you're using custom-cut adhesives for your device.

    • Follow this guide in case you're using a pre-cut adhesive card.

    • If you want to replace your battery it's enough to peel the bottom part of the graphite film off the battery. If you want to replace your rear camera you need to remove it completely. In case you only want to replace the earpiece speaker or the front facing camera, you can leave it in its place.

    • Use a pair of blunt nose tweezers or a clean fingernail to carefully peel the black graphite film off the top right corner of the battery.

    • Fold the graphite film in direction of the selfie camera to get free access to the battery.

I just read that the camera has to be "paired" with the motherboard using software. It may work after a replacement and not calibrating, but will not render as-good of pictures. This came from a leaked repair manual from google. What do you say of this? Also, do you need to re-use the graphite and copper tape? https://repair.wiki/w/Google_Pixel_6_Pro...

Michael Carton - Réponse

it's actually says that swapping a camera between production models can cause issues because they are somehow paired to the mainboard but the GEO replacement ones exist specifically to get around this problem but it would seem what they have done is made it so you can't get a broken pixel 6pro take its good working camera and fix another pixel 6 pro with it because of the pairing issue from factory it's a massive d!ck move forces you to buy new camera if you want to replace a logic bord or camera instead of say using a broken phone for parts

UPDATE:

I just replaced the camera and it will not work. I get an error message, and asks to force close or continue anyway. If you continue, it just crashes. As to the gold foil, I was able to peel it off another broken camera and re-use it. Why is Ifixit selling these parts if you CANNOT use them unless you are Assurion or UbreakIfix(the only authorized centers) who have their own supply of official parts straight from Google????? This is very deceptive and disingenuous from Ifixit.
