Ce dont vous avez besoin

  1. Pixel 8 Pro 5G mmWave Removal, Prepare your Pixel for disassembly: étape 1, image 1 de 3 Pixel 8 Pro 5G mmWave Removal, Prepare your Pixel for disassembly: étape 1, image 2 de 3 Pixel 8 Pro 5G mmWave Removal, Prepare your Pixel for disassembly: étape 1, image 3 de 3
    • Let your Pixel's battery drain below 25% before starting this repair. A charged lithium‑ion battery may catch fire if damaged.

    • Unplug all cables from your phone.

    • Completely power off your phone.

    • Press the power and volume up buttons at the same time to bring up the shutdown menu.

  2. Pixel 8 Pro 5G mmWave Removal, Mark your opening picks: étape 2, image 1 de 3 Pixel 8 Pro 5G mmWave Removal, Mark your opening picks: étape 2, image 2 de 3 Pixel 8 Pro 5G mmWave Removal, Mark your opening picks: étape 2, image 3 de 3
    • You'll be using opening picks to separate the screen from the frame. If inserted too far, a pick can damage your device. Follow this step to mark your pick and prevent damage.

    • Measure 3 mm from the tip and mark the opening pick with a permanent marker.

    • Alternatively, tape a coin to a pick 3 mm from the tip.

  3. Pixel 8 Pro 5G mmWave Removal, Tape over a cracked screen: étape 3, image 1 de 2 Pixel 8 Pro 5G mmWave Removal, Tape over a cracked screen: étape 3, image 2 de 2
    • Glass shards can complicate disassembly—or worse, cause injury. If your phone has a cracked screen, follow these steps:

    • Apply overlapping strips of packing tape to the cracked glass until the whole screen is covered.

    • Only cover the glass itself—don't stick any tape to the frame.

    • Wear safety glasses to protect your eyes from any glass shaken free during the repair.

  4. Pixel 8 Pro 5G mmWave Removal, Heat the bottom edge adhesive: étape 4, image 1 de 1
    • Adhesive and clips secure the screen to the frame. Heating the screen softens the adhesive, making it easier to separate.

    • Heat an iOpener and lay it on the bottom edge of the screen for two minutes to soften the adhesive.

    • Alternatively, you can use a hair dryer, heat gun, or hot plate—but be careful as extreme heat can damage the screen and/or battery.

  5. Pixel 8 Pro 5G mmWave Removal, Secure the Anti-Clamp: étape 5, image 1 de 3 Pixel 8 Pro 5G mmWave Removal, Secure the Anti-Clamp: étape 5, image 2 de 3 Pixel 8 Pro 5G mmWave Removal, Secure the Anti-Clamp: étape 5, image 3 de 3

    • 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.

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

    • Place your phone screen side up on an object so it will rest level between the Anti-Clamp's arms—the bottom edge should be hanging off.

    • Slide the arms over the left edge of your phone, so you have access to the bottom edge.

    • Position the suction cups as close to the center of the bottom edge as possible.

    • Squeeze the cups together to create suction.

  6. Pixel 8 Pro 5G mmWave Removal, Twist the handle: étape 6, image 1 de 3 Pixel 8 Pro 5G mmWave Removal, Twist the handle: étape 6, image 2 de 3 Pixel 8 Pro 5G mmWave Removal, Twist the handle: étape 6, image 3 de 3
    • Pull the handle forward to lock the arms.

    • Turn the handle clockwise one full turn (360 degrees), or until the suction cups begin to stretch.

    • As the cups stretch, make sure they stay aligned with each other. If they keep slipping, remove the Anti-Clamp and apply tape for the cups to stick to.

  7. Pixel 8 Pro 5G mmWave Removal, Insert an opening pick: étape 7, image 1 de 3 Pixel 8 Pro 5G mmWave Removal, Insert an opening pick: étape 7, image 2 de 3 Pixel 8 Pro 5G mmWave Removal, Insert an opening pick: étape 7, image 3 de 3
    • Wait one minute for a gap to form between the screen and frame.

    • If the adhesive doesn't separate, twist the handle clockwise one quarter turn and wait another minute. Apply more heat if the screen cools down.

    • Insert an opening pick into the gap.

    • Don't insert your opening pick more than 3 mm to avoid damaging the spring contacts.

    • Pull the blue handle backwards to unlock the arms and remove the Anti-Clamp using the pull tabs on the suction cups.

    • Skip the next two steps.

  8. Pixel 8 Pro 5G mmWave Removal, Apply a suction cup: étape 8, image 1 de 2 Pixel 8 Pro 5G mmWave Removal, Apply a suction cup: étape 8, image 2 de 2

    • Pull up on the suction handle with strong, steady force until a gap forms between the screen and frame.

    • If you're having trouble creating a gap, apply more heat and try again.

    • Insert an opening pick into the gap.

  10. Pixel 8 Pro 5G mmWave Removal, Prevent damage to your phone: étape 10, image 1 de 2 Pixel 8 Pro 5G mmWave Removal, Prevent damage to your phone: étape 10, image 2 de 2
    • To avoid damaging your phone, don't insert your pick more than 3 mm as you separate the screen adhesive. Note the following areas:

    • The screen cable is a little less than halfway up the left edge of the phone. Be very careful here to avoid tearing the cable.

    • There are many spring contacts around the perimeter of the phone. Be very careful in these areas to avoid bending the contacts.

    • If you're installing a new screen with pre-installed adhesive, follow this step during reassembly. Otherwise, follow this guide to apply adhesive to your old screen.

    • Thoroughly check the entire screen for any plastic liners or tape and use the pull tabs to remove all of them. Look carefully for a large piece of plastic covering the back of the screen, a small one near the front camera cutout, and adhesive liners around the perimeter.

    • Reconnect the screen cable and reinstall its cover.

    • This is a good point to test your phone before sealing it up. Temporarily power on your phone and make sure it works as expected. Power it down before continuing.

    • Firmly press the screen into place on the frame—you should feel the clips "pop" into place.

    • Press firmly around the perimeter of the screen to secure it with the new adhesive.

    • Optionally, you can strengthen the adhesive bond by applying pressure evenly to the phone.

    • Follow this guide to calibrate the fingerprint sensor.
