- See how an amateur uses the iFixit Screen Replacement kit to replace the cracked screen on a Pixel 7 Pro. This is the first screen I have ever replaced on a phone and I think really shows you what to expect when using the kit.
Here is the link to the fingerprint reader recalibration site: pixelrepair.wi...
I'm so glad you used that "I Opener" before replacing the screen.
Hahaa 😉 yep me too.
Thank you for posting this. It was a very big help and your video gave me the confidence to replace my broken screen.
One thing I did, as I was removing the broken screen was inadvertently turn the phone back on. As the currently screen was further damaged, I wasn't able to tap the shut down button that is usually displayed on the screen. When it came time to test if the screen was working, it wouldn't show anything as the phone was already powered on. I later found that holding all 3 buttons on the side, the power and 2 volume buttons, for 20-30 seconds will power the phone off, without the need for the screen button way. I was then able to power the phone back on and see the screen working. Thought I's add this, just in case someone else finds themselves in that predicament.
Thanks again for your video and a great example on the process that has helped me and many others.
Hi, thanks for watching and the comments. I’m glad you found the video helpful. That’s also some good information about shutting the phone down. I’m sure that’s happened to other people so thanks for sharing that. I think you may have already but if not please consider Subscribing and hitting the like button. I would really appreciate that!
So grateful for your video as it solved my problem when the plastic frame also needed to be removed. It would have been great if iFixit had included that in their installation guide.
Hi thanks for watching and the comments. I glad the video was helpful to you in some way. I think you may have already but if not please consider subscribing. I would really appreciate it.
Nice to see a warts and all fix. It's the same with car fix videos, their fix on video is always straight forward but when you do it you get seized bolts and and snapped connectors etc. Just broken my 7 pro so this will be useful. I've done about 3 phones before but always best to get as much info as you can for each model
Hi thanks for watching and the comments. Yeah most videos that are selling a product are done so in a perfect world. It's never exactly as they show it. Either way if you haven't done so already please consider Subscribing and hitting the like button. I would really appreciate it.
Very nice video, simple to follow along with. But you make it look so easy.
Hi thanks for watching and the comments. It really wasn't hard to do. The plastic things included for removing the screen didn't work for me as you saw in the video. The razor blade did though. I think you may have already but if not please consider Subscribing and hitting the like button. Thank you.
@@NINEPOINTFIVEPROJECTS i did the same what workt so much better.
Excellent tutorial. Ifixit's instructions on their website suck. I took my screen off cold with a knife. Easiest screen to remove I've ever messed with. Thanks brother.
Thank you for the comments!
That’s how I always do it. Using a stencil knife makes it easy, no need for heat
Hi thanks for watching and the comments. Sometimes things can get overly complicated. Razor blade did well too. I think you may have already but if not please consider Subscribing and hitting the like. I would really appreciate it!
Thx for sharing, it helped me a lot. All the other videos have too much going on. ✌️
Hi thanks for watching and the comments. I'm glad you found it useful. I think you may have already but if not please consider Subscribing and hitting the like button. I would really appreciate it! 😊
Wish I had watched your video first. Would have been nice if Ifix it would have mentioned that plastic frame may stick in the phone. It wasn't till I put the adhesive on that I realized something doesn't look right 🙄 Was excited to have my phone back. They should post your video on their website over there's.
Hi thanks for watching and the super nice comments. That was a bad time to discover the frame.. either way I think you may have already but if not please consider Subscribing and hitting the like button. I would really appreciate it!
The iFixit website has comprehensive guides for many types of repairs, including replacing the Pixel 7 pro screen. Those manuals are updated and users can leave their questions and comments. I think that's the core function of that website, it's almost impressive that you missed that, haha 😋. Anyway, thanks for sharing your video!
Hi, thanks for watching and the comments. The online instructions that I found were really incomplete. Using the guitar pick supplied with the kit, in my opinion would no way work to separate the screen from the case. I think sometimes they fudge a little to make the kits easier than they are. Either way, again I appreciate the feedback. If you haven't done so already please consider Subscribing and hitting the like button. I would really appreciate it.

Yes, I recognize that. In addition to that manual, I also watched a number of TH-cam videos to get my questions answered and I noticed that they all had their own ways to arrive at the same outcome. Thank you for your answer and again for sharing your approach which is always worth appreciation 👍
@@NINEPOINTFIVEPROJECTS I had no issues with the ifixit guide, though it wasn't my first rodeo. I think ifixit would appreciate the feedback if given directly to them, so they can improve the guides for everyone, especially those new to repairing :)
Hi thanks for watching and the comments. I'm sure they wouldn't mind feedback from individuals that use their products. If they would take that and add the possible variations to their instructions would be helpful. Either way I think you may have already but if not please consider Subscribing and hitting the like button. I would really appreciate it!
i have a shattered Google pixel 7a. just the glass is the problem. but after watching your video vs JUST a glass replacement, im wondering if I'll save myself time and aggravation by just replacing both, like you did here... thoughts?!
Hi thanks for watching and the comments. Probably just as easy to replace both.
I transplanted my finger sensor which didn't work very well either and so after I transplanted it on to this new screen then all of a sudden not only does it work consistently it works through a really thick flexible plastic screen protector from a 10 year old Kindle tablet.
Hi thanks for watching and the comments. My finger sensor has never worked very well. I’m old and my fingers are worn pretty badly so that might be the problem with mine. I liked the Pixel 3’s because the sensor was on the back of the phone and I used a different finger. I think you may have already but if not please consider subscribing. I would really appreciate it.
Nice video. Thanks for making it. I am going to try with my wife's Pixel 7a that got cracked. Will let you know how it goes.
Hi, thanks for watching and the comments. I'm not sure if the difference in the 7a compared to the 7 Pro. Probably the most important thing is to not go too deep with the guitar pick, or like in my case a razor blade. Also as you see in my video I didn't do it necessarily the correct way, but it still worked out. By all means let me know how yours goes. Either way thanks again. I think you may have already done so but if not please consider Subscribing and hitting the like button. I would really appreciate that!
Hey, how did it go?
The cracked my 7a's glass a bit and thinking of replacing it with ifixit kit.
Your guide was far better then the video and guide on their website. Let alone their website guide doesnt include the putting it together part, only taking it apart.
It was far more detailed, far more step by step and great reminders as the frame around the phone, i swore that was part of the phone until you said it had to be removed.
Their video/guide doesnt really clear that up very well
and because you took it apart how you did, it helped even more as the same happened to me.
Hey there! Thanks for watching and the very kind comments! Glad it helped you. I tink you may have already but if not please consider Subscribing and Liking my channel. I would really appreciate it!

Did you ever get the fingerprint scanner to work? Great Video. I ordered mine.
Hi, thanks for watching and the comments. Yes, I did get it to work, but I have never had any finger print scanner to work consistently. I think my old finger prints are distorted and hard to read. Either way thanks again for watching and if you haven't done so already please consider Subscribing and hitting the like button. I really do appreciate that as I try to grow my channel.
Hi, my pixel 7 pro bottom mic doesn't work after the screen replacement with the original display do u know why?
Hi, no I'm sorry I don't. If you can remove the screen again check the ribbon cables.
The same problem after screen replacement 😢
Sorry, I wouldn't know why.
Nice video. Did your fingerprint works properly??
Yes, better than before actually. Thanks for watching and the comments! I appreciate it.
Thanks
Hi thanks for watching and the comments. I hope it helped you with your phone repair. Either way I think you may have already but if not please consider Subscribing and hitting the like button. I would really appreciate it!
Ifixit has a detailed video on the product page, how to replace the display.
Hi thanks for watching and the comments. Yes I know but to be honest repairing something like this rarely goes exactly the way it's shown. Not just them but other companies as well. The easier they can make it look, the more they can sell. Either way I think you may have already but if not please consider Subscribing and hitting the like button. I would really appreciate it.
Which ifix it kit did you use?
Hi thanks for watching and the comments. It was the iFitIt kit. I think you may have already, but if not please consider Subscribing. I would really appreciate it.
Does it need factory reset or something after replacement? or all your data is still there?
No
I seen people add glue. Is that necessary??
I don't think so if you use the seal that comes with the kit.
Very 👍

You forgot the black sticker over the front facing camera cutout. So did I 😅
Hi thanks for watching and the comments. No, I didn't forget it. But if you do you gotta take it back apart or not have a camera. Either way if you haven't done so already please consider Subscribing and hitting the like button. I would really appreciate it.
dont you need to use glue?
Hi thanks for watching and the comments. The kit comes with adhesive tape already applied to the correct areas. Either way I think you may have already but if not please consider Subscribing and hitting the like button. I would really appreciate it!
I like the Black Lives Matter fist holding the wrench on the instructions
Hi. Thanks for watching and the comments. Hahaha ! I never picked up on that. Thanks again!
exactly what not to do. You didn't watch the how to videos on their site
Hi thanks for watching and the comments. I'm not sure what you mean as it was successful.
