Having never even touched one of these before I though I would attemp to replace the screen thats after its sat in my garage for over a year. Thankfully the screen replacement was successful and the device actually works.
Hope you enjoy the video, thanks for watching and please subscribe.

Excellent! My hub screen just started acting up today, after many years, so I'll definitly look into replacing the screen.

My 10 yr old knocked our google hub to the floor cracking the screen! I despise tossing fixable electronics into the garbage so I'm glad I came across your repair video and was able to repair it. Mine was a gen 2 , and I found the screen on AliExpress for $28, including shipping. I was able to use a heat gun to soften up the adhesive before prying out. The one thing different on the gen 2 vs gen 1 is there is a small pcb board with the mic and some other sensors that came out with my screen instead of staying glued to the main unit, apparently the adhesive used on the screen waa stronger then used on the main body . It needed to be removed from the old broken screen then reattached to the main unit with a small ribbon cable. Gen 1 as the video covers does not have this mic pcb and ribbon cable exposed like gen 2. Thanks again!

@tobe.03 Not really that hard as long as you have some type of a heat gun to loosen up the adhesive and take your time prying around the edges just as the video suggests. Ours continues to work fine after the replacement. I'm actually surprised I was able to buy a replacement screen and fairly easily repair this. Just keep in mind the gen 2 has another ribbon cable towards the top which wasn't something on gen 1 that you needed to watch out for.

Thanks for this was very helpful. Just for tips on my experience, 1. do not pry to deeply, look at your new screen for reference. 2. you may use a screw driver to kinda break ur screen to pieces. much easier for me that way. 3. the connector has a white line for u to slot it. after that clip the connector and it will lock it in

Any chance you know how or where I can get that replacement screen cable? I’m trying to extend it down a couple of feet. I want to mount the display on a wall so it’s flat without the speaker similar to the echo show 5. Doesn’t look like google is coming out with anything intuitive anytime soon to make a competitor product.

Morning, The only place I could find the screen at a price point I was happy with was AliExpress, mine was a genuine one. People seem to be having mixed experiences with the re-manufactured ones ranging from a white screen to no touch capability at all, seems to be luck of the draw.

Super interesting ! As many other owners of the Google Home Hub have already experienced... the device remains blocked on a grey screen with a white G during the boot, after an automatic software upgrade sent by Google... a problem known by Google but for which they propose no solution and no replacement if the device is older that 1 year... Do you think there is a way to fix it?

Hey there, So, I watched your video tutorial and replaced the screen on my Google Home Hub. The "G" logo with the gray background lights up, but after a while, the backlighting turns off and I can barely see anything on the screen. The touchscreen still works, so I turned the brightness all the way up to 10, but it didn't make a difference. Do you think it's a screen error or something else? If you know how to fix it, please let me know. Thanks!
