Got it done ! Works ! Perfect. Thx ! Bought a battery, heat mat, pre-formed adhesive sheets and adhesive strip tape along with a tool kit on eBay. With the help of your video and another, I was able to successfully swap the battery and not damage the screen. Works perfectly. Have the tools now and a bit more confidence for next time. Thanks !!!!

At the beginning of the tutorial you mentioned everything you'll need but forgot to add the adhesive tape that holds down the screen. Ya its sort of self evident that it will be needed sense your removing it but what are the sizes we need? 1mm for the sides and 3mm for the top & bottom?!?

I have had repairing experience in the past with Apple, Samsung, and some LGs. On this one, i managed to remove the screen without cracking it, but the cable ripped apart at the first movement, gddmt. Take care if you try this.

I gave up trying to get the screen off. I could see breaking the screen would happen before I could get the pic between the screen and the body of the phone. Also just how much heat to apply? The IOpener seemed worthless. Went to a heat gun but was afraid I would over heat and end up destroying the phone. The whole experience was disappointing and the old battery is still in the phone. Later that same morning: Well, I got the display off without breaking it. I accomplished installing the new battery. But the phone is not coming on. 3 hours later and I have a phone that does not work. I will be damned if I will try and figure out why. Live and learn. If I were to venture a guess, maybe 50 percent who will try this replacement may succeed. Good luck.

Dont do this if you have a good screen, it will break, only open if screen is already damaged. Cause the odds are not good to cleanly remove and reassemble.

@drfixitbristol4341 2 жыл бұрын

30 Minutes, what a lot of bullshit. Most people will damage the screen when they remove it. Once you have taken 20 minutes to do the battery replacement after the screen has been removed, you have to clean off the glue that held the screen in place and clean the glue off the screen, then reseat the screen. This is a 60 - 90 minute job at best that will probably cost you a new screen and battery

That screen is fragile like a potato chips. My nightmare came true with the Pixel 1! I think the 3/3 XL would be better due to the battery access from rear side. Btw I assume you may have already purchased by now but just mentioning
