しばらくは快適でとても気に入っていましたがある時から全く持って外側画面がつかなくなりました。閉じても中がずっとついている状態で通知などが来ても閉じてる状態なのに中の画面が光っていました。

落下や水没などはしておらずまた fold switcherなどを利用して無理やりサブディスプレイを起動させようとすると電源が落ちてしまいます。

adbにて一通りのログを取ってみたのですがどうやらサブディスプレイそのものを物理的に読み込んでいませんでした。また通常なら開け閉めを読み取って角度を出す部分もうまく表示されていません。そこで一度中を開けて差し直してみたりしたのですが症状は変わらずです....

このような場合サブディスプレイをフレックスケーブルごと交換したら治りますか？それとも内部のフレキシブルケーブルの断線によるものでしょうか？一応サブディスプレイ側のバッテリーは読み取っているのでヒンジにあるフレキシブルケーブルの断線等は無いのかなと思っています。

どなたか詳しい方お助けお願いします。

Context:
The repair guide seems to assume that they won't come apart. It specifically says to not pry between the screen and the bezel, which I did not do. It came apart on its own. (As the user of the phone being repaired, I could tell that the adhesive was on the way out before I started the repair.) It did not come apart due to a swelling battery, the battery I removed from the phone shows no signs of swelling. (The reason I replaced it is due to poor battery life and a battery health warning in settings.) I bought this phone 2nd hand, so I don't really know the history of it and what might have caused this adhesive to fail.

The main thing I'm asking for is advice on what kind of adhesive to buy (or even pre-cut adhesive if possible) to re-attach the screen to the bezel. (I am not asking about the adhesive to attach the bezel to the frame, commonly called the "display adhesive" and included in the repair kit)

I'm the proud owner of a Google Pixel 8 and I'm attempting a screen replacement.

The screen I originally had was broken but the phone would turn on fine, and I could even tap on the screen where the buttons would be and the phone responded fine.

After one screen replacement attempt which simply turned out to be a screen for a different model, I reordered another one and this one turns on.

My problem now is that somewhere between me trying the first screen replacement 100 times and swapping it out for the original broken screen so that I can access certain apps and data - I have done something to my phone and it spams taps and drags nonstop. This started happening with the first screen replacement attempt too right before I stopped trying, it would go on even when I swapped in my old broken screen but at a much slower rate than now.

So I understand that it's not the display and after searching, inspecting my parts and thinking, here's my useful bits of information:

• the pins on both the receiving end and the connector are perfectly straight
• none of the original components on the board got de-soldered
• I thoroughly checked for any microscopic matter that got between the contacts and they're clean
• I noticed some of the tape on the back of my transistors is gone (this is my fault in handling and not knowing better)
• my phone boots and I see the clock and the usual icons for maybe a split second before it crashes and restarts, this only started happening on my second day of trying to figure out if I can solve this issue and have never seen this issue before, which really worries me about what's going on with those unknown taps
• there's an area marked by a little white square slightly up and to the left of the connector which gets significantly hot during the short time my phone is on

At this point I'm looking for some extra opinions and advice.

I believe that it might be the transistors shorting against the connector's cable which has a slightly larger footprint than the connector head itself.

So I will try getting some electrical tape and cutting tiny squares under microscope to place on the transistors, but I'm worried there might be some permanent damage driving this and making it worse as I keep trying.

Therefore, if anybody has done something similar to this, or has some knowledge to share with a newbie that would be much appreciated.

Best regards,

I heated the phone, applied the suction cup and pulled until a gap appeared at the top, I inserted my opening pic and moved around the display, taking care to not insert the pic more than 3mm. This went very smoothly, until I attempted to fold the display open to the side, at which point I was surprised to see that I had successfully removed the glass, but the display itself remains firmly seated in the phone itself.

How do I now remove the display, preferably without causing further damage?

iFixit's online EU shop seems to be the only reliable place where I can get an official battery, plus the accessories to replace it.

However, they only ship to my country via UPS, and UPS is extremely incompetent to deliver it, so even after multiple attempts, the package never arrived and I got the money back, but no battery. And UPS confirmed that even if I tried again, it would not change a thing.

So, since it seems impossible to ask iFixit to send it via another company, how can I find another place selling original Pixel 7 batteries? Google themselves do not do it (at least not that I could find).

Note that iFixit's Amazon store sells some things, but not that battery, so I cannot use them as shipping company instead.

I've already tried the following things:

1. Resetting and reboot

2. Installation of new software

3. Upgrading to latest os and then downgrading to previous one

4. Going on beta android P

All these things didn't really help. If anyone knows how to solve this problem please let me know.

On the picture, I'm not sure that the little copper dot is the right track.

Suggestions?

What else can I do?

Any tips?

I have no idea where I could even start looking for broken parts, TBH.

(Sure, there are services that can do this, but I would never pass up an opportunity to learn how to do this kind of thing myself...)

• If I put it on a wireless charger the wireless charger blinks enough for me to assume that the battery is attempting to negotiate with it
• If I use a known good 65w charger (UGREEN) and multiple high quality USB-C cables, I can get it to show a gray battery on screen with a lightning bolt in it, but after multiple hours it doesn't seem to produce a charge. The phone is slightly warm near the charging port. If I take it off the port it 'dies' (loses the little battery indicator) instantly
• If I try and put it into fastboot nothing happens, except that the battery indicator will sometimes go away, so maybe it's discharging faster than it's charging?
• If I hook it up to my Linux machine with dmesg running, it doesn't seem to be negotiating anything over USB :(

I like to think I'm generally pretty competent when it comes to working with electronic components. The only thing out of the ordinary with the battery swap was having to use 99% IPA to dissolve the battery adhesive, but I was conservative and it was completely dry before reassembly. I'm skeptical about the battery just being disconnected given the nature of the connector, but I'm open to cracking it back open if it comes to it. The bigger issue is that it leaves me phoneless for quite a while which is rough for 2FA.

Thanks

That's the background. Since everything else on the phone appeared to be working, I thought it worthwhile to attempt a screen replacement and ordered the kit. I very slowly, meticulously, and carefully followed the instructions. Unfortunately, upon removing the old screen, I noticed a small amount of what appears to be very minor corrosion on the logic board next to the screen pins (see pics), so I gently cleaned it as best I could with alcohol and a Q-tip, then brushed it gently with a nylon brush, waited for it to dry completely, then installed the new screen. Sadly, even the new screen is still entirely black and even the touch doesn't work, even after re-seating a couple times.

Is there anything I've missed or should try before requesting an RMA? I'd love to get it working, but I can't think of anything else to try and finding a logic board, aside from being far more difficult to replace, is difficult to find and would change the entire device ID anyway. In other words, all my data is lost, and there is no longer a point in trying to recover it at that point. Fortunately, I was able to backup my data in the brief moments when the damaged screen was working prior to the repair.
