Screen goes black & flickers

Hi all,

Replaced the screen on my Pixel 7 Pro with a genuine replacement from ifixit about 6 months ago. Old screen was a bit scratched up as I don't use a screen protector, but not subjected to any trauma. New screen has been working fine until this afternoon. I thought the Nova Launcher app was just being buggy, but it demonstrated the same symptoms when booted in safe mode too.

Device works fine until you bump it (eg, drop it, horizontally, from 1cm onto a mousepad). Screen goes black, and flickers yellow/displays a yellow line at the top of the screen. Definitely seems to be caused by a mechanical means..

I can feel it vibrate when I touch the home button location whilst the screen is black, and it will continue playing music, so it still seems to be functioning just fine.

It's resumed working the last few times, but now, I might've just killed it whilst writing this thread by testing my theory..

Any thoughts? Remove screen and re-seat connector?

The connector is really the only thing that you can reasonably check. Ordinarily I'd say it's a long shot, but Google changed the design of the display connector retainer on the 7 model. Here's the retainer on my 6 Pro

As you can see, there's a screw holding it down, meaning no amount of impact or force can knock it loose. Contrast that with the retainer on your 7 Pro.

No screw, right? So although it's unlikely, it's not impossible for the retainer to pop out of place. If it has, then the connector underneath is also free to come loose due to being bumped or jarred.

So yeah, open it up and check the connector. If it's popped loose then that's a good indication that you may be able to fix it by reseating the connector and resecuring the retainer. Otherwise go ahead and unplug it and check the connector; use a magnifying glass and a bright light and check both sides for any kind of damage; bent or broken pins in particular. If everything looks good, clean them with 90% or higher concentration isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol, give them a moment to dry, reconnect and test.

Now if you've gone through all of that and still have problems, chances are you're having issues with your replacement screen. The good news here is that iFixit screens have a lifetime guarantee and if there's a problem with it, it will be replaced at no cost. I would like to mention that iFixit sells genuine Google parts for Pixels, so there isn't a better quality screen available. That being said, I have noticed a tendency for their replacement screens to have issues; it could be attributed to confirmation bias, but it seems to me that I'm hearing about more problems with new Pixel screens than you would expect for a new part, and this covers several generations of displays made by them.

Anyway, if you get through all this and have concluded you should get in touch with the iFixit Store personnel, the best way I know of is via email at support@ifixit.com. I imagine it'll help if you give them your order number from when you bought the screen, but I'm sure they can look it up with your username too.

Good luck with it, and be sure to come on back and let us know how it all turns out!

Thanks mate, you're a champion.

I've emailed ifixit to see what they say, as the screen is now flickering intermittently with just very light taps/too much pressure on the screen whilst using it.. Worried it's going to die on me whilst using it, so I've just left it sitting at my desk undisturbed for the time being.

I can remove the screen to inspect the connection, but don't have a spare screen adhesive at hand so I'm a little hesitant.. — LiamV
@liamviskovich I have to agree, you'll want that adhesive before you open it up. You can get fastest service on Amazon, but cheapest would be AliExpress. eBay falls somewhere between; some vendors offer four day delivery and the prices tend to be in the middle. — Jerry Wheeler
