Google Pixel XL Motherboard Replacement

はじめに

This repair guide was authored by the iFixit staff and hasn’t been endorsed by Google. Learn more about our repair guides here.

If you're having issues with the overall functionality of your phone and are unable to diagnose the root cause, consider replacing the motherboard of your device.

The Pixel XL’s unreinforced display panel is fragile and is attached to the frame with strong adhesive, making repairs difficult. There is a considerable chance of breaking the display, especially if it already has micro-fractures. Be sure to apply plenty of heat and be extremely careful during the prying stage.

Heat an iOpener and apply it to the top edge of the display for two minutes.
A hair dryer, heat gun, or hot plate may also be used, but be careful not to overheat the phone—the display and internal battery are both susceptible to heat damage.
Take note of the following regions before you begin prying:
Thin adhesive lined against the display panel
Thick adhesive
The OLED display panel, which is very prone to damage
The display cable, which can be damaged during prying

Once the edge is warm to the touch, apply a suction cup close to the edge.
Lift on the suction cup, and insert an opening pick into the gap.
Do not insert the pick more than 13 mm (0.5 inches), or you will damage the display assembly.
If you have trouble creating a gap, reheat the edge and try again.
You can also try to use a playing card instead of an opening pick to help make the initial entry.

Heat the bottom edge with an iOpener for two minutes.
Insert a pick near the right edge where you have already loosened the adhesive.
Carefully guide the pick around the corner.
Slide the pick along the bottom edge to slice through the adhesive.
Do not slice deeper than 8.5 mm (1/3") or you will damage the display cable.

For comprehensive instructions on how to reinstall the Pixel XL display, follow this guide.
If your replacement display did not come with a speaker grille, use tweezers to gently peel the adhesive grille from your old display, and transfer it to the replacement.
Before installing a new display, be sure to remove all traces of adhesive from the frame. Use a spudger or an opening tool to scrape it off, and use high-concentration isopropyl alcohol to remove any residue.
If you are reinstalling the same display assembly, be sure to remove all adhesive residue from the panel and the frame before applying new adhesive.
Be sure to turn on your phone and test your repair before installing new adhesive and resealing the phone.
During the boot-up process after reassembly, the screen will go through a calibration sequence. Do not touch the screen during this process, as it could result in improper touch calibration and create touch issues.
