Step-by-Step Google Pixel 6 Display Screen Replacement

Step 1: Heat the Screen Adhesive

• Place the Pixel 6 front screen-side down on a heating pad.
• Select the mobile phone heating option and allow it to complete.
• Alternatively, use a heat gun or hairdryer to soften the adhesive around the screen edges.

Step 2: Lift the Screen

• Use a suction cup to slightly lift the screen.
• Insert a plastic card pry tool to cut through the softened adhesive.
• Be gentle—the LCD flex cable is located on the left-hand side.
• Always use the edge of the pry tool to avoid internal damage.

Step 3: Open and Disconnect the Display

• Lift the screen from right to left like an open book.
• Remove the connector bracket using tweezers.
• Disconnect the LCD connector from the logic board.
• Fully remove the damaged screen from the device.

Step 4: Prepare the Frame

• If the old screen is severely damaged, clean the frame edges thoroughly.
• Remove leftover adhesive, glass fragments, and dust for proper screen seating.

Step 5: Check Fingerprint Sensor

• Ensure the replacement screen includes a fingerprint sensor.
• Original service-pack and refurbished screens usually come with the sensor pre-installed.

Step 6: Install and Test the New Screen

• Place the new screen onto the phone body.
• Power on the device to test display, touch response, and fingerprint sensor functionality.
• Once testing is successful, secure the display connector bracket.

Step 7: Secure the New Screen

• Apply B7000 glue or new double-sided LCD adhesive if required.
• Slide the screen into place from bottom to top.
• Apply gentle pressure around the edges.
• Use bonding clips or rubber bands until the adhesive sets properly.
