Google Pixel 9 Pro Screen Replacement

Unplug all cables and completely power down your phone.

Consider wearing safety glasses to protect your eyes from any glass shaken free during the repair.

Use a hair dryer, heat gun, or hot plate to heat the entire screen until it's almost too hot to touch.

Apply a suction handle to the center of the screen's top edge.

Pull up on the suction handle with strong, steady force to create a gap between the screen and frame.

Insert the tip of an opening pick under the screen.

Slide the opening pick along the top edge to separate the adhesive securing it.

Continue sliding your opening pick around the perimeter of the screen to separate the remaining adhesive.

Flip the screen over the right edge of your phone and prop it up with the suction handle.

Before applying the adhesive, make sure you know its proper orientation on the frame. Hold the adhesive over your phone to find its proper alignment.

The adhesive has a corresponding groove on the perimeter of the frame.

Cutouts in the blue liner correspond to spring contacts on the frame.

Lay the exposed top edge of the adhesive onto the frame, using the frame's lip to help align it.

Once the top edge is properly aligned, gently press down with your fingers to secure it in place.

Slowly lay the rest of the adhesive onto the frame, peeling away the larger clear liner as you go.

Use the flat end of a spudger to firmly press around the perimeter of the adhesive to secure it to the frame.
