Heat an iOpener and apply it to the bottom edge of the screen for one minute.
-
-
-
Screen seam: This seam separates the screen from the rest of the phone. Do not pry at this seam.
-
Bezel seam: This is where the plastic bezel designed to protect the screen meets the frame. It's held in place by plastic clips. This is where you should pry.
Please remove the image of the pick in the bottom of the phone in Step 2. This led me to place a pick there BEFORE step 5 which damaged my digitizer. Now I have to replace the entire screen as a result.
Alternatively, add the image from step 5 with the suction cup in place, or just draw an arrow digitally to the seam you're referring to in step 2. Or call "Step 2" "Important Note" instead of a step.
Wow, I'm glad I read this first. I too assumed this step was about inserting the pick, but wasn't sure because it wasn't clearly written that way.
Agreed with the "important note" idea, along with combining this with step 5 where the context is actually relevant.
Just made this same mistake and the photo is still there... there goes another $180...

Инструмент, используемый на этом этапе:Clampy - Anti-Clamp$24.95
-
Pull the blue handle towards the hinge to disengage opening mode.
-
Position the suction cups near the bottom edge of the screen—one on the front, and one on the back.
-
Push down on the cups to apply suction to the desired area.
-
-
-
Push the blue handle away from the hinge to engage opening mode.
-
Turn the handle clockwise until you see the cups start to stretch.
-
Wait one minute to give the adhesive a chance to release and present an opening gap.
-
Insert an opening pick under the screen and its bezel frame when the Anti-Clamp creates a large enough gap.
-
Skip the next step.
-
-
-
Apply a suction cup to the screen, as close to the heated edge as possible.
-
Pull up on the suction cup with strong, steady force to create a gap.
-
Insert the opening pick into the gap.
"Insert the opening pick into the gap." NOT the gap under the glass, the second gap... If not you will probably break your screen, at least I did. Especially important if your pixel 5 shipped with the screen gap :(
-
-
-
Slide the opening pick back and forth along the bottom of the screen to slice the adhesive.
-
Leave the pick inserted in the bottom right corner to prevent the adhesive from re-sealing.
-
-
-
-
Apply a heated iOpener to the left edge of the screen for one minute.
-
-
-
Insert another opening pick into the bottom left corner of the screen.
-
Slide the opening pick around the left corner.
-
Continue to slide the pick up towards the front camera to slice the adhesive on the left edge of the screen.
-
Leave the pick inserted to prevent the adhesive from re-sealing.
I suggest placing an orientation sticker on the screen so you don't lose track of where that delicate ribbon cable is. I gently bent one, immediately after doing a successful one, resulting in a costly screen replacement. It's important to know that it's incredibly delicate.
I bent one of the picks at the end up 90 degrees with the tweezers to a depth of 3/16" and it worked beautifully. Left it on that side to remember where it was important.
-
-
-
Insert another opening pick into the top left corner of the screen.
-
Slide the pick around the front camera and across the top edge of the phone.
-
Slide the pick to the top right corner of the phone and leave the pick inserted.
-
-
-
Insert an opening pick into the bottom right corner of the screen.
-
Slide the pick up to the top right corner to slice the last edge of adhesive.
-
-
-
Use the opening pick from the top left corner to lift up the left edge of the screen a few millimeters. This will keep the clips from snapping back down into the case.
-
Lift up on the right side of the screen and open up the phone like a book.

Инструмент, используемый на этом этапе:Tweezers$4.99
-
Use tweezers to grip the screen connector cover securing the screen flex cable.
-
Push the clip in towards the connector to unlatch it.
I found it easier to use the spudger here rather than the tweezers (which have sharp ends that could damage something if you happen to slip).
some 5a models will have a screw instead of clip , here's a photo https://imgur.com/a/9dZG5pQ
You commented on the guide for the Pixel 5, not the 5a: Google Pixel 5a

I just fought with this part using the tweezers for several attempts, and then with the spudger it came right out when I applied force towards the center of the left edge.
-
-
-
Use the tip of the spudger to pry up and disconnect the screen flex cable.
The curved ends of the blue iFixit Opening Tool helped me reseat the connector when installing the new screen.
So hard to get this thing reseated to test the screen, even before putting the adheasive round the phone edge to finish the job. What made it particularly hard was that the flex cable on mine seemed very short compared to video's i've seen online.
Reattaching this press connector was the worst! By the time I had done all the steps below and then in reverse, I was ready to be DONE. Be careful, patient and gentle.
I too wanted to test my screen before the final adhesives and when I finally got the connection done and tested my screen, I HATED that I had to undo the connection to attached the adhesive.
If using the Pixel 5 display adhesive that comes in the battery repair kit, there are actually two sets of blue protective covers. One that helps align the adhesive to the frame. Once that is removed, there is a very thin blue cover on the adhesive itself - that does split in two pieces. So, all this said, I could have attached the adhesive before testing the screen and would have been able to leave the adhesive strip with the blue protective cover in place if I needed to make any adjustments before sealing the screen to the frame.
So I was reassembling everything after changing the battery.
Now my only step left is to reconnect the display. However by doing so and trying to turn it on the screen doesn't work... I feel the haptics, but the display is no longer responsive. Please help.

When handling your screen, grip it by its edges.
-
When placing the screen on your work area, make sure nothing is touching the bottom of the screen. Consider placing it on a soft, lint-free cloth.

Remove the screen.
Where from we can buy the screen. Thanks
the screen does not fit
After reconnecting the screen, is it necessary to remove a screen protector (if installed) for the a proper screen calibration?
Yes. Remove the screen protector when installing the screen.
Remaining adhesive - very little actually pulled up in strips, most had to be gently scraped up. The 90% alcohol was a must to help soften the adhesive that remained. I did not get all of it off.
The custom cut adhesive guide was very helpful. I did use the iOpener to heat up the edges after I installed the screen to help create the best seal. I believe this also helped deal with the old adhesive I hadn't been able to remove and allowed for a secure, tight fit of my screen to the frame.

if i want only screen (lcd display) of pixel 5 from where can i get the screen. sudhri@gmail.com my mail address
Hello! This tutorial is well explained and seems ok to realize, but the problem i’m facing is to find the right spare part… Once contacted, google assistance said the only option is to send it back to them for 138€ and 7-10 days… Can you recommand a trustworsthy website for that?
Usually i look on amazon (sent by amazon) to get the warranty if i got any problem.
Check out the iFixit store. We stock some parts for the Pixel 5, including the screen and battery.

The screen that I ordered has a cable that runs the wrong way. It would need to be twisted to make it fit my Pixel 5. Any suggestions?
Get a refund and send it back and order a different display.
unless you’re a super pro, better with frame, It is not easy to glue up to the frame, and if that frame is damaged or gets damaged during tear down, can be a problem.
Hi,
I just replaced the screen with a new one, but now I have problems with the proximity sensor, When i press on one side of the screen it works, so I guess it is because it may be not glued strongly wnough? wich glue do you recommend?
I had the same problem -- the proximity sensor was unreliable after replacing the screen, and pressing down on the top of the screen helped. In my case, I used pre-cut adhesive both between the screen and the thin plastic frame and between the frame and the lower case. With this adhesive, the screen sat a little further away from the sensor and it's likely that the original calibration of the sensor was no longer correct.
I fixed it by heating the top of the phone, firmly clamping it, and leaving it overnight. The top of the screen sits flush now and the proximity sensor works reliably.
There is no info here about transferring the speaker. How is that done? Is adhesive needed? If so, what type?
I just use one or two strips of adhesive tape if I need to use new adhesive. Not much, though. If possible, get the earpiece speaker nice and warm to soften the adhesive. Apply lots of heat to the old display on the touchscreen side, not heating the earpiece directly. If you can heat it up enough, it should come off pretty cleanly. Then warm it up again and seat it well onto the new display with the original adhesive still attached the the earpiece speaker.
Hello! Just foolishly cracked my Google Pixel 5 screen and have no idea where to get the replacement. Based on your experience, could you please suggest where to order Pixel 5 screen replacement so that it would be as sharp and bright as the original? Ideally – THE original. Thank you in advance!
i bought a screen on ebay. supposedly oem. it seems just the same as the original.

Rounded.com expensive but 100% new and original parts straight from manufacturer
Simon -
I have to say I found this to be one of the easiest repairs I've ever done, I bought the complete original screen assembly from rounded.com and the manufacturer adhesive tape which gives the phone its IP rating seal back. Cost me about £160 all in. But I learnt skills at the same time. I used my nails and a guitar plectrum working from bottom end of the phone up. As good as new, well chuffed
Thanks ifixit. my pixel 5 lives again. screen replacement kit surprised me with some excellent tools provided. adhesive i thought would be the tricky part but you guys made it very easy to put on. cheers
My Google Pixel screen was replaced because it was accidentally broken while replacing another part. The screen put on it worked just fine until we tried to put the case back on the phone. Now I can't use the phone. Is there any way I can fix it myself without having to get a whole new screen or phone?
replacement screen works but has a green tint on low brightness? how can I fix this? (old screen works fine color wise, 2 other replacements also have green tint )
some 5a models will have a screw instead of clip , here's a photo https://imgur.com/a/9dZG5pQ
Ok for those that do not know, The pixel 5 you need the model number from it to be sure the part you get is for that phone, you can find the model number in about section, regulatory labels, yes it's a pixel 5 but it still has a model number for it and they a different from carrier to carrier and what not so be sure you got the right model of your pixel 5 that will solve most of your problems getting wrong parts
I completed the screen replacement, but when I turned the smartphone on, the selfie camera showed a black screen. I had to take the screen off the phone all over again to figure out what was wrong. Turns out there was a protective thin black film covering the lens hole. This wasn't mentioned in the guide.
Seems like there should be a step added where one powers the phone on and tests that the screen and front camera are working before pressing down the adhesive to seal the phone. Now I have to buy another adhesive template to seal the phone again. Grrr...
Also, the holding tabs for the adhesive are on the clear disposed film (contrary to the adhesive installation guide), which is peeled off first. Once peeled off, there are no longer tabs to use to hold the adhesive film, so it's awkward to position it without bending the colored adhesive film, distorting its shape, or inadvertantly touching adhesive.
How to Apply Custom-cut Adhesive Strips
Good guide, otherwise.
Good morning...
Replaced my cracked screen with the genuine google replacement part. The issue is the replacement adhesive sucks. It's terrible and worthless. The screen doesn't stay connected to the case. Does anyone have any recommendations for how to keep the screen adhered to the case?
An issue I had was that when I took off the old screen, the bezel was still stuck to the phone and came off the screen. I didn't understand it was supposed to come off as well and it was not well documented here. I would suggest adding it to this tutorial.
As other comments have mentioned, the genuine part comes with a black sticker over the front camera, and a blue transparent sheet that covers at least the proximity sensor. Test both the front facing camera and the proximity sensor (The knock knock to wake relies on the proximity sensor) in addition to your other checks before fixing the screen on permanently.
The bottom right corner of my screen will not close- it is coming up off of the case. My old screen did this too in the same spot (and my previous replacement was done by professionals at UBreakIFix).
Anyone have any idea why this is happening or how to fix it?
A white line with a thickness of 1 cm appeared in the screen of my phone, knowing the screen is intact and there is no breakage, I turned on and reset the phone to factory settings to no avail (google pexil 5 )
Same for me , I got a white line and a green one. I bought my Pixel 5 since the day of its release...https://imgur.com/a/mZ35dXl
Thanks a lot for the guide! I just replaced mine and worked very well.
I made a mistake, I did not remove the frontal camera protector, It will be good to highlight this step as red!
Thanks again!
The glass is cracked on my phone, The screen works perfect, do I need to still change the entire screen?
It would be helpful to know for how long ally the heated pad

Agreed, my friend from the past.

If you click on the "iOpener" link, it tells you to heat it up for 30 seconds, and if you're using a microwave with a carousel, make sure it moves freely.

How long do you think it would take with a hair dryer?
Gen L. - Ответить
Don't have a microwave, so I boiled the kettle, left the iOpener in for 5 minutes and it was a good temperature to go. Doesn't need to be that hot to be effective
