    • Be sure to turn off your device before you begin the repair.

    • You'll need to pry the screen up to remove it from the phone. Read the following notes carefully before proceeding.

    • Take note of the two seams on the edge of the phone:

    • 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.

  2. Google Pixel 5a Rear Camera Replacement, Heat the right edge of the screen: paso 2, imagen 1 de 1
    • Apply a heated iOpener to the right edge of the display for one minute to soften the adhesive.

    • Depending on the strength of your device's adhesive, you may need to reapply the iOpener multiple times in order to weaken it enough.

    • 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.

    • If your display is badly cracked, covering it with a layer of clear packing tape may allow the suction cup to adhere. Alternatively, very strong tape may be used instead of the suction cup. If all else fails, you can superglue the suction cup to the broken screen.

    • Place a suction cup as close to the right edge of the screen as possible.

    • Lift the suction cup with a strong steady force until a small gap forms between the bezel and midframe.
