Reemplazo de la batería del Google Pixel XL

Qué necesitas

  1. Reemplazo de la batería del Google Pixel XL, Batería: paso 1, imagen 1 de 1
    • Apaga tu dispositivo.

    • Extrae la bandeja de la tarjeta SIM insertando la herramienta de la tarjeta SIM (o el extremo de un clip para papel) en el agujero de la bandeja de la tarjeta SIM. Presiona firmemente para extraer la bandeja.

    • Desliza hacia afuera del teléfono la bandeja de la tarjeta SIM.

    • No te descuides ya que es fácil extraviar la tarjeta SIM, la cual es muy pequeña y se puede caer accidentalmente.

    I found the black ribbon from the button power button board had broken off during phone disassembly, right where the cable bends 90°. That is the black ribbon connector adjacent to the battery flex cable pictured here (mine doesn’t have the brass looking rivet in it).

    I bought a new one on iFixit to replace it and the phone works great now: Google Pixel Power Button Board

    • Calienta el perímetro de la pantalla usando un iOpener, secador de cabellos o pistola de calor.

    • El calor ayudará a suavizar el adhesivo que asegura la pantalla, haciendo más fácil separarla. La pantalla debería ser calentada hasta que esté lo suficientemente caliente como para poderla tocar, esto debería tomar unos dos minutos. Toma extra precaución si utilizas una pistola de calor, ya que si aplicas mucho calor, podrías dañar el panel OLED.

    • Usa una ventosa para levantar un borde de la pantalla ligeramente, creando una pequeña apertura entre el marco del teléfono y la pantalla.

    • Inserta una púa de apertura entre el marco y la pantalla.

    • Desliza cuidadosamente la púa de apertura alrededor del perímetro del teléfono para separar el adhesivo.

    • Si planeas reusar la pantalla, no insertes la púa de apertura mas de unos cuantos milímetros en el teléfono, o podrías dañar el panel OLED debajo del vidrio.

    • Podrías necesitar deslizar la púa alrededor del perímetro múltiples veces para separar completamente el adhesivo. Trabaja lenta y cuidadosamente hasta que la pantalla comience a liberarse.

    • Levanta gentilmente la pantalla, pero no intentes aún desmontarla completamente —esta se encuentra conectada por debajo con un cable de cinta flexible.

  3. Reemplazo de la batería del Google Pixel XL: paso 3, imagen 1 de 1
    • Usa un destornillador T5 para remover los dos tornillos negros de 4mm que mantienen el escudo del conector de la pantalla en su lugar.

    • Remueve gentilmente el escudo de metal del conector de la pantalla.

  4. Reemplazo de la batería del Google Pixel XL: paso 4, imagen 1 de 2 Reemplazo de la batería del Google Pixel XL: paso 4, imagen 2 de 2
    • Se cuidadoso para que no dañes el conector cuando ejecutes este paso.

    • Usa el spudger o tu uña para levantar el conector que mantiene la pantalla en su lugar.

    • Levanta la pieza completa de la pantalla en su totalidad y colócala a un lado.

    • Raspa gentilmente y por completo cualquier resto de adhesivo del teléfono. Usa una pequeña cantidad de alcohol isopropílico de alta concentración (por lo menos 90%), para limpiar el marco y dejarlo preparado para el nuevo adhesivo.

    • El adhesivo de reemplazo debería ser aplicado solamente en los bordes del marco, aunque este podría venir también on adhesivo en centro.

    • Para remover la franja de la sección central innecesaria del adhesivo, despega cuidadosamente el rectángulo perforado en el medio del respaldo blanco. Al mismo tiempo, despega el adhesivo negro que está por debajo del respaldo blanco.

    • Solo debe quedar adhesivo en los bordes del marco.

  5. Reemplazo de la batería del Google Pixel XL: paso 5, imagen 1 de 2 Reemplazo de la batería del Google Pixel XL: paso 5, imagen 2 de 2
    • Remueve los siete tornillos T5 negros de 4mm.

    • Remueve los dos tornillos T5 plateados de 3mm los cuales aseguran el ensamble del marco central.

    • Habrán clics a medida que levantes del teléfono el marco central debido a los clips que normalmente lo mantienen en su lugar.

    • Levanta el marco central de la carcasa trasera halándolo hacia arriba.

  6. Reemplazo de la batería del Google Pixel XL: paso 6, imagen 1 de 2 Reemplazo de la batería del Google Pixel XL: paso 6, imagen 2 de 2
    • Desconecta la batería utilizando un spudger para levantar el conector de batería.

    • Un cable grande de interconexión de placa hija cubre la batería. Antes de remover la batería, necesitarás separar este cable y sacar lo fuera del camino.

    • Despega la cinta que cubre el extremo inferior del cable para revelar dónde se conecta a la placa hija. Luego, usa tu spudger para levantar el cable y desconectarlo.

    • Si deseas, puedes hacer lo mismo en el extremo superior del cable para separarlo y removerlo completamente o podrías simplemente doblar el cable cuidadosamente para sacarlo del camino mientras remueves la batería.

    Alcohol was the best bet for me - and I have a strip of class 2 HDPE plastic cut from a used chocolate milk bottle for the purpose of sliding underneath and “bridging” the alcohol underneath the battery and onto the adhesive. However, the actual adhesive tape bonding the battery to the case is far more resilient than the adhesive holding the plastic wrapping of the battery together - and, IMHO, only a little bit of it - less than a quarter of the original surface area - is required.

    • Hala la pestaña perforada en la parte superior de la batería y despégala hacia el centro del teléfono.

    • Sujeta la pestaña firmemente y hálala con fuerza, manteniendo la presión. Lentamente, debe desprenderse el adhesivo que asegura la batería y esta debería liberarse.

    • Si la pestaña se rompe o no puedes liberar la batería, puedes usar una tarjeta plástica, (como una tarjeta de crédito), o el spudger para levantar la batería.

    • Ten mucho cuidado al manipular la batería. Se podría prender fuego si se perfora o se dobla. .

    • Para instalar la nueva batería:

    • Remueve cualquier remanente de adhesivo del teléfono y limpia las áreas con pegamento usando alcohol isopropílico y una paño sin pelusa.

    • Asegura la nueva batería con adhesivo pre-cortado o cinta adhesiva doble cara. Para posicionarla correctamente, aplica el adhesivo en el teléfono, no directamente en la batería. El adhesivo debería ir alrededor del perímetro del compartimiento de la batería, pero no en el recorte rectangular del centro, (el cual es la parte trasera de la pantalla).

    • Presiona la batería firmemente en el lugar por 5 o 10 segundos.

    How is the battery connector positioned during this step? Is it fully folded over on itself?

    gsetter - Contestar

    The battery connector is not folded over itself. It makes a U-shape.

I applied the heat with the iOpener multiple times around the edges (reheating it as needed to where it could barely handle it), and they refused to lift up with the suction cup.

Eventually the screen cracked as I was attempting to pry up an edge out of desperation. First attempt at fixing my own phone = fail whale :(

Is there an ideal temperature to head the adhesive to without destroying the screen?

Jeremy Sing - Contestar

@martinsing For most adhesives, 80-85° C is about right. You might have to maintain that temperature for a few minutes before it softens up.

Jeff Suovanen -

How much deeper do I need to cut with the picks/etc top and bottom. The ~1.5mm of my picks isn’t deep enough to cut all the glue on the bottom (haven’t tried on the top yet); my sides were ‘easy’ to free in that my bad battery already lifed them free leaving the screen secured only top and bottom. I can probe deeper with a card or spudger, but how much farther should I be going.

Dan Neely - Contestar

Hi Dan,

The 1.5 mm is mainly for the sides. You can push the pick into the top and bottom to the extent that you are cutting under the bezel and not reaching the fragile display panel. I’ve updated the step to include the clarification.

Arthur Shi -

Broke the screen in the first 5 minutes. The corner is what got me and it appears it is less than 1.5mm from the edge of the device. For all the Americans on here that are unfamiliar with the metric system…1.5mm is slightly larger than the tip of a sharpened pencil. You might be wise to measure it on your triangle pick and put a peice of tape on it so you don’t go too deep. I thought it was much more than that hence me breaking the screen. Also…what you are trying to avoid is literally a paper thin piece of glass. If you even touch it with your triangle pick its over. Maybe a playing card is the better solution because it gives a little? Not sure. Definitely not worth the risk for a 10 dollar battery.

Edit: Also! If you need help visually how deep you can go with your triangle pick, look at your new replacement adhesive for the screen. The tiny tiny line of adhesive on the edge is 1.5mm for a frame of reference.

Jeffrey Higgason - Contestar

Do not try if this is your first time. Broke the screen when trying to remove the screen.

Alex Lindner - Contestar

I ended up looking up a video on youtube which resulted in me not following the instructions correctly for Step 8. (The video used the flat portion of the spudger) and ended up destroying part of the motherboard (Those tiny parts are ultra-fragile), the screen doesn’t work at all now and i can’t figure out the action sequence to enable TalkBack (Text to Speech). Be extra careful about those tiny parts!

Also I couldn’t figure out how to use the adhesive that was provided in the kit, it seems to be inverted. . .

John Taylor - Contestar

Hi John,

I’m really sorry to hear that. Did you break the connector on the motherboard, or did you knock off some tiny components near it?

There is a guide for the adhesive! You can find it in step 9, or you can find it right here.

Arthur Shi -

1 hour stuck in step 2 as the adhesive will not even give a tiny bit…so gave up, I guess I’ll continue to use my dying battery until I can hopefully get a new phone.

Host Gaming - Contestar

Great guide! A few comments:

As others mentioned, I had to apply a lot of heat to get the adhesive to release. I probabaly reheated 2x and heated for 10 minutes before I could get the first suction lift.

The time in this guide is waaay too short. Took me about 6 hours.

Be careful not to crush the antenna cable when replacing the inner chassis.

Jason - Contestar

Be careful around the top right corner where the antenna is, but this is really not all that bad as long as you keep heating it repeatedly and working the white area of the screen with the playing cards. Keep working around the edges and your patience will pay off.

brewmaster396 - Contestar

This phone definitely does not deserve a 7 repairability rating - and I kick myself that I bought it based on that rating. It deserves a “2” like its predecessor, the Nexus 6P… and I have firsthand experience trying to do battery replacements with the Pixel XL and the Nexus 6P.

Jon T. - Contestar

A small part of the Pixel XL screen started to lift off my phone.  The screen would not press back in, appeared to be pressure lifting it off  in the center of the phone.  I decided to replace the battery since I could not get anymore than a few hours out of a full charge (phone ~1.6 years old).  I used a blow drier to heat up the phone and the playing card.  The screen is extremely delicate so I took my time working it off.  I found the original battery appeared to have expanded.  The screen partially lifting off probably helped. I recommend to use adhesive strips for putting the phone back together.  I replaced the battery and I’m getting a few days now out of a full charge.

Michael Heywood - Contestar

Everything seemed done right, but at the end, the screen didn’t really turned on.

Just a little part of the screen at the top is flashing and not working like supposed to be…

what went wrong?

Monica Hamlin - Contestar

A note on this repair. I think it needs to be emphasized that the display screen is extremely delicate and one must be super careful when removing it! I did this repair and damaged the display. Thankfully there are used/refurbished ones available for around $60. I still fixed my own phone cheaper than having someone else do it and I have a new display! :-)

markduenas - Contestar

Completed repair, when attempting to power the phone on it just vibrates once, nothing ever comes up on the display so I’m assuming I killed it with the picks. I had to get in pretty deep to get all the glue. Just wondering if anyone had the same symptoms when powering on and if it was a bad display. I dont want to sink more money into replacing the display if its a lost cause. Thanks

Mark Zizzamia - Contestar

The exact same thing happened to me :( Seemed to go fine but the screen no longer turns on and it just vibrates once.

Blake Coonrod -

Well written guide. Followed it and successfully replaced the battery on my Pixel XL. Be patient when removing the screen and just take your time. Also it helps to mark the picks with lines to show how deep you can go with the picks to cut through the glue. That will help keep you from accidentally damaging the screen.

Matthew Goodwin - Contestar

What kind of tape is used on top of the interconnect cable? The grey one.

Alex Miller - Contestar

I did this repair, screen came off ok, etc. When I got everything put back together though the screen wont turn on. The phone will turn on and answer a call etc, but the screen is black. Checked to make sure it wasn’t just the backlight but no luck. It also will not connect to my computer when I plug it with a USB cord. Rendered the device useless. Any tips on how to fix this issue would be greatly appreciated!

Blake Coonrod - Contestar

Sorry to hear that! If you have the Pixel still open, can you test this:

1. Disassemble the Pixel to the point where you can disconnect the battery.

2. With the battery disconnected, connect the display cable to the motherboard. You do not need to re-attach the midframe at this point.

3. Re-connect the battery, and try to power up the phone.

Be sure to only use plastic tools while prying. Using metal tools may bridge some contacts and short delicate circuitry.

Arthur Shi -

Well that was a waste of money, the iOpener does not get hot enough. I spent over an hour heating and apply the iOpener to the top to complete step 2 and it would not move, not even slightly. Eventually I decided to try heat it up a little more than 30 seconds and the iOpener burst.

Steve Gardner - Contestar

Update: I had much more success with a hair dryer. Everything seemed to go fine but after all the step were complete my phone wouldn’t switch on. Just a single vibrate and nothing. Dead.

Steve Gardner -

Hey Steve,

It may be that the phone is powering up fine, but the display is not. If you still have the phone open, try disconnecting the battery, connecting the display, and then re-connecting the battery. You can do this with the phone open, and you don’t have to install the plastic midframe to test this.

Arthur Shi -

Not the best of the best, but I have taken a part 10 or so phones. Never broke one until this one. This job deserves it Difficulty rating. Order a screen with your battery instead of being stuck buying a new phone suddenly like I now am since the battery took over 2 weeks to get to me.

Nick Smith - Contestar

A heat pad is better than iopener in my opinon.

Dustin Liu - Contestar

Continue with the reassembly process.

But where? There is no link?

Clive McCarthy - Contestar

Hi Clive,

To reassemble, follow the directions in reverse order, taking note of any reassembly bullet notes.

Arthur Shi -

Successfully replaced battery and screen. Phone works like new except the new battery lasts only 7 hours. Yes, I followed the instructions for draining and charging the new battery. Seems that the “replacement” battery is no where near the quality of the original.

Ryan Jellesed - Contestar

Ryan, did you ever find a solution to making your replacement battery last longer? I have the same issue.

Dberk -

I biffed the screen of the first Pixel XL I had to do this on. I didn’t want to cut too deep and chance hitting the display since the adhesive is so close to the screen, but given the phone is 3 years old, it didn’t want to come off that easy.

What I did was cut all around as close as I was comfortable, then applied heat back to the top of the phone, and was gently lifting the screen while slicing through the remaining adhesive. Then once I got the top of the screen to lift with light pressure, I started working on remaining adhesive on the sides. My mistake was I should have stopped, and started trying to gently lift the bottom of the screen and slice that remaining adhesive, then that would likely get the screen up without fracturing it. Instead, as I got the top and sides of the screen free and started to go around the bottom, some adhesive on the bottom came off easier than I thought which resulted in the screen popping up and cracking.

Also, my iOpener needed 35 seconds to be effective, Weak microwave

Donabed Kopoian - Contestar

In addition, I had to use the Jimmy to get the subframe to break on that corner. A pick wasn’t cutting it. I tried for about 20 minutes and ended up needing to go with a tool that wouldn’t give so easy.

The good new is, I put the phone back together (minus the screen adhesive) and booted the phone, and aside from the cracked display randomly flashing on, everything appeared to work, and I was even getting feedback on the digitizer and was able to shut the phone off (knew where the off button was from using the phone so long), so it seems like I just need to replace the screen and it should be good.

Here’s to hoping the second Pixel XL I fix tomorrow is complete with a surviving screen. I won’t feel terrible if I’m 50% on my first go with changing a battery on a phone like this and only have to pay for one screen and not two…

Donabed Kopoian - Contestar

Also, the speaker grill was causing my suction cup to not seal good enough to really lift the top of the screen, and placing the suction cup was too far from the edge to lift it with the pressure I was comfortable applying on that potato chip screen.

So what I did was wiped my screen clean, and applied wide packing tape along the top edge of the screen, covering the speaker grill (and rolled the ends so that it wouldn’t try sticking to the frame or the table I was working on), and that did the trick.

Also, if your phone is old, be prepared to spend about an hour just removing the old adhesive so you get a fresh surface for the new adhesive to grab on to. I used a paper towel with 99% iso and cleaned it. Watch for the cushions on the mid frame. The alcohol will attack it, so pay attention to where you wipe off especially on the sides.

Donabed Kopoian - Contestar

That was a bust… 0/2. Hope the battery on the Pixel 4a can be done with just a battery and not other parts…

Donabed Kopoian - Contestar

Needed a replacement battery since one of the new ones only had 50% the capacity of the other new one. Was able to get the new screen off without breaking it (granted the new screen was only on the chassis for barely two weeks). This time, the second I got a gap on the top of the screen, I pretty much used a dispenser bottle filled with 99.9% Isopropyl Alcohol and applied it very, very liberally into the gap of the screen. I held the phone upright and applied it through the entire width of the top of the screen with the hopes it would run down and attack as much adhesive as possible. Then I let it soak while heating up the left side of the phone, cut the adhesive on the side, and when the pick was in the bottom corner I applied more alcohol to the bottom part of the phone. Ended up being able to lift the screen off the chassis without even slicing the right side and bottom since pretty much the entire parameter was soaked in alcohol.

Definitely the way I’ll remove ANY screen on any phone from now on.

Donabed Kopoian - Contestar

So I replaced my battery, put everything back successfully. Now it bootloops, any suggestions?

jhustle - Contestar

Well, I took it apart again and put it back together again and now it works. Must have been a loose connection.

jhustle -

The guide worked well for me! Plan on taking at least 2hrs for repair if this is your first time repairing a phone. Also, probably at least 75% of your time will be removing the screen. If your screen already has a crack, then you might not be able to remove it intact. Really take your time on the screen, especially at the end when you are lifting up the last bit of screen, as this is like a lever putting a lot of pressure on the part of the screen still attached. I had good luck using the picks in a cutting motion, back and forth while slowly advancing into the case. Reheated each area so that it stayed warm while cutting the glue. Even spending 3hrs on the screen is faster than shipping a new one :) . Also, after everything is replaced and you are ready to glue the screen back on, read the guide for using the screen adhesive. Again, do everything in this guide very slowly and you should be fine. Thanks for the great guide!

Matthew Wilson - Contestar

This screen is terrible to remove. The top bezel glue is no joke. Go very slow. I destroyed mine.

brundmc - Contestar

i wouldnt bother with this, i have 2 phones here and man that glue is no joke. both screens crack. mind you im not a noobie niether, i run a shop and done hundreds if not thousands of repairs within the last 10 years or so…. dont do it!

javierponcejr - Contestar

I tried this and ended up cracking the screen, but it wasn’t the way I was expecting to. The external part of the screen, I guess it would be the digitizer screen, actually seems fairly sturdy, but the part I broke was an internal glass pane, which I think is actually part of the AMOLED screen. It’s the innermost hard surface of the screen, and it can be seen in the pictures of steps 8 and 9 and the third pictures of 7 and 10. There’s a black film on the back of it.

The part that broke for me was around the bottom corners, which the pictures of steps 8 and 9 are focused on. Basically, those corners were apparently still stuck down well when I brought the pick down along the side and rounded the corner to the bottom edge, and the pulling up of the outer screen caused the inner screen to break at the corner. I got the feeling that the adhesive holding the screen onto the frame had seeped down around the edge a little bit and was holding onto the more internal parts of the screen, not just edge of the digitizer.

Sam Kremer - Contestar

My phone's battery is back to its original state now, this guide worked wonders! CAUTION: Be prepared to break your phone's screen while doing this - seriously, its a high likelihood you will. But the way I see it, a bit over $100 for a new screen and battery (screen was scratched up anyways) is certainly more cost effective than a new smartphone. Best of luck anyone who tries this!

Lucas H - Contestar

If I destroy the display, can I just buy another one and repair that too?

Gabe Darrett - Contestar

Thank you for the really detailed guide, I followed this through and amazingly did not break the screen! Although it took an hour at least to remove!

All reassembled and appeared to work fine, but now the microphone does not work, making the phone worthless and unsellable realistically. As I’ve glued the screen back on already, is there anything worth attempting or is it time to give up?

I don’t mind trying to take it apart again but it would be pointless if I don’t know how to fix the microphone. A missed connection perhaps? Everything else works and it is not water damaged at all. Any advice appreciated, thank you!
