Hi guys,
I tried battery replacement for my Google Pixel 2 and failed it.
I accept my failure this time and will get a new phone, but wanna win next time.
I would appreciate it if you could help review the failure.
Replacement process:
I got a battery replacement kit for Pixel 2 from iFixit and followed the instructions ([guide|103334]).
After placing everything back, the phone did not turn on.
Symptoms:
The display does not show anything.
The new battery is supplying power to the device because it vibrates momentarily when I touch the fingerprint sensor.
When I connect the device to the charging cable, it makes a long vibration (an indication of battery charging starting).
A long push of the power button does not make a long vibration (an indication of the device turning on).
Mistakes:
When the display panel is opened, the opening pick got into between the cover glass and the thin display film, causing a part of the display to detach from the glass.
When the midframe was removed, I did not notice the metallic tape attached to the top left of the frame (picture attached) must have been peeled. I found it after I tore the tape off.
Questions:
Is it possible to identify what the fatal mistake was causing the issue?
What is the function of the metallic tape I tore?
Any chance to revive the device?
Thanks,
