    • Let your Pixel's battery drain below 25% before starting this repair. A charged lithium‑ion battery may catch fire if damaged.

    • Unplug all cables and completely power down your phone.

  2. Google Pixel 9 Series Screen Separation, Tape over any cracks: crwdns2935265:02crwdnd2935265:01crwdnd2935265:02crwdne2935265:0 Google Pixel 9 Series Screen Separation, Tape over any cracks: crwdns2935265:02crwdnd2935265:02crwdnd2935265:02crwdne2935265:0

    • Glass shards can complicate disassembly—or worse, cause injury. If your phone has a cracked screen, follow these steps:

    • Apply overlapping strips of packing tape to the cracked glass until the whole screen is covered—this will allow the suction cup to stick to the screen.

    • Only cover the glass itself—don't stick any tape to the frame.

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

    • Adhesive secures the screen to the frame. Heating the screen softens the adhesive, making it easier to separate.

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

    • Be careful not to overheat the phone—the battery and plastic components are susceptible to heat damage. Stop heating if the frame becomes too hot to touch.

    • There are delicate metal spring‑contacts around the perimeter of your device. To prevent damaging them when separating the screen, don't insert your pick more than 3 mm deep.

    • Measure 3 mm from the tip and mark the opening pick with a permanent marker.

    • Alternatively, tape a coin to a pick 3 mm from the tip.

    • Inserting an opening pick is difficult. Be patient and reheat the screen at any point if it feels stuck.

    • 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.

    • A plastic frame is attached to the backside of the display. When inserting your pick, make sure it's underneath this frame, and not between the frame and the display glass.
