This guide will show how to replace the motherboard of a Google Pixel Slate (Model #GA00347-US).
For the Google Pixel Slate, the motherboard is responsible for connecting all hardware within the device to the processor. Additionally, it distributes electricity to the power supply and defines other components of the inner system, such as the memory modules, storage devices, and graphics card.
Indicators for a faulty motherboard may include a failed boot-up sequence, slowed performance/glitches, or overheating. If you encounter one of these errors, or any of the errors listed here, you may want to inspect your device's motherboard.
Prior to beginning this repair, make sure the device is turned off completely and disconnected from power.
