Title
Google Pixel 4 Left Grip Sensor Replacement
Introduction
Use this guide to replace the left grip sensor and flex cable in your Google Pixel 4.
'''For your safety, discharge your battery below 25% before disassembling your phone.''' This reduces the risk of a dangerous thermal event if the battery is accidentally damaged during the repair.
'''This procedure will almost always destructively remove the Pixel 4’s grip sensors.''' The sensors are strongly adhered to the phone’s midframe and will usually come out in pieces. Before you begin this procedure, be sure to have replacement parts.
'''Caution:''' Google warns that disassembly of the front laser assembly could result in hazardous exposure to invisible infrared laser emissions. Read their safety warnings [https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/9369238?hl=en|here].
