If not, you will need to reinstall the original fingerprint reader to your new replacement screen. If you are replacing the fingerprint reader, you will need to [link|https://pixelrepair.withgoogle.com/udfps|recalibrate the reader] to maintain its functionality. It is also worth noting however that there have been documented issues with recalibrating the reader for many people - the cause of the issue is unconfirmed, but some sources say that it may be when the new fingerprint readers are used with non-genuine screens. | | | If the frame is deformed, it's important to replace it to make sure the new screen will mount correctly and won’t suffer damage from uneven pressure. | | | If your battery is swollen, [[What to do with a swollen battery|take appropriate precautions|new_window=true]]. Before disassembling your device, ***discharge the battery below 25%***. This reduces the risk of a dangerous thermal event if the battery is accidentally damaged during the repair. | | | Caution: The Pixel 6 contains class 1 lasers. Disassembly could result in exposure to invisible infrared laser emissions. | | | ***Note:*** This guide instructs you to replace only the screen, including its safety plastic frame. However, some replacement screens for this phone come without the pre-installed frame (a.k.a. chassis), which requires a different removal procedure. Make sure you have the correct part before starting this guide. | | | Retaining water resistance after the repair will depend on how well you reapply the adhesive, but your device will lose its IP (Ingress Protection) rating. | | | Before you begin this procedure, be sure to have a set of replacement adhesives for the screen. |
