Throughout this repair, keep track of each screw and make sure it goes back exactly where it came from.

While the Pixel 8a uses Torx Plus screws, standard Torx bits work. Make sure to apply constant, downward force to prevent stripping.

Use a Torx Plus 3IP screwdriver to remove the 15 screws securing the logic board cover:

Thirteen 4.3 mm‑long screws

Two 1.9 mm‑long screws
