This video provides a comprehensive, step-by-step guide for replacing the front screen of a Google Pixel 7 Pro. It covers the preparatory steps of heating the device to loosen adhesive, careful removal of the old screen while avoiding internal components, and meticulous cleaning of the chassis. The process then details the application of a genuine Google adhesive and the installation of the new display. A critical post-repair step is also demonstrated: calibrating the fingerprint sensor using a dedicated Google web tool while the phone is in fastboot mode, ensuring full functionality of the device after the screen replacement.
Summarizing Google Pixel 7 Pro Screen Replacement
0:00 Prepare for Screen Removal: Heat the phone (e.g., on a heat mat for 10 minutes or with a heat gun) to soften the adhesive, making the screen easier to remove.
0:15 Remove the Old Screen: Use a suction cup, ideally on an undamaged lower section of the screen. Carefully insert a guitar pick a few millimeters around the edges to separate the adhesive, being cautious of the UFS cable at the bottom of the phone.
1:02 Open the Device: The screen opens like a book cover. Continue to separate the adhesive around the edges while the phone is still warm.
1:29 Detach the Screen Connector: Locate a small clip on the screen's connector. Use tweezers to pull it horizontally, allowing the screen to fully detach.
1:48 Clean the Chassis: Thoroughly clean the metal chassis edge using acetone and a small brush to remove all traces of old adhesive, preparing it for the new screen.
2:23 Apply New Adhesive: Place a genuine Google Pixel 7 Pro LCD display adhesive onto the chassis, ensuring the indentation for the ear speaker at the top aligns. Start by lining it up from the left-hand corner/edge, then press it down firmly around the perimeter.
3:03 Prepare the New Screen: Remove all protective films from the new display, including the one covering the front camera.
3:56 Connect the New Screen: Plug the new screen's connector into the phone. Use the back of tweezers to gently push it down and secure it.
4:19 Secure the Connector Clip: Reattach the small clip that holds the screen connector in place.
4:31 Initial Power On & Troubleshooting: Press the power button to turn on the phone. If a Google logo doesn't appear, the phone might not have been fully powered off. To resolve this, use Power + Volume Down to enter recovery mode, then select "Restart bootloader" and "Start" to power on correctly.
5:01 Final Screen Attachment: Remove the final blue protective film from the adhesive. Carefully align the new screen from the top, then gently press the entire screen down to firmly secure it to the chassis.
5:33 Fingerprint Sensor Calibration: This crucial post-repair step requires plugging the phone into a PC using a high-quality USB-C cable (e.g., genuine Google/Samsung/power delivery cable).
5:48 Navigate to the Calibration Tool: On the PC, open a web browser and go to pixelrepair.withgoogle.com/udfps.
5:55 Enter Fastboot Mode: With the phone turned off, press and hold the Power and Volume Down buttons for 3 seconds until the device turns on and displays "Fastboot Mode."
6:26 Perform Calibration: On the website, click "Connect device," select the Pixel 7 Pro from the list, and click "Connect." Follow the prompts to "Install software," which will recalibrate the fingerprint sensor. A confirmation message of "Install successful" indicates completion.
