When your screen is cracked and the suction cup isn't sticking well, get some packaging tape and put one strip on the screen. It will allow the suction cup to get good suction so you can pull and get the plastic picks into the edges.
Thank you for posting this video, I'm in the exact situation as I just got my kit a couple days ago. Would've liked a video of the actual screen installation process though
Glad you liked it! The screen installation process was probably the easiest part since it was just the reverse of the previous steps so I just opted to not record it.
Well recorded video. I wish you went in more details (for example showing how you bent the connector) but I enjoyed the quality of the video and your vibe!
I applied the heat but it wasn't budging at all. Had to use a razor blade and basically slice through the clips. Didn't know that film was adhesive so didn't use it. The ifix instructions didn't even mention it on the website. And the suction cup was completely worthless.
It shouldnt be that hard if you follow the instructions online. If you're replacing just battery, you need to be careful to to damage display when removing it. I used isopropyl alcohol to soften the adhesive of the battery. When I used it the battery come out easily
I personally wouldn't feel comfortable (since I'd probably accidentally crack the display) but many people would be fine to replace the battery. The main thing I learned is to take your time with any repair.
how u made finger print/sensor calibration, does ifixt display comes with preinstalled sensor or does we need to replace with old sensor ,please help me regarding finger calibration as i am getting ifixt display its on the way .
Thankfully I didn't have to transfer over the old fingerprint sensor onto the new screen. The iFixit screen kit has the sensor built into it but it will need to be calibrated to the device. This was done by plugging it into my laptop and running Google's fingerprint support tool with it. I had no issues with calibration and it all went well.
That sounds like a display issue if it can't recognize any touch inputs to it at all. My best advice would be to contact ifixit and see if they can help get a replacement unit.

Sounds like a good trick, I'll pin the comment so others can hopefully see this as well!

Based on your experience with the screen replacement would you recommend battery replacement?

@@techdevicenews got calibrated thanx
Hi.. is it a Google original screen??. Could you please let me know?
Yep! It's a genuine Google Pixel display but it's sold by iFixit.
From my experience
Iopener isn't very useful
Its better to use hairdryer
Good to know! The iOpener took quite a while so the next time I need to repair something, I'll try a hairdryer.
I put the adhesive on wrong😢😢😢
after I finally got the display to show the screen is unresponsive to the touch
Same. Any solution ?

@@Sir2Times Ifixit just sent me a return label
How long did it take to receive the repair kit?
It only took 4 days. Ordered on Monday and received it on Friday.
