Google Pixel 7: Google Pixel 7 battery question mark, after battery replacement.

Tue, 31 Mar 2026 14:06:20 -0700

I recently replaced my battery in my pixel, afterwards it showed it was 50% charged. I then drained the battery to do a calibration now it is not charging. When charging it shows a question mark battery icon and drains super quickly. It was having this problem before I replaced the battery. Could this be a motherboard issue or a battery connector problem?

Google Pixel 7: Replacement screen won't turn on

Thu, 19 Mar 2026 14:10:25 -0700

I've purchased a genuine Pixel 7 screen replacement from iFixit. The original screen had a black spot that slowly kept growing to the point where you cannot use the screen at all. I've carefully taken the screen off with my repair kit and connected the screen to the phone. No image or anything comes up when powering on the phone. I've checked the connections and nothing is bent or ripped. The touch capabilities seem to be working though.

Any good suggestions?

Hi! I want to buy a battery replacment kit from ifixit. I know that it is a genuine part but batteries degrade a lot when they are not used. Does ifixit sell the batteries made in the last couple of months, or are they old stock? Thank you!

Google Pixel 7: Why is fingerprint scanner requiring multiple attempts?

Sat, 20 Dec 2025 19:24:48 -0700

I replaced the screen on my Google Pixel 7 and connected it to my computer to load the fingerprint software. Now the phone requires 2–3 fingerprint attempts every time I try to unlock it.

I removed the existing saved fingerprints and added a new one, but that didn’t help. In fact, the scanner kept saying it couldn’t read my fingerprint during setup. Is there another fix I should try, or is it possible the replacement part is defective?

Google Pixel 7: Water condensation on camera lenses after water spillage

Sat, 06 Sep 2025 10:53:42 -0700

I have a 2 year old Pixel 7, and I accidentally spilled some water on it, but I wiped it off the phone with a cloth and didn't think much of it, however just a couple hours later I started noticing that there was a significant amount of water condensation primarily under the display on the selfie camera, and a little bit on the back set of cameras, which was really surprising, because this phone is IP68 water resistant rated, and this is not the first time its come in contact with water unintentionally, and I've never had this problem before in the time I've owned it.

I'm assuming its safe to conclude the water resistant seal is broken, but the LDI (liquid damage indicator) in the SIM card slot is not indicating water exposure. The phone itself is working perfectly, except of course the blurry cameras. I've still decided to turn it off to prevent damage (although a few hours after I noticed the condensation; it was working well before I turned it off).

Should I just wait for the condensation to clear and/or should I take it to a repair shop and get it checked out?

Is is true that even if the condensation clears there could still be water inside, corroding the mainboard over time? (even though the LDI doesn't indicate water exposure)

Is there any way to restore the water resistant seal?

Google Pixel 7: Replaced battery, new battery doesn't hold charge & quickly depletes

Wed, 20 Aug 2025 12:09:02 -0700

I replaced my Pixel 7 battery, and the new battery will not charge past about 20%, depletes at 1% every couple seconds, and the top left right quadrant (looking at it with screen facing front) gets hot very quickly. What could be causing this? Damaged thermal pad? Battery not seated correctly?

Google Pixel 7: Screen detached from plastic safety frame

Fri, 08 Aug 2025 03:15:14 -0700

The battery was swollen and pushed the screen out, and when opening the phone I didn’t realise that instead of separating the screen with its frame from the chassis I was actually separating the screen from the safety frame.

The photo above should make it clearer.

Now I imagine the obvious answer would be to get a replacement screen but tbh having already spent 80€ for the battery kit I don’t think it’s worth it (also the screen is fine)

Any chance I can reassemble the screen and frame? What glue could work?

Google Pixel 7: Pixel 7 vibrates only briefly after display replacement

Wed, 06 Aug 2025 14:19:54 -0700

After I replaced the display and then switched on the mobile phone without gluing the display, it started up briefly and the display showed the start screen. A few seconds later, the display suddenly went black. I realised that the battery was empty, so I connected a charging cable.

I tried again shortly afterwards, but this time the display remained black. The Pixel 7 only vibrates very briefly.

What could that be? How can I interpret this vibration?

My mobile phone had water damage and when I tried to open it to clean the circuit board, the display cracked.

I removed the circuit board, cleaned it with isopropanol and then reassembled it. The water had only penetrated a tiny bit at the top of the camera module. I don't think the battery was damaged, but can I rule that out somehow?

Many thanks in advance.

Google Pixel 7: Google Pixel 7 Won’t Charge After Battery Replacement

Mon, 23 Jun 2025 16:21:17 -0700

Update - If I boot the phone into fastboot mode, it will not shut down when plugged in and it charges at around 10w. Because it charges in fastboot mode, I would assume the charging circuit isn't the problem and it's software related.

Video of behavior.

I installed a brand new genuine Google battery in this Pixel 7, following iFixit’s recommended steps: drain to 0%, charge to 100%, repeat. After draining it to 0%, the phone now won’t charge at all.

In this video, I show what happens when I plug it in—the wattage briefly ramps up, then drops to 0.4W, which isn’t enough to charge the phone.

I’ve tried multiple PD power supplies (Google, MacBook, and others), different cables, and every button combo I could think of (power, power + volume down, etc.)—no luck.

The phone is in like-new condition and I used an official Google battery. Any ideas on what to try next? I’d really appreciate your help!

Google Pixel 7: fingerprint calibration after replacing screen

Fri, 06 Jun 2025 07:02:43 -0700

after replacing my screen you must recalibrate your fingerprint sensor with some software from google and im having issues with the tool installing on my phone. is there something that im missing, or is it an issues with the display i received and i should ask for another because ive also seen people post saying they didnt have to do anything to get the fingerprint sensor to work.

I see this has been an issue many other people have had, but googles calibration tool no longer is able to install the tool to do this. ive seen a work around posted, but it requires you to downgrade your OS and factory reset your device to then be able to get the tool to install.

Google Pixel 7: C type Charging Port Broken

Tue, 27 May 2025 22:08:15 -0700

i would like to replace/ repair the charge port on my google pixel. The c type charge port on the phone (male) is broken therefore inserting the charge cable ( female) does not work. I also need the same port to transfer data from my phone to the lap top or external storage as my screen ( not broken) is no longer responding to my finger interaction therefor can not log in my phone.

I need to recover the data on my phone , i am currently charging the phone with a magnetic docking charger.

Really need help on which parts to but that would help me charge through the port and and download my memory to an external drive/location.

HELPPPPP
