Google Pixel 7: Is the glass in front of the cameras replaceable?

Thu, 21 Mar 2024 11:19:06 -0700

Just got the phone yesterday, and somehow the glass in front of the video camera has broken, almost as if something stabbed it. Just the protective glass though as the camera works fine. Is there a possibility that you could replace that glass panel?

Google Pixel 7: USB-C replacement guide

Wed, 09 Apr 2025 18:59:01 -0700

Hi I've been looking for a guide to replace the USB-C Port of this device but found nothing. Given that this Port is disappointingly soldered to the board a guide on how to do it properly would be very welcome. I bought the device and I didn't even think that it could be soldered as with all the devices i had in the past it was never soldered and always easily replaceable including past Pixel devices. Thanks in advance for your help.

Google Pixel 7: broken display connection, (botched screen + battery replacement)

Thu, 06 Mar 2025 09:38:37 -0700

I tried to replace the screen on my pixel 7, but in trying too hard to get the battery out i seem to have damaged the connector for the display. is it fixable, or do i need to replace the motherboard / give up?
apologies for the poor quality photo, i had to use my old & heavy camera and a loupe to get the photo, as what i would normally use is in this state.
it seems to me like one of the pins is broken and maybe a resistor is missing? i cant really tell as im not sure what it is supposed to look like.

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: My screen won't turn on?

Tue, 19 Mar 2024 15:02:36 -0700

I replaced my pixel 7 screen but it won't light up. Prior to fixing, there was a portion of screen that lit up, vibration worked when someone was calling. Even though the screen vibrated where the unlock pin was, we couldn't tell if it actually unlocked. So although there was some light prior to fixing, there is none now. Replacing went pretty easy and have not secured it fully yet. The phone was on prior to replacing. It will still vibrate on a incoming call.

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.

Google Pixel 7: The Screen is on but not responsive.

Thu, 26 Dec 2024 19:47:26 -0700

I cannot turn on the screen by touching the screen.

My pixel 7 screen could be turned on by the power button.

But after the screen is on, there is no response, it cant feel my finger print.

I cant unlock it.

I tried hard restart, power button + volume up. The issue is still here.

I removed the screen protector.

I tried safe mode, no response.

Further information, I replaced the screen by myself using ifixit repairing-kit 4 months ago. It was working until yesterday.

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: Where can I find a replacement motherboard?

Sat, 31 Aug 2024 10:11:57 -0700

My Google Pixel 7 does not charge or turn on. I took it to Asurion, who said the motherboard short circuited and would need a motherboard replacement. I'm much more concerned about recovering the data on the device than getting it back up and running.

A couple prominent data recovery companies have said that I need to replace the motherboard reball stencils, but replacement motherboards were not available.

I contacted Google tech support, who said that while they're not able to directly provide motherboards, I might be able to find a replacement motherboard from ifixit. However, ifixit said they do not carry Pixel 7 motherboards.

I would appreciate any help you can provide to find legit Pixel 7 motherboards.

Thanks!

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?
