Mon, 09 Mar 2026 18:21:15 -0700

Recently had a customer come in with a Pixel that shuts off immediately when it boots up into the UI.I replaced the battery assuming that was the issue but now Im thinking its a software issue because the boot loader works fine.Any ideas to save the customers data?

Google Pixel 7 Pro: Forgot to put the plastic braket backin, should I open it again?

Sat, 17 Jan 2026 05:21:37 -0700

Hello,

As it is not stated in the tuto, i didn't check the plastic braket before locking back the screen.

Should I open it again and risking breaking the screen ?

And if I open it I think I have to buy 2 adhesive ? One for the screen to the bracket and one for the bracket to the case ?

Thanks in advance.

Google Pixel 7 Pro: All of a sudden I have very limited mobile connection

Wed, 05 Nov 2025 15:30:47 -0700

Overnight it seems like my mobile connection went from good to barely usable. Places on my property I used to be able to connect just don't work any more. When I'm out and about I often can't make a call. I see that there is a replacement antenna. Is there any way to diagnose this problem before ripping it apart and hoping that replacing the antenna will work?

Google Pixel 7 Pro: Pixel 7 Pro Screen freaking out when hot

Thu, 17 Jul 2025 09:16:10 -0700

So a few months back I've acquired an pixel 7 pro (GE2AE) from ebay to daily drive GrapheneOS. Been a blast few months until the summer (Vegas Heat being between 115-120F these past few weeks) moment I step outside the screen cooks and when I was recording a live event at the speedway that I normally do with the phones in the past, it overheat and shutdown and when I powered it back on moment it gets hot, the screen will melt and if I lock the screen it will take an active of luck just to show the screen to unlock or if I put it on ice (cold air technically) to cool it down it will return functionality, but with anything white background it has noticeable graphic bleed if that makes sense where the colors will draw downwards. Is this a common problem with these phones or could this be an replacement screen not mentioned in the ebay sale?

Google Pixel 7 Pro: Couldn't download software for fingerprint recalibration Google Pixel

Thu, 27 Feb 2025 20:39:55 -0700

If you get an error downloading the software for recalibrating your Google Pixel's fingerprint sensor in https://pixelrepair.withgoogle.com/udfps. It is likely due to chrome extensions blocking it. I had like 3 extensions which I disabled and it started to work. Those were adblocker, Ghostery and Privacy badger

I am posting this so that if anyone comes across this issue it may solve it.

P.S I think this also works for "Update or reinstall your Pixel device software"

Google Pixel 7 Pro: Replacement screen not turning on after reboot

Fri, 03 Jan 2025 17:26:53 -0700

Hi folks,

I recently got a free Pixel 7 Pro with a busted screen from a friend. Got a new one from AliExpress (original Google parts are not available here in Brazil, or far too expensive), followed the iFixit Guide, replaced the screen, everything went fine. Good colors, solid image, touch works, all good. Until I reboot or shut down the phone.

Every single time I do this, the new screen does not turn on, and the only way I have found to get it back is to unplug and plug it again. I can hear the phone chime or vibrate, so it is on.

I thought I had a bad screen, filed a complaint with the seller, got a new one, SAME behavior. So now I'm starting to think that 1) I broke something else during the replacement (Unlikely. I'm not a pro, but I do have experience, and I am very careful) or 2) Two screens from the same (high-rated) vendor are bad somehow?

Has anyone seen this? The phone was OFF during the replacement, and I already tried disconnecting/reconnecting the battery.

Regards,

Adding further context to my own question...

The behavior I described is consistent with the dreaded "Black Screen" bug. But I get it EVERY time I reboot the device. Holding Power + Vol UP for about 1 minute forces a reboot and puts things back on track, so IN THEORY everything should be fine. But knowing that the bug exists, and I haven't "solved" it, will bug me in the long run.

Tried updating the phone to Android 15 (was still on 14), but the issue persists.

Google Pixel 7 Pro: Fingerprint scanner not working after running recalibration software

Wed, 18 Dec 2024 07:59:54 -0700

After replacing my screen I was getting the "Can't use fingerprint sensor. Visit a repair provider" Message. I was able to run the recalibration software fastboot mode on the phone using Windows 10. No driver install| required. After just one reboot I could access the fingerprint settings and create a new fingerprint. After that, the phone does not ever recognize the fingerprint and requires a pattern to unlock/verify. I have tried recreating several new fingerprint scans with different fingers. Nothing fixes this problem. Any advice before I contact iFixit for a second new replacement screen?

Google Pixel 7 Pro: Screen gets black on a light bakground, really dim otherwise. Pix 7P

Sat, 07 Dec 2024 02:15:33 -0700

I replaced my GE2AE Pixel 7 Pro 256gb screen and now it's dim and won't display anything on a bright screen, yet it is fine while it turns on/off and normal brightness at those times

I assume it's the resistors, but I don't see any missing. I also replaced the battery and just replaced the graphite/graphene sheet. I also know someone good with micro soldering, so if it needs new resistors or something I'm sure he could fix it. I would appreciate any help!!!

Google Pixel 7 Pro: Mic doesn't work after changing screen

Tue, 08 Oct 2024 23:46:53 -0700

I have replaced my broken screen with one bought here on IFIXIT but I see that the microphone does not work, I have tried everything (factory reset, examine the ports to see if there is a physical problem) but nothing. I have read that it may be a problem with the fingerprint software, but being so what can be done?

Google Pixel 7 Pro: Trying to diagnose what is currently wrong

Sat, 05 Oct 2024 12:00:28 -0700

Just replaced a bad battery, here's the phone's current behavior:

No reaction from screen on power up
Pressing the power button causes a single vibration
Turning on a bluetooth headset that was paired to it and nothing else in it's life results in a 'connected' declaration.
- Ran around and confirmed that nothing else had picked it up anyway
Removing the charging cable and letting the phone sit for a while to drain resulted in it not vibrating when pressing the power button until I plugged it back into the charger.

I'm suspecting that I accidentally killed the screen when replacing the battery, but would like to hear if there were other checks I can perform or other possible theories.

Google Pixel 7 Pro: Replacement screen cant work after reboot

Sun, 29 Sep 2024 03:38:16 -0700

I have a very interesting issue. I have a pixel 7 pro. My screen touch is not working and bought a replacement unit. When I change the screen it was working fine. Touch and fingerprint sensor all working fine, can on and off also. However, once i restart the phone, the screen stops working. In order for the screen to work again. I need to remove and reconnect the screen connector (when the phone is on) and the screen will work perfectly again. However once i reboot, the same issue happens.

So, i tried the few solutions and still the same Issues.

Factory reset
Disconnect the battery and reconnect
update android to latest version.

So now the only way to keep the phone working is not to reboot which is scary. Any suggestions?

Google Pixel 7 Pro: very annoying those sharp spring around google pixel 7 pro

Tue, 10 Sep 2024 18:35:03 -0700

Hi Everyone

I just fixed google pixel 7 pro screen (refurbish one)

you can see below pictures there are many sharp springs around in screen contacts

of course there is no bending spring damage I double checked before installing screen

I've never dropped or any shock (very clean screen)

but black dot coming from top left corner in a couple of days

which comes from spring area

We contacted refurbish company they said physical damage so cannot return

I was just wondering what the heck those springs are?

will it be okay I all take off the springs?

I hate google pixel phone architecture very poor design compare with iphone and samsung

Anyway plz let me know what those spring are for????

Thank you

Google Pixel 7 Pro: Replacement screen in compatible due to plastic clips.

Mon, 26 Aug 2024 09:28:39 -0700

Replacement screen has plastic clips attached where original screen did not have clips or guides in the corners. there are no spacing on the phone where these corners guides can go, meaning I can't "clip" my screen into place. Original screen is fully flat across all edges with no plastic clips attached at all.

Google Pixel 7 Pro: Why is my phone not turning on after screen replacement

Fri, 19 Jul 2024 15:15:16 -0700

Hi I recently dropped my Google pixel, screen cracked. I got a replacement screen, but when I pressed the power button the phone just vibrates and doesn't actually turn on. I tried charging thinking the battery was dead. I connected it to my computer...nothing.
