The Pixel Slate Folio keyboard appears to get wear on the ribbon cable in the flexible hinge. It would be nice to be able to replace the cable.

Google Pixel Slate: What solutions are you using for screen adhesive?

Thu, 28 Sep 2023 04:50:24 -0700

Seems like an easy device to get into, but I don't see any pre-cut adhesive for re-assembly available anywhere. So I am wondering what people have been going with. Just manually cutting strips off a roll? Does anyone actually use that B-7000 glue on devices like this?

I always cut up pieces of 1 or 2mm wide double-sided tape on my Pixel C, that works great but it's an annoying pain in the butt that takes forever.

I picked up a pair of Slates, one really sweet m3 that got into my hands with 14 cycles showing on battery. The other is i7 128GB that's been a bit dented and beat up, so plan is to open em both an swap the faster board into the nicer tablet. I like to have some idea of what I need to have on hand before I open them up.

So many people hate this tablet that you can't even find parts listed anywhere other than the questionable Amazon battery. I am hoping it's a simple one to one swap between motherboards but the only teardown I can find is this marginal one on iFixit.

Google Pixel Slate: When off for few hours it won't turn on unless I plug in charger twice

Fri, 17 Jun 2022 13:45:23 -0700

When my pixel slate is off for a few hours it won’t turn on when I press the power button (The power button works when it is off for less then a few hours). To turn it on I have to plug the charger in twice. When I first plug in the charger the charging light doesn't turns on and then when I plug it in again the charger light turns on then blinks once then stays on and then the power automatically turns on as the tablet starts up

I can take my charger out of the tablet at this point as the tablet will keep running. It only needs my charger to turn on when the tablet has been turned off for a few hours otherwise everything works as normal (by normal I mean the charging light turns on and stays on upon the first plug in and the power button turns on the computer just fine without the charger).

I contacted the google pixel slate support and they got me to do a hard reset and then a battery test and we found that the battery works fine and the problem still persisted. That’s all they could do though (warranty is expired)

I would like to fix this. Any help would be appreciated.
