Google Pixel Tablet: electrical connector for front sensor cable came off board-how to put

Sat, 12 Jul 2025 07:53:30 -0700

When reconnecting the front sensor cable, step 23 Google Pixel Tablet Screen Replacement, the white connector came off the board. I've been trying to get the pins on the connector to slide back into the board without success. It keeps sliding on top of the gold prongs that come out of the board. I see a space with prongs between the silver board and white connector in your image. https://guide-images.cdn.ifixit.com/igi/...

How was the connector affixed to the board?

Better yet what can I do to repair it? And why do you think the connector wouldn't slide into the prongs as they appear to do in the image. I've included a pic of the situation.

Thanks - jim

Google Pixel Tablet: Dark corner on screen

Tue, 11 Jun 2024 14:12:31 -0700

Brand new tablet in December. It was dropped and shattered the screen. Bought a new replacement screen from Ifixit and replaced. Worked great except for a dark corner. I was sent another screen suspecting the first was faulty. Still has the same problem. Could this be an issue with the display cable? Could it have been damaged when replacing the screen?

Google Pixel Tablet: Adaptive brightness sensor not working after replacing broken screen

Sat, 09 Mar 2024 05:59:38 -0700

While installing my replacement screen, I damaged the light sensor cable. With no instructions to follow, I swapped in the good cable from the broken screen. The connection seemed to be straightforward, but the sensor isn't functioning now.

If this cable is replaceable, clear instructions (and a replacement part option) would be helpful.

As an aside, reconnecting the screen cables is much more challenging than the instructions suggest (only describes as following the screen removal process in reverse, btw). In particular, a nice-to-have would be alternative guidance for left handed people, given the feasibility is directly impacted by the reconnection sequence.

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.
