Great 👍

I really appreciate when people take the time to make videos like this. I am going to be attempting this fix after I recently destroyed my battery by using my phone outside in sub-freezing temperatures. Though I am no expert in Li-On tech, my battery does say not to heat it past 45 C. So this might be the only area that is of concern because the readout says nearly 70 C in this video. Another tutorial states to drain the battery down to at least 25%, so maybe that reduces the risk?

[@christophebrioude9137]

very hard to do. Never use metalic tool to extract the battery !!! the screen connector is very breakable. i've broken some little connector and now my phone is out of order :(

was it your first replacement, I learned over the years that smartphones are like women, we must be gently and caring 🙂

[@christophebrioude9137]

@ yes it was. I understand better then. I don't know how to do with women. I'm not used to it 🤭🤣🤣

[@cheesecakemilkshake8043]

It's true use plastic panel tool to pry battery not metal

[@bradock89]

Do you have any suggestion for a battery replacement? A battery company or a website to find it? I am looking for a battery for Pixel 5 and pixel 3XL.

[@stufffstufffington]

This was an excellent video, I was able to replace my battery without any problem. Thank you!

[@DIYGeardo]

Glad it helpedp.

one of my battery glue tabs broke, it's really frustrating, but with patience I managed to replace the battery easily. Took me around 1h30min

[@GaldyTommyRivera]

¡Gracias!

[@DIYGeardo]

Thank You...

[@GaldyTommyRivera]

@@DIYGeardo Thanks For The Tutorial!! 😎

[@talhamirza1691]

Which number screwdriver to use for opening the screws please help I'm unable to open it even I stripped a screw

[@the_real_cookiez]

I wanna say T3 or T2. The regular ifixit repair kit doesn't work and it's a star shaped so it's one of the Ts. However the kit only goes down to T4 and T4 is still bigger than the screws. Edit 1: Got it! According to the ifixit google pixel 5 battery replacement guide, it's a T3. I just ordered one and I'll update this comment once it arrives. Edit 2: Confirmed T3 screwdriver.

[@waikas]

I used a kitchen knife lol... Works just fine

[@teirdalin]

Thank you, my phones battery decided to finally start melting things and causing smoke so I took it out and am ordering a new one. I really hope it's not too late for my phone.

[@DIYGeardo]

You can try to replace it

[@jamesbrown4414]

What should I do if the phone won't turn on after the battery replacement? I can get the phone to go into fast boot menu but thats it. I can't get thephone to boot up to main screen. Help!

[@cheesecakemilkshake8043]

Somehow u corrupted the ROM maybe touched something to circuit board while battery was still connected and shorted out the OS ......sorry... probably need a new board....IDK if u had custom bootloader or not....if u did reflash factory ROM

[@cheesecakemilkshake8043]

Thanks nice video thanks for showing finish too!

[@DIYGeardo]

No problem 👍

[@TonyEarlsTrinityLawns]

Thank you Geardo for your very informative video. 😀 With your help I have changed the battery, but infortunately I think I have purchased a faulty battery. 😮‍💨 I just have a "?" symbol appear on the screen during testing. I have repeated the procedure to make sure I have installed the battery connector correctly and it seems OK. I have put the phone "on Charge" just to make sure the battery is not too flat. My original battery became swollen with probably too much charging.

[@DIYGeardo]

Thanks for your feedback, maybe the new battery is bad.

[@Gunflame69]

Video is amazing, specially the narration. Thanks for the help

[@DIYGeardo]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@PlayVictim306]

bro, what screwdriver you use for pixel 5?

[@deancowanau]

T3

[@kaysk8000]

where can i get new screen from and better price?

[@DIYGeardo]

Location

[@christrudell942]

What temperature did you use for the heating pad and how long did you heat it?

[@speederc3662]

Coask

[@jamesbullock9209]

About 150F will do for the heating pad and leave it about 5-10 minutes, but I recommend using a heat gun. Just make sure you keep it moving so it’ll soften the adhesive without damaging the LCD within the screen.

[@rowanfoster7630]

Thank you so much for this video! It was a bit nerve wracking, but your video was so well done and helpful that I was able to change the battery without having done so before on this phone. The narration was excellent.

[@DIYGeardo]

Glad it helped!

[@damsiththewsara6996]

Great job man 👏 What happen if graphite tape removed ?

[@DIYGeardo]

Thanks and it might get overheat easily

[@damsiththewsara6996]

[@therealb888]

Hi, where do you buy genuine google pixel 5 or 5a batteries other than ifixit? Is it possible to use the pixel 5a battery in pixel 5?

[@DIYGeardo]

It is not compatible with pixel 5a, your location, we can get you the genuine batteries

[@abhinm6035]

Is this original google pixel's battery?

[@DIYGeardo]

Yes

[@sgarridojr]

Oma so happy that all new phones in EU will need to have an easy replaceable battery. They make it so complicated to do this.

[@DIYGeardo]

Four more years and never know what will happen prior to that. ✌️

[@GaldyTommyRivera]

Thanks! 😎

[@DIYGeardo]

Welcome!

[@md8590]

Does this guy offer services to the public? I've been looking for an expert to change the battery on my p5, im too paranoid to take it to a random phone repair man. Did someone in the comments say hes in Australia? Just bought a p8 for my partner and honestly, for my use there is zero advantage over the 5 plus it is bigger and heavier and no fingerprint reader

[@SkatVideo]

Спасибо за видео автору канала, но вот что хочу сказать: То что очевидно для мастера не очевидно для обывателя. У вас на видео вы поддеваете батарею металлическим инструментом, я обратил на это внимание и сделал точно так же. По итогу из батареи пошел огонь, я случайным образом продырявил корпус батареи. НЕ ИСПОЛЬЗУЙТЕ МЕТАЛЛИЧЕСКИЙ ИНСТРУМЕНТ ПРИ ПОДЪЕМЕ БАТАРЕИ. Если бы не удача, всё бы не ограничилось воспламенением и дошло бы до взрыва, и я бы не писал этот комментарий. Берегите себя.

[@DIYGeardo]

Thanks for your feedback..Battery won't caught in fire without an issue. Maybe it was swollen or something major. Always disconnect the battery too

[@PlayVictim306]

can i use hair dryer for heat gun?😅

[@DIYGeardo]

Yes, Possible

[@PlayVictim306]

@@DIYGeardo I want to ask again, will the GPixel 5's IP68 certification be lost after repairs? Is there a way to prevent ip68 from being lost?

[@DIYGeardo]

@@PlayVictim306 yes it will loose. To keep it you need to go with the official repair centre.

[@jakeb.3903]

First, you did a wonderful job making the video. Felt easy to follow. Wondering if you could help me troubleshoot. After connecting display, I turned on display for screen test and there is one pink and several white vertical lines running through the display. There is no visible cracks or damage to the display. I have disconnected and reconnected the display several times hoping I just didn't connect it correctly. There is no visible damage to the LCD connector. Is there something I could have done wrong to cause this?

[@DIYGeardo]

Seems like screen got an extra force or some sort of damage while removing. Most of the times lines are happening due to a screen damage. You can try with another screen. But overall these designs are not great for repairs. Specially screen removal for the battery replacement.

[@whoever_81]

They couldn't have made it more difficult. God damn.

[@DIYGeardo]

Yep kind of yes

[@uncorn444]

Where u from?

[@ainazdaniel9832]

Australia

[@esakki.]

how can i ship the battery to india

[@DIYGeardo]

There are some methods to ship

[@Ddboyz465]

Damn thats hard

[@PhilCookiebrain]

The best phone Google has built but unfortunately also one of the most difficult. I think its time for a new one. :(

[@simons.5442]

Best in terms of Size and Feeling but Components are really shitty to repair even compared to Chinese Phones of the usual calibre.

[@RayThackeray]

I accidentally pierced my old battery wrap and it immediately set fucking fire to the whole schebang. What a disaster.

[@DIYGeardo]

Emmm

[@simons.5442]

Meh, I really abused my Oppo Find X3 Pro and its still rock solid ... barely touched the Pixel 5 and the screen snapped. The Quality in components is vastly shit in comparission. Feels like the Pixel was made with - No Repair in mind. I will keep that in mind for the next purchase for sure ...

Next, Hoping to get pixel 7 repair guides

[@waikas]

Anyone else got sparks taking battery out? Lol Quite an easy job though... Done it in 25 mins with nothing but a knife and gorilla glue

[@RayThackeray]

My fucking battery cayght fire and destroyed everything

[@jamestheyellowdart]

​@@RayThackeraywhat a legend. I thought your other comment was a joke, and the creator's response (emmmm) was hilarious. But since you're apparently real... RIP your phone, I'm sorry to hear that. If it's any consolation, I've destroyed more than one piece of electronics with a bit of amateur attempted repair work. Most notably a PS2 in highschool after a failed Japanese region mod. pity. I accidentally bricked a laptop once too attempting to change a screen. I've successfully fixed other things, but there's no shame in hiring out a project that doesn't look like I'm 100% confident I could pull it off without setting fire to the house and spilling piping hot gravy all over myself. God speed brother, I suppose one of us here in the comments needed to set fire to their phone on accident while attempting to follow this video. Thanks for taking one for the team.
