Google Pixel 6 Pro Disassembly Teardown Repair Video Review. Can The Parts Be Replaced?? UPDATED*

[@PBKreviews]

UPDATE: Going to pixelrepair.withgoogle.com and installing the fingerprint calibration software, then running factory reset gets the new fingerprint reader working!

[@SalemTechsperts]

Thanks so much for this update and your hard work, this is huge in terms of right to repair. Finally a company gives us the ability to re-program a part that was replaced. Hopefully the next step is to let us (consumers and shops) purchase genuine replacement parts!

So I just got my display changed on my Pixel 6 Pro with an original one but unfortunately I'm not able to proceed through the calibration tool.

Now I have a phone without the fingerprint sensor and it really sucks.... I hate it.... I've also paid like ~$500 for the original display + the change...

That's a great video. Thanks for this. I've been looking for one for a few days. I was so excited to get a Pixel on the 28th and in the moment of excitement, I stupidly inserted the SIM ejector tool into the top microphone hole. It went, maybe, half way in. My question is, could it have damaged the water resistance of the phone? It didn't affect the microphone, but I am worried the water seals might be damaged and the phone will die a few months down the line 😂 Thanks

[@PBKreviews]

Hi, thanks and you should be fine. If it was even strong enough to puncture through, the hole on top of the small hole the frame has for it would probably be too small for a large amount of water to gain access to the internals.

[@ericshufro8150]

Will using a sim ejector tool in the mic hole at the top damage the microphone or seal? Thanks!

[@PBKreviews]

On the 6 Pro, the top mic and filter are seated in a L position so above the hole and would not be damaged. On the 6 though the mic sits against the hole, and even though I doubt poking it would damage it since its a solid strong piece, it might poke a hole in the filter but again I don't think it would be large enough to cause an issue for anything getting inside the phone to cause damage.

So why do they glue down batteries? I understand to keep from moving but isn't the entire build made with like no free space that it shouldn't move already?

[@neolordie]

there is a little bit of wiggle room, because batteries expands (without the right space, you get a note 7), but there's no need for strong adhesive

[@PBKreviews]

yes as the previous com-mentor mentioned. Battery needs some room to expand when charging etc. Also there are companies (like xiaomi) who use much better adhesive design which is reusable easily without the need of heat or other tools to pry the battery off. Not sure why more companies don't go that route.

[@microgamingrepairs1981]

All things considered, the fingerprint scanner should be married to the board for security purposes. I know if my phone was stolen I wouldn't want someone with the knowledge of swapping a screen to be able to access my information by doing a simple screen swap even though one could log in to their google account and lock the phone, not everyone knows how. Considering everything else can be replaced from the looks of it it's a good thing.

[@JS-wr4tp]

Thank you for the teardown. From a security point of view does the locked fingerprint scanner mean that if the phone is locked one can't simply swap screens to gain access?

[@PBKreviews]

You're welcome. Correct, but the finger print reader itself is not what stores the finger print. It's stored on the device itself. The fingerprint reader is just a reader so if it goes bad, or you break your screen, it's going to be a pain to replace etc. However I do understand the security point of few if people are able to make 3rd party readers for the phones which don't meet the standards of google or the manufacturer and thus can be more easily fooled to reading fingerprints close to but not exactly a real finger. Has its pro's and cons but at least from what was leaked before (that the cameras might not be user replaceable), the cameras are replaceable and not locked down so that's a good thing.

[@PushyPawn]

I can't believe he gives the pixel 6 & 6pro scores of 6 & 5.5/10 respectively. All because the adhesive was "too strong". All the screws are the same and the whole thing comes apart easier than almost any other phone. I wonder if he's ever tried taking apart an iPhone? With his scoring skewered so much, it'll be negative numbers.

[@rossmanngroup]

Do they give you a schematic? Is the charge port soldered on or on a flex cable? Do you have to remove the screen, the most expensive part of the device, to get access to everything else or not? It's fair everything considered.

[@PushyPawn]

@@rossmanngroup I've seen a lot of your videos so I know where you're coming from. So, with all due respect: 1. The schematics in your possession, are they easily obtained? (& at what $) 2. The skills and knowledge to understand them and all the equipment needed to diagnose and conduct repairs, how many consumers possess all that? 3. I've been charging between 2 & 5 usb-c devices daily since 2017, not one has failed yet. (3 failed micro-usb's meanwhile) 4. As for the screens, yes indeed, some require more heat and caution to remove. However I'll happily take a job replacing both sides of a non-Apple phone, over just the back glass of an iPhone. ✌

[@PBKreviews]

I rate it based off both replaceable parts and ease of the disassembly. If the disassembly was from the back vs the front where the screen is (since most people can easily damage a working display trying to replace an internal component or part) then I am sure I would give it a higher score. Also the fact the charging port is soldered onto the board makes it much more difficult for most people to replace vs a charger port that would be on a flex cable that is user replaceable without having the know how of soldering. I have taken apart hundreds of iPhone in my day and always prefer to work on androids personally. I wouldn't rate an iPhone in negative digits, but most probably in the 3-4 range due to the amount of different sized and type screws and time it takes to take the entire thing apart.

[@anthonyamar9881]

OK Great, thank you but how do you repair/replace ONLY the back part protecting the cameras, please? can you show? I broke the back glass and the camera protection, unfortunately. Would be great if you could provide also where to find such repart parts on the web. Or maybe you could repair it for me if I send it? Then, once all parts are back together, is the phone still waterproof??

[@PBKreviews]

There aren't any original replacement parts for it that I was able to find, but there is this one which I will link in this comment. But it doesn't look to come with the replacement adhesive strip. You would need to heat up your original glass cover with a hair dryer and pry it off, apply new adhesive strip (if there isn't one included with it you can buy adhesive to cut down and use) and re apply the replacement. Here is a link for the adhesive installation which may help understand how its done and the link to the part.

Kindly thanks for your nice video! As I also saw your Pixel 6 teardown video, it has different location of haptic vibrator and it seems better in 6 pro (as I heard from some reviewers), is it correct? Secondly, the charging port of 6 pro can be released from motherboard and easy to change, and it's not changeable on pixel 6, right?

[@PBKreviews]

You're welcome. Both 6 and 6 pro charger ports are soldered onto the board. The haptic feedback motor location isn't going to really affect anything much. Since when people play games or run other apps when the phone is horizontal, it doesn't make a difference if its on the top or bottom. But I guess in vertical when you might be texting or other such actions, it might be better to have it on the bottom but again I think the feel from the haptic feedback should be felt pretty evenly throughout the phone.

Just really miss the autofocus from the 3XL's FFC as the 6 Pro uses a fixed focus lens instead. was wondering how feasible you think that kind of Frankenstein swap would be. And thanks for the great video as always! 😁

You can't just swap it with your own fingerprint reader, the phone still has security features in place which reads and verifies the installed fingerprint reader to be the same make from google etc. Also I am sure the fact that its required that the calibration software as well as a factory reset is required after installing the new reader, ensures that any "hacked" or altered fingerprint reader/software would be wipped/cleaned before that fingerprint is operational.

Everyone skips over the WiFi and BLE antennas in all these videos. At least this one shows the backside of the motherboard for more than .1 second.

use thermal paste liquid metal in the phone

[@PBKreviews]

It's not as easy as said n done. Since liquid metal is highly conductive, you cant just apply it as is. If it spills on or around the chips, it will definitely short the phone. Would require a closed compartment so the liquid metal doesn't spill out, so its not like thermal paste that you can just apply on top of the processor and not worry about it liquefying and spilling from the sides.

You should be able to select "new fingerprint sensor" in settings, then apply your password so you an re-use it. It's really sad Google went this route

Scroll down and read this guide from ifixit, they list the screws by size so you can measure them and see which goes where. www.ifixit.com/Guide/Google+Pixel+6+Pro+Battery+Replacement/148769

[@Jays1ndone]

Yes!

[@droid1appmkr]

I know Google wants pixel to be the iPhone of Android and it seeps into how these things are designed internally. All very disappointing from a repairability perspective.

[@PBKreviews]

After further testing, once the fingerprint calibration software from googles website is installed, and then the phone is factory reset after, the new fingerprint reader works.

[@MikeTrieu]

@@PBKreviews That's excellent news! Glad it was just a calibration issue and not malevolent intent. Good Guy Google™️

Thanks for all of this , but i geuss its better if u just swap the motherboard so u can know every single thing that its anti-rrpear shit

[@sheepcute]

Except for iPhones due to the welded camera bump, why don't you start disassembling phones from the back? Aren't you less likely to damage the screen through prying that way?

[@PBKreviews]

Yup, it all depends on how the phone is designed to be taken apart. This phones screws are from the front side so only things you can take apart on the back are the back glass plates/covers. I personally prefer disassembly from the back, as you said less chance of damaging the expensive screen. 😀

[@yahyahfiacel]

statistically, the most frequent reason to open a phone is due to screen damage, so maybe that's why they are designing them this way these days. But yes i prefer back access too.
