"triangle opening​ tool"=guitar pick

[@davidfisher8951]

Well, it's a guitar pick inspired opening tool. A little thick to make a good pick. You know what I mean? Not trying to sound condescending or anything like that.

I hollered when I got to this comment cuz SAME RESPONSE 🤣

[@edmundcramp4583]

Good instructions and very helpful - following the video I was able to disassemble the phone with no problems (it took about 15 minutes, I have all the tools and used a heating pad on the glue) and then replaced the battery. It would help if the video was updated to explain how the screen is reattached without the glue when the phone put back together - there are some discussions in the comments but I only saw those after I had put it all back together. The Pixel XL is a lot easier to work on then many other phones because it's mostly metal, not fragile glass and plastic.

What about the glue you removed at the beginning?....

@War diary What about that step where he pulls off all the adhesive with tweezers?

[@lildave151]

@@rykemapo I think what he's pulling off is the backing for new adhesive that he put on. I had to re-watch that part a couple times myself. On their website it says that the replacement battery comes with "FREE PRY TOOL AND ADHESIVE."

[@MrThatnovaguy]

Do you need to apply more adhesive to the back of the screen before reapplying it?

[@Repairsuniverseusa]

You always want to apply adhesive to the frame before re-seating it back into the device.

[@Gorbisch]

no you dont

This is repair porn and misleading to the point of being a lie. I guarantee you that opening up a Pixel or an XL is vastly more difficult than this video portrays. You have a fairly decent chance of destroying the main screen by merely attempting a repair.

I tried taking my XL apart because my display was dead. Indeed the display was very fragile. I believe it was already broken, but the process of taking the display apart cracked the touch sensor AND the display at the same time - making it difficult to tell if the display was already broken or my surgery broke it. The main reason I ended up breaking the display even more was due to the fact that I was flexing the display in a significant way. The video shows absolutely zero bending of the display. If you use something soft like the playing card and you are careful to never bend the display, you may be able to pull it apart, but essentially - you would be cutting through the glue. The usual pulling things apart to get it off the glue will damage the display - it's extremely fragile. Remember, cut through the glue - you aren't ever going to reuse the glue that's on there for a phone like this.

[@p4kim]

Oh another thing, this video shows that you can use a flat exacto knife to pry open the mid frame - I suggest you put a thin layer of scotch tape on the side that is facing the outer metal frame - otherwise you will be putting small nicks on the metal frame and possibly taking out the paint if it's not silver version.

[@ilusnforc3]

Yep, broke my LCD. Wish I had read this comment before ordering the battery from iFixIt.

[@ClassickWORLD]

@@ilusnforc3 Same exact thing just happened to me

[@ilusnforc3]

@@ClassickWORLD I ended up getting a replacement display from seller bestcasesupplier on eBay, condition is listed as new but it was clearly a good condition used part and they offered me a partial refund: www.ebay.com/itm/LCD-Display-Touch-Screen-Digitizer-Assembly-Tool-for-Google-Pixel-XL-Pixel-2-XL/332878534063 iFixit also gave me a partial refund and their last reply to me was: Our guide writing team is actually just about to publish a whole new version of the Pixel XL battery replacement guide, which will be much more detailed, like the regular Pixel battery guide, which was just recently updated: www.ifixit.com/Guide/Google+Pixel+Battery+Replacement/89128

ITs a LIE. This whole process make it looks so easy and it was a total lie...

Finally a easy to do repair

Thanks for this video. I am now heading out to have my phone repair guy do it for me!

[@sergeyshakurov1962]

Great video, many thanks!!!

[@hoosahfudge]

Thanks

[@rhondapeck6941]

Wow, seriously? No way would I try this! Wish I would have known this before I bought it!!

[@Milleniumlance]

i think im just gonna get a battery case for another year

[@GuyFromJupiter]

Lance Martin I have one, so just be aware that if you are having speed issues like I seem to be, a battery case will not fix them. It's pretty annoying to me, never bad speed issues, but general responsiveness is just a little low compared to heat it used to be. I know I may be a little late with this info, but to anyone else reading beware.

[@ElAndresRodriguez]

You're slow lmao. All modern smartphones have a similar process.
