iFixit's online EU shop seems to be the only reliable place where I can get an official battery, plus the accessories to replace it.

However, they only ship to my country via UPS, and UPS is extremely incompetent to deliver it, so even after multiple attempts, the package never arrived and I got the money back, but no battery. And UPS confirmed that even if I tried again, it would not change a thing.

So, since it seems impossible to ask iFixit to send it via another company, how can I find another place selling original Pixel 7 batteries? Google themselves do not do it (at least not that I could find).

Note that iFixit's Amazon store sells some things, but not that battery, so I cannot use them as shipping company instead.

I've already tried the following things:

1. Resetting and reboot

2. Installation of new software

3. Upgrading to latest os and then downgrading to previous one

4. Going on beta android P

All these things didn't really help. If anyone knows how to solve this problem please let me know.

On the picture, I'm not sure that the little copper dot is the right track.

Suggestions?

I heated the phone, applied the suction cup and pulled until a gap appeared at the top, I inserted my opening pic and moved around the display, taking care to not insert the pic more than 3mm. This went very smoothly, until I attempted to fold the display open to the side, at which point I was surprised to see that I had successfully removed the glass, but the display itself remains firmly seated in the phone itself.

How do I now remove the display, preferably without causing further damage?

What else can I do?

Any tips?

I have no idea where I could even start looking for broken parts, TBH.

(Sure, there are services that can do this, but I would never pass up an opportunity to learn how to do this kind of thing myself...)

• If I put it on a wireless charger the wireless charger blinks enough for me to assume that the battery is attempting to negotiate with it
• If I use a known good 65w charger (UGREEN) and multiple high quality USB-C cables, I can get it to show a gray battery on screen with a lightning bolt in it, but after multiple hours it doesn't seem to produce a charge. The phone is slightly warm near the charging port. If I take it off the port it 'dies' (loses the little battery indicator) instantly
• If I try and put it into fastboot nothing happens, except that the battery indicator will sometimes go away, so maybe it's discharging faster than it's charging?
• If I hook it up to my Linux machine with dmesg running, it doesn't seem to be negotiating anything over USB :(

I like to think I'm generally pretty competent when it comes to working with electronic components. The only thing out of the ordinary with the battery swap was having to use 99% IPA to dissolve the battery adhesive, but I was conservative and it was completely dry before reassembly. I'm skeptical about the battery just being disconnected given the nature of the connector, but I'm open to cracking it back open if it comes to it. The bigger issue is that it leaves me phoneless for quite a while which is rough for 2FA.

Thanks

That's the background. Since everything else on the phone appeared to be working, I thought it worthwhile to attempt a screen replacement and ordered the kit. I very slowly, meticulously, and carefully followed the instructions. Unfortunately, upon removing the old screen, I noticed a small amount of what appears to be very minor corrosion on the logic board next to the screen pins (see pics), so I gently cleaned it as best I could with alcohol and a Q-tip, then brushed it gently with a nylon brush, waited for it to dry completely, then installed the new screen. Sadly, even the new screen is still entirely black and even the touch doesn't work, even after re-seating a couple times.

Is there anything I've missed or should try before requesting an RMA? I'd love to get it working, but I can't think of anything else to try and finding a logic board, aside from being far more difficult to replace, is difficult to find and would change the entire device ID anyway. In other words, all my data is lost, and there is no longer a point in trying to recover it at that point. Fortunately, I was able to backup my data in the brief moments when the damaged screen was working prior to the repair.
