This repair guide was authored by the iFixit staff and hasn’t been endorsed by Google. Learn more about our repair guides here.
Use this guide to replace the screen on your Google Pixel 4.
Note: Follow this guide to replace a screen that's pre-installed in a new frame (a.k.a. chassis). You'll need to transplant all of your phone's internals to the new screen. If you're replacing the display panel by itself, follow this guide instead.
For your safety, discharge your battery below 25% before disassembling your phone. This reduces the risk of a dangerous thermal event if the battery is accidentally damaged during the repair.
This guide requires a replacement battery. Do not reuse the battery after it has been removed, as doing so is a potential safety hazard.
Caution: Google warns that disassembly of the front laser assembly could result in hazardous exposure to invisible infrared laser emissions. Read their safety warnings here.
O que você precisa
-
-
Insert a SIM eject tool, bit, or a straightened paper clip into the small hole on the SIM card tray on the left edge of the phone.
-
Press firmly to eject the tray.
-
Remove the SIM card tray.
-
-
-
Prepare an iOpener and apply it to the bottom edge of the back panel for one minute.
-
-
-
Apply a suction cup to the heated edge of the back panel by pressing down on it to create suction, as close to the edge as possible.
-
-
-
Pull up on the suction cup with strong, steady force to create a gap between the back panel and the frame.
-
Insert the point of an opening pick into the gap.
-
-
-
Slide the opening pick across the bottom towards the left corner to slice the adhesive.
-
With the pick still inserted, slide it from the bottom left corner over to the bottom right corner to completely slice the bottom side adhesive.
-
Leave the pick inserted in the bottom right corner to prevent the adhesive from re-sealing.
-
-
-
Prepare an iOpener and apply it on the left edge of the phone for one minute.
-
-
-
Prepare an iOpener and apply it on the right edge of the phone for one minute.
-
-
-
Slide the third opening pick around the top right corner and across the top side of the phone, slicing the final strip of adhesive.
-
-
-
Once you have sliced around the perimeter of the phone, carefully lift the right edge of the back cover, opening it like a book.
-
Do not try to pull the panel all the way off yet, as it is still connected to the phone.
-
-
-
Remove the five T3 Torx screws securing the battery connector shield:
-
Four 4.0 mm screws
-
One 2.1 mm screw
-
-
-
Use a T3 Torx driver to remove the two 4 mm screws securing the back panel connector cover.
-
-
-
-
Pull on the yellow pull tab of the adhesive strip with steady force.
-
Continue firmly pulling up on the adhesive strip with constant force. If you're using a spudger, spin it every so often to keep the exposed section of the pull tab as short as possible.
-
Continue this process for each of the three pull tabs, until all are either out or have snapped in half.
-
-
-
If the battery tabs snapped during removal, insert an opening pick on the upper right edge of the battery, slicing the adhesive underneath.
-
-
-
Lift the battery up and away from the phone to remove it. You may need to peel the battery away from any leftover adhesive tabs.
-
If you're using stretch release adhesive, apply them onto the battery. Otherwise, apply some double-sided tape, or pre-cut adhesive strips in the phone's battery well, being careful not to cover the charge port flex cable. Peel away any tape liners to expose the adhesive.
-
Temporarily re-connect the battery's connector to the motherboard socket. This ensures that the battery is properly positioned.
-
Lay the battery in place and press firmly.
-
Disconnect the battery connector from its motherboard socket and resume re-assembly.
-
-
-
Use a T3 Torx driver to remove the four 4 mm screws securing the camera connector cover.
-
-
-
Using the pointed end of a spudger, pry the camera and sensor connectors straight up from the motherboard.
-
-
-
Use a T3 Torx driver to remove the two 2.4 mm screws securing the front camera and sensor assembly.
-
-
-
Remove the two T3 Torx screws securing the vibration motor cover:
-
One 4.2 mm screw
-
One 4.4 mm shouldered screw
-
-
-
Use the pointed end of a spudger to disconnect the two rear-facing camera connectors from the motherboard.
-
Disconnect the side buttons connector from the motherboard.

Just a heads up. There are two rubber pads that might fall out. One is for the front facing camera frame. The other goes above a silver padded piece on the top left when looking from the back below the camera module. Look for tube videos if you can't find it. I found this out the hard way. :)
Fantastic directions. Great job.
I'm confused though. I see 3 scenarios:
1. Was this tutorial made specifically to replace the screen, and each step is required?
2. Is it recommended to use this order and stop at the component I want to replace?
3. Or can some components be replaced sooner and more directly in the process (using this guide for location and technique)?
