Substituição da tela do Google Pixel 4a

O que você precisa

    • Você precisará erguer a tela para removê-la do telefone. Leia atentamente as observações a seguir antes de prosseguir.

    • Observe as duas costuras na borda do telefone:

    • Emenda da tela: esta emenda separa a tela do resto do fone. É aqui que você deve fazer alavanca.

    • Emenda da moldura: é aqui que a moldura de plástico e a tampa traseira se tocam. Ela é fixada por meio de parafusos. Não faça alavanca nesta emenda.

    • Antes de começar, observe as seguintes áreas da tela:

    • Cabo conector flex da tela: não insira a palheta de abertura a uma profundidade maior do que a instruída ou você corre o risco de danificar esse cabo.

    • Observe o cabo plano laranja sob o canto inferior direito da tela, que pode ser danificado se a palheta de abertura for pressionada contra ele. Insira a palheta de abertura apenas o mínimo necessário para separar o adesivo da tela.

    • Limite do adesivo: fazer alavanca além deste limite estrito sem inclinar a palheta causará danos ao painel OLED.

    Coll down guys and gals.

    1) go below the Display and not between the backcover/middle (see the other comments)

    2) just take care about the flex/display cable position (which is iirc about on the middle i.e. 2nd 3rd from the bottom ON THE LEFT side dear OP)

    Everything else is just separting the glued on Display from the Phone.

    I've measured it: The cable starts arround 1.4-1.6 cm from the lower half from the bottom on the left side.

    So You can cut the bottom left corner and of course the upper left one but for safety's sake, watch out for the camera.

    You can go up to 5cm down from the upper left side till You're near the cable.

    Aleksandar Dejanovic - Responder

    When you say left side, is this your left when the phone screen is facing you?

  2. Substituição da tela do Google Pixel 4a, Aquecer a borda direita da tela: passo 2, imagem 1 %32
    • Aplique uma bolsa térmica iOpener aquecida na borda direita do visor por um minuto para amolecer o adesivo.

    • Um secador de cabelo, uma pistola de ar quente ou uma chapa quente também podem ser usados, mas tome cuidado para não superaquecer o telefone - a tela e a bateria interna são sujeitas a danos por calor excessivo.

    • Se a tela estiver severamente rachada, cobri-la com uma camada de fita adesiva transparente pode conferir maior aderência à ventosa de sucção. Como alternativa, pode-se usar uma fita adesiva muito forte em vez da ventosa. Se tudo mais falhar, você pode colar a ventosa na tela quebrada com supercola.

    • Coloque uma ventosa de sucção o mais próximo possível da borda direita da tela.

    • Levante a ventosa com força e firmeza.

    • Insira a ponta de uma palheta de abertura na emenda da tela sem exceder 1 mm.

    It's pretty easy. Insert it just below the screen between the Display and the Display “holder” or mold.

    • Esta etapa mostra como inserir a palheta sem danificar o painel OLED. Faça isso antes de começar a cortar o adesivo.

    • Com a palheta inserida 1 mm no vão, vire a palheta para cima, para deixá-la em um ângulo menor em relação ao fone.

    • Perfazendo um ângulo obtuso em relação ao fone, empurre cuidadosamente a palheta no vão por uns 6 mm ou 1/4 de polegada. A palheta deve deslizar para dentro abaixo do painel OLED.

    • Pare se sentir que a ponta da palheta está batendo em uma elevação. A palheta pode estar empurrando contra a borda do painel OLED. Incline a palheta e tente novamente.

    This took me a while, I ended up sharpening the tip of the pick with a razor so I could push it through the seam and slicing a few times, heat->sharpen-> slice until I finally got it to move, and once it slid under carefully heated up areas and sliced with ~2mm of the pick.

    Alan Carlson - Responder

    This sounds also harder than it is. Push it in 1mm and just lift the other end in a wider angle like 70° degree from the horinzontal position. There “shouldn't” be much you can do wrong. Because except for the Data cable (flex) at a certain position, I can't remeber anything important but isolating tapes that I have scratched.

    It's just the Screen glued to the mold. That's it.

    Aleksandar Dejanovic - Responder

    Oh, and I wonder here where do You all get such thins plectrums? I have also the flat plastic version and the thin plastic cards but none of them were thin enough for this!!

    I ended up using the backside i.e. the dull side of a Razorblade. I didn't saw any alternatives to this. Did You hear this OP?

    Any!!

    • O adesivo da tela é muito fraco e será desnecessário reaplicar calor. Mas se a cola da tela estiver apresentando resistência, aplique calor na área difícil por um minuto e tente novamente.

    • Insira outra palheta de abertura inclinada onde já tenha se formado um vão na borda direita do telefone, para evitar danos ao painel OLED.

    • Deslize a palheta de abertura ao redor da parte inferior do telefone para cortar o adesivo.

    • Há um cabo sensível sob o canto inferior direito da tela. Se você sentir que a palheta de abertura está presa em alguma coisa, retire-a e tente novamente. Certifique-se de que a palheta esteja inclinada para baixo e inserida apenas o necessário para separar o adesivo (não mais do que 3 mm de profundidade).

    • Deixe a palheta inserida na borda inferior para evitar que o adesivo volte a selar.

    Top and bottom edge adhesive were much stronger than this suggests. Corners were very hard to detach. I killed my screen b/c I cracked it at the top. Worked better with heating around whole perimeter like an iPhone.

    Erik Sorensen - Responder

    WARNING: Be very careful prying the bottom left and right corners! In fact do not insert anything there because there is only a 0.8mm clearance between the screen and the edge, and there's a 0.5mm space between the screen and front glass where if you insert a pick between the screen will crack and break! I had to replace the screen after only doing a battery repair...

    bloc - Responder

    Unfortunately I did not properly read the comments here. So for the unafraid people like me:

    DO NOT insert something into the bottom right! Especially not like it is shown in the image at this location!

    Instead I suggest start releasing the screen from right, then left side, then top and as the last step release the bottom, but start with the left corner. Do not pry too much and use a bit more heat as suggested.

    There is a small image of this critical right corner in Step 16 (the part at the top is the display and the left corner at the top is the critical right corner here). You'll see the orange cable in the corner which is easy to damage...

    • Com uma pinça, retire cuidadosamente a fita preta que cobre o suporte do conector da tela.

    • Se estiver em bom estado, você poderá reutilizar essa fita durante a remontagem. Caso contrário, substitua-a por um pedaço de fita isolante.

    How critical is the tape that covers this connector? I realized upon sealing back up my device that I forgot to re-install it. I imagine it mostly is there to prevent dust and moisture ingress?

    Alex Cook - Responder

    Interestingly this tape was missing in my phone. Maybe that explains some of the display issues I occasionally had, like a thin green line on the right side of the screen which could be "pushed" away.

  15. Substituição da tela do Google Pixel 4a, Remover a tela: passo 15, imagem 1 %32
    • Remova a tela.

    • Compare a tela de reposição com a original. Pode ser que você precise transferir componentes adicionais (como a grelha do alto-falante) para a peça nova.

    • Para instalar a tela nova:

    • Raspe o adesivo restante do contorno da moldura.

    • Siga este guia se você estiver usando adesivos customizados.

    • Se você estiver usando uma fita dupla face como a fita da Tesa, siga este guia.

    • Se você for usar álcool isopropílico para limpar o adesivo da tela, certifique-se de não deixar que ele respingue acidentalmente em nenhum componente, pois isso pode enfraquecer a união adesiva.

    • Durante o processo de inicialização após a remontagem, a tela passará por uma sequência de calibração. Não toque na tela durante esse processo, pois isso pode resultar em calibração incorreta da tela sensível ao toque e criar problemas no recurso de toque.

    This step seems to imply that a screen replacement is necessary when replacing the charging port. Is the charging port replaceable without replacing the screen? I understand great care must be taken not to damage the original screen in the procedure, but can it be reinstalled?

    David-Alexandre Tremblay - Responder

    Yes, it can be reinstalled.

    Sam Omiotek -

    How long does the calibration process typically take? What does this process look like?

    phelpsbc - Responder

    Just a heads up: If you are like me and you have accidentally turned on your Pixel 4a at some point while trying to pry the screen, don't worry too much. I was able to just connect my display with the device on. Nothing will happen until you reboot, and then the screen will initialize.

    Alex Cook - Responder

    It would help to add that the new screen is reattached after adding glue to phone body, not the screen. With the iFixit screen adhesive pieces, a guide to which piece goes where would help also. For that I used this picture: Google Pixel 4a Display Adhesive - Genuine. Yet that is not enough as there is a cover for (speaker?) which is not clear how to apply that.

    markjville - Responder

    The repair kit comes with Google Pixel 4a Display Adhesive - Genuine but there is no guide on how to apply that adhesive. I sent an email, but Ifixit won't make an instruction page for this.

    Mark - Responder

    To explain how the adhesive sold by iFixit works, the actual adhesive is the black strip which is held between two pieces of plastic. Line up the pieces with the clear plastic side down. Note that some pieces may be stuck in the box they came in, the plastic is staticky. I recommend that before attaching the new screen you put each piece in place. Remove the clear plastic and place the pieces in place with the colored plastic facing up. The goal is to have the black adhesive strip on the little ledge between the edge and the depression inside the phone. It's the place where you hopefully spent time cleaning out the original adhesive. Place the corners first, then the edges. Press them into place carefully. Before removing the colored plastic attach the phone screen cable and secure it. REMEMBER TO PLACE THE ELECTRICAL TAPE OVER THE CONNECTOR (I forgot to). Then remove the colored plastic, leaving behind the adhesive, and push the screen into place.

    Karzyn - Responder

    Of note: the seal peace at the top goes under the speaker screen, and the seal looks at first like it is reversed. To install that one accurately adhere it to the Screen itself not the body of the phone. align it where there is a see through circle along the seam and a hole in the adhesive. the sealant should run below the speaker screen. When readhering the screen to the body, remove the plastic guides around the body, then last the seal on the screen and align and install.

    Super, c'est vraiment à la portée de tout le monde, il faut juste un peu de patience et d'audace.

    Je viens de réussir le remplacement de mon écran et c'est impec !

    Il n'y a que sur la première partie, où il faut insérer le médiateur, que ça a été compliqué pour moi. Impossible de l'insérer du côté des boutons (à droite donc), par contre quand je me suis décidée à tester en passant par l'autre côté, c'est venu tout seul.

    Aussi il m'a fallu un certain temps pour comprendre que sur les adhésifs, seul le trait noir colle, et c'est donc à lui qu'il faut faire attention.

    Pensez à vérifier que l'écran est fonctionnel avant de le recoller, à mon premier essai la nappe n'était pas bien insérée et j'ai du recommencer l'insertion. Voila, prendre son temps et vérifier que tout va bien à chaque étape et c'est très facile. J'ai mis un peu moins d'une heure.

    Caroline Leleu - Responder

    I have no idea what to do with the speaker cover mesh. It is on the display I ordered from fix it, but there is blue plastic tape over it, too, so in order for a speaker to work I'd expect the blue sticky tape needs to be removed, but it nowhere says anything about it.

    deadrom - Responder

    After I clipped the screen in place, I realized that I had forgotten to reattach the screen bracket from step 14. Do you think this is dangerous? Can anyone assess this? In any case, the smartphone turns on and actually makes a good impression.

    Many thanks in advance for your assessment!

    Kind regards

    Tom

    Timon Roosen - Responder

    Just some advice before you install the screen regarding the earphone grille/mesh at the top.

    Something I experienced, was that the speaker grille did not end up being seated quite right when the phone display was stuck down. It is slightly bent, and the top edge is stuck out at a slight angle - it is quite sharp and does not take much to catch a finger on it, when the phone is out of a protective case.

    I think this was because I laid the screen in, starting from the top and with it up at quite a steep angle, then working from top to bottom. I would suggest that when setting the new display within the device, that you align the bottom edge first instead.

    I am not going to risk lifting the new display to try and re-seat this grille properly, the display cost me a bloody fortune (around 58% of the phone's original price) and I am not risking breaking it over something as minor as that.

    nb. I definitely removed all the coloured plastic protective pieces before installing the new screen into the phone.

@samomio Where do we install the double-sided tape for the replacement? Any areas we should not cover? I tried UV glue, but it is not holding the display securely.

Paul - Responder

Install the double-sided tape in the space between the outside edge of the glass and the OLED screen, all the way around.

Sam Omiotek -

Question- why does every phone repair shop automatically replace both the glass layer and the lcd layer even if the glass is the only thing that is broken?

T_Thyme - Responder

Good question—because OLED screens are destroyed by the oxygen in the air once their screens are cracked or separated.

Sam Omiotek -

Hey, nice guide!! Do you know if the Pixel 4a and 4a 5G are interchangeable between them? Thanks!!

Eli Pinheiro - Responder

Thank you! The 4a and 4a 5G screens are not interchangeable. The 5G is larger.

Sam Omiotek -

Excellent guide.

I bought this screen from eBay: https://www.ebay.de/itm/402564264411

Already had tools in an iFixit kit.

Also bought some 1mm Tesa Tape from iFixit to glue the screen back on.

Matt Smith - Responder

Got a replacement screen off Amazon, had a major scare tho, I tested it before going deep into the repair process, worked fine, removed all the adhesive, reattached the replacement screen it it was all black. Like dead. Phone was still vibrating, I made sure nothing was covering the proximity sensors or anything, still dead screen. I take a break, come back, dis-attach and reattach and the screen several times and its working again. Weird, but now very scared I delicately put it all back together. Make sure you transfer over the speaker grill on top, it doesn’t come with most replacement screens.

CAN SOMEONE TELL ME IF IT IS IMPORTANT TO BUY THE CORRECT SCREEN VERSION NUMBER? AS PIXEL 4A 4G G025 /G025N /GA02099.

Because sellers don't specify it, is it really relevant? They just sell as Pixel 4A 4G compatible.

Thanks overall!

Chris Lawson - Responder

Be aware that removing a shattered screen will be tedious and you must be patient and careful to remove all of the bits from the glue channel between the screen and the phone body. Removing the old glue is a VERY tedious and time consuming process so be prepared to take considerably longer than the 30-60 minutes shown in the directions. Also be aware that having a magnifiying headset with lights should be a high priority purchase along with this kit. Re-attaching the screen-to-phone connector is also incredibly tedious and frustrating. It took more than 8 hours of work to get ours replaced. At first it all worked fine and 10 minutes later the screen failed. Be prepared to either be delighted that your efforts bring a phone back to life or that it will end in utter failure and frustration... it is NOT as easy as you think. The YouTube videos are all missing this information and make it all look easy...... not so.

D. J. - Responder

If you get the kit that includes the adhesive strips, save yourself the risk and irritation and just get some B-7000 or whatever you see someone using in a YouTube tutorial. They seem to work, but it doesn't seem like they're actually cut for specifically this phone, or in my case none of the shapes really came close to aligning with any cutouts or holes. They only give you exactly what you need, so if you accidentally fail to line it up exactly right, you're stuck trying to maneuver this string of very sticky goop into a precise line or corner.

Otherwise, the tools are exactly what you need in a food way, very little waste and decent packaging. Great value overall, the screen is legit, although now my proximity sensor isn't working for some reason. They're pretty good quality, I'll keep it all around, but will be ordering some better adhesive and maybe redoing it. It really is not fun working with those, and I'd appreciate more for my money in that respect.

Also the picks aren't thin enough, risky using them.

L. T - Responder

I have problems with my proximity sensor, too. I'll open the phone again to see if it gets fixed.

carlitossuper1 -

That was really useful. Thanks for the info and clear steps. I did end up having to push the middle of the connector when reattaching the screen.

After advice please - have been using my 4a with cracked screen for a while, but after dropping it last week the screen had a green intermittent flash across it, and nothing else. Pressing the power button to switch off seemed to have no effect. Can anyone please advise whether they think a new screen will resurrect it, or does it sound as though I have broken something else too? Thanks!

Rachel - Responder

After having followed this guide and successfully replaced my screen, I have to say that it stops rather abruptly. It is very detailed, but then it says "apply the strips by following a generic give and put it together again" which is the most tedious part and should be documented. There should be a guide for where which adhesive part belongs, as some have differences just in millimeter scale. Eventually, I noticed that the product page for the adhesive has a picture showing the pieces aligned correctly. Contrary to what is shown in the linked generic adhesive guide, those are supposed to be applied to the device housing, not the screen.

Also, you should NOT apply the top adhesive, as one comes pre-applied to the screen.
There was also an Earpiece Speaker Mesh pre-applied to my new screen, in addition to the one that comes extra, so don't apply the other one on top! In my case, the Mesh was pre-applied inside-out, which I realized just a second before pressing the screen onto the adhesive for good.

When it comes to making sure the mesh is aligned correctly, special attention is required. The slightly shorter side of the mesh is supposed to be the bottom side, which means the picture on the product page currently shows it upside-down.

Those are my main gripes with this guide and I think their omission sets newbies up for failure and frustration, which I would assume is the opposite of what ifixit wants when promoting self-repare and should not exist for an “official” self-repare done together with google.

Small additions:
Step 14 tells you to re-attach the connector by clicking in one side first, then the other. I am pretty sure that it means to say and should be pressing down coming from the top edge, then the bottom (or the other way around), but not the sides as in left and right, which is exactly what would make it misaligned.
Also, I would emphasize that if the plastic is not smooth after the removed old adhesive, it is almost certainly hard dried glue. Scrub with the cleaning alcohol pad here.

Adhesive kit has a long blue side and a long red side. I guess the red side goes right, seen from top, as the image and the mentioning of the red strip in the disassembly suggestest, but am I sure? heck no.

Après avoir cassé mon écran, et face aux coûts annoncés par les réparateurs professionnels, je me suis lancé dans la réparation seule. De façon assez surprenante, c'était relativement facile excepté l'installation de l'adhésif qui demande beaucoup de minutie. Je conseille l'achat d'un pack d'adhésif supplémentaire pour être plus serein.

Pour l'instant tout a l'air de très bien marcher, je recommande grandement.
