Google Pixel 9 Pro/Pro XL Rear Cover Detachment

ID: 175799

Description: This guide shows how to separate the adhesive...

Steps:

1. Let your Pixel's battery drain below 25% before starting this repair. A charged lithium‑ion battery may catch fire if damaged.
2. Unplug all cables and completely power down your phone.

3. Adhesive secures the perimeter of the rear cover to the frame.
4. When separating the adhesive, don't insert your tool more than 3 mm under the rear cover to avoid damaging the internal components.
5. Measure 3 mm from the tip and mark your opening pick with a permanent marker. Alternatively, you can tape a coin to a pick 3 mm from the tip.

6. Attach a suction handle to the bottom edge of the rear cover, as close to the edge as possible.

7. Pull up on the suction handle with strong, steady force to create a small gap under the rear cover.
8. Insert the tip of an opening pick in the gap.

9. Slide your opening pick along the bottom edge to separate the adhesive securing it.
10. Remember: don't insert the opening pick deeper than 3 mm.

11. Slide your opening pick up the left edge and along the top edge to separate the adhesive.

12. Slide your pick down the right edge to separate the remaining adhesive.
