at this point i'll also unplug the display's connection coming back to the heat plate we can repeat the same process we did for the back to the display of the phone it's important to prevent any loose connections from damaging anything on the board while working on removing the display in my case i taped the battery connector back and left the display cable hanging out the side while hitting the display will soften the adhesive it doesn't fix google's method of adhering the screen there is really no practical way of removing it in one piece the screen is heavily glued in the center so when you lift up on it it gives way at the weakest point which is the internal layers of the screen i've removed about five google pixel screens and they've all came up this way however in some of the pixel a models i've repaired not only was the screen the first thing to come out but it was only glued around the edges proving this method here is total overkill with the screen removed we can see all of the damage it's clear to say this screen is not going to turn on again before throwing out the old display i'll first need to harvest the earpiece mesh this will later be installed in the new display speaking of displays it's time to unpack our new one ifixit is sent across one of their fixed kits for the pixel NUMBER_TOKEN. this kit includes everything needed for the repair including ifixit's own tools based on previous fixes i found the eye opener tool to be of no use as it just doesn't get hot enough however the remaining tools are loads better than those included with most replacement parts taking the screen out we now have everything needed to fix the phone
