Google Pixelbook Battery (Back Panel) Replacement
Duration: 45 minutes
Steps: 7 Steps
In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to remove the back panel of your Pixelbook so you can replace that tired old battery. But here’s the catch: the back panel is seriously stuck on there, clinging to the battery like it’s never letting go. Trying to pry them apart? It could get messy, so we strongly recommend getting a brand new back panel and battery pack instead of trying to separate them. Need a hand? No worries, you can always schedule a repair if you’re feeling stuck!
Step 1
