Google Pixelbook Display Replacement
Duration: 45 minutes
Steps: 14 Steps
The display on the Google Pixelbook is glued in pretty tightly with strong adhesive, so a bit of patience is key. Gently prying it away from the case might require some extra effort. To make things easier, try warming things up a bit with a hairdryer or an iOpener—this can soften the adhesive and help you get it loose without a fuss. If you need help, you can always schedule a repair.
Step 1
– Grab your trusty opening tools or a metal spudger and gently pry off the rubber covers from the back of your Pixelbook.
– Peel away the linings completely until the back panel is bare and ready for the next step.
