Step 1

How to Apply New Screen Adhesive in Your Google Pixel 8 Pro

Watch your step! Be super careful around those spring contacts lining the edges of your device during the next couple of steps. We don’t want any unplanned adventures here!

To ensure the new adhesive seals like a champ, make sure to get rid of all that old screen adhesive and any leftover goo.

If things get sticky, a few drops of strong (over 90%) isopropyl alcohol can do wonders to loosen up the adhesive. Just apply it and gently scrape away!

– Grab your trusty spudger and gently pry up that old screen adhesive. It’s like giving your device a fresh start, and we’re all about fresh starts, right?

Step 2

Stuck on something? Simply take a microfiber cloth, wrap it around your trusty spudger, and give that frame a gentle scrape! You’ve got this!

– After you’ve cleared away all that old adhesive, it’s time to tackle any stubborn residue! Just add a few drops of super-concentrated (over 90%) isopropyl alcohol onto the leftover bits on the frame and give it a gentle wipe with a microfiber or lint-free cloth. You’ll have that frame looking spick and span in no time!

Step 3

Got a new screen? No need to worry about this part, just move on to the next step!

– Give that screen a little TLC! Go ahead and clean off all that old adhesive and any sticky remnants around the edges. Make it nice and tidy for the new stuff to stick like it’s meant to!

Step 4

Before you get that new adhesive on, take a moment to check out how it’s going to fit on your phone. It’s a little sneak peek that can really help out!

– Grab that adhesive sheet and flip it so the clear liner is facing down. Now, gently place it over your phone and wiggle it around until everything lines up just right!

– Check out the blue liner—it’s got a big cutout for the cable on the left side of your phone and some handy cutouts along the bottom for those spring contacts. Easy peasy!

Step 5

– Time to peel back that big ol’ clear liner on the back of the sheet and get ready to stick some awesome adhesive!

Step 6

Take it easy during this step! Once that adhesive makes contact with the frame, it’s a one-way ticket—no turning back! If it doesn’t land just right, you’ll need to grab some fresh adhesive and start from scratch.

– Carefully lay the bottom edge of that adhesive on the frame. Let the frame’s lip be your guiding star as you position the sheet just right.

– Gently press down to secure those bottom corners, then take your time to smoothly lay the rest of the adhesive onto the frame.

Step 7

Those little spring contacts are super important, so be gentle! They’re like the party-starting crew of your phone, and we don’t want to hurt them. 😉

Make sure the adhesive is snugly attached to the frame before peeling off any liners. This little step helps keep everything in place and prevents any mischief during the next phase.

– Now, press down firmly and slide the flat end of a spudger around the entire perimeter of the frame. This will help secure the adhesive and make sure everything is nice and snug. You’ve got this!

Step 8

If the adhesive decides to play peek-a-boo with the liner, simply place it back on the frame and use the flat end of a spudger to give it a little love and secure it in place.

– Grab the handy pull tab at the top of your phone and gently lift it up to peel away that larger blue liner. You’re doing great!

Step 9

– Plug that screen cable connector back in like a pro!

– Now, give that screen cable cover a cozy home again.

Step 10

If any of the adhesive starts to lift off with the liner, simply place it back onto the frame and use the flat end of a spudger to press it down securely. Keep it cool and steady!

– Grab a little box or a stack of books to give that screen a cozy lift.

– Pull those two handy tabs on the upper right edge of your phone to slip off those last pesky blue liners.

Step 11

– Before you lock down that screen, double-check that the front-facing camera is cozily nestled in its little home.

– If you’ve swapped out your screen, take a peek at the front-facing camera hole and the sensor cutout on your new screen. Don’t forget to peel away any pesky liners that might be lingering around!

Step 12

– Give that screen a good, firm press into the frame! You’ll hear those clips do a happy little ‘pop’ as they lock into place.

– Now, go around the edges and press down firmly to make sure it’s all sealed up tight with the new adhesive.

Step 13

Let’s make that new screen adhesive extra strong! To ensure a snug fit all around the edges, you’ll want to consider the rear camera bump. Just find some trusty little objects to place on the rear cover to create even pressure.
