Google Pixel 5 5G Disassembly Teardown Repair Video Review. Screen Gap? By PBKreviews

You're watching the Google Pixel 5 disassembly, so we got the phone brand new. Let's see if this one has that gap issue people are experiencing for the most part, it seems okay. Before we take the phone apart, we need to remove the sim tray now we're going to use a hairdryer or a heat gun to heat the front of the phone where the screen is, so we can loosen up the adhesive around the frame of the screen, and then we're going to use a plastic pry tool to pry the screen off from the mid-frame, all right so trying to pry the screen assembly from the mid-frame. Wasn't all that easy aside from the adhesive? There are some catches around the screen which you need to work around and try to pop them off once you're finally able to pry the screen off from the frame you're going to lift it up from the right to the left, and then you have a cable over here which is attached to the main board. You're going to have to disconnect first, we need to pop off this bracket, and then we'll go ahead and disconnect the cable. So here's a better look at your screen assembly.

You have one of those vibrating motors as an earpiece which basically sends vibrations on top of the glass and provides sound on the sides of the screen assembly. You can see these catches. Furthermore, you can see on the other side as well, so I'm pretty surprised that these start lifting for some people off the frame because it has a lot of adhesive as well as the catches that go around. So the only thing I can think of is when it heats up a little or the phone is in use. The adhesive becomes loose and pries off just a little, but I really don't think it's going to fall off or completely come off, because it's pretty difficult taking that apart myself, so maybe the type of adhesive they use doesn't work well with the screen plastic and the frame of the phone or when they're assembling the phone they didn't press down firmly, so the adhesive would adhere to the frame.

So, even if the screen is lifted a little, the seal isn't compromised. So you don't really have to worry about water and dust getting in because the adhesive around the flexes a little, and it's sticky, and it takes some time trying to pry it off back to the phone itself. We have a large strip of graphite film over here sitting on top of the battery, as well as the cameras over here and little portion over here on top of this metal plate, we'll go ahead and peel off this graphite film. There are nine t3 screws or torn screws which need to be removed once those nine screws are removed. You have two more over here by the charger port covered by this tape, which you need to peel off.

Once all 11 screws are removed. We can go ahead and lift this cover over here on the charger port, and then we're going to remove this metal plate. That's covering the motherboard on the back of this metal plate. We have the vibrator motor over here. We also have a thermal pad over here, which is on top of the processor, let's go ahead and disconnect the battery cable, and then we'll go ahead and disconnect the rest of the cables.

Once that's disconnected, are the two cables over here for the cameras lift and remove the cameras. Here's a better look at those two cameras. I have one more cable over here underneath this one go and disconnect that now at this point, we're going to apply some heat to the battery for the back side of the phone, so we can loosen up the adhesive underneath, and then we're going to pry the battery off. So here's a better look at your battery and here's the other side. Once the battery is removed, you can see there's more graphite film underneath to help transfer heat.

You have a fingerprint reader located over here and the same flex, cable that goes for that goes for your volume key and your power button over here and in order to remove those there's a bracket over here. You just slide this bracket off or remove it to gain access to the buttons now, in order to remove the main board, there are two t3 screws which need to be removed, one of them located over here in the top left corner and there's one on bottom right corner. Once those screws are removed, we can lift and remove the main board a better look at your main board. Your proximity sensor is located over here. On top your sim reader is located over here.

Here's your charger port, there's a red gasket around it. Your primary microphone is located over. Here is this gold square piece and here's the back side of the main board your front facing camera is located on top corner the connector you just have to just pop it off and remove it once the main board is removed. You can see there's more graphite film, underneath your loudspeaker is located over here on the bottom right-hand corner in order to pry that off just to lift and push away from the frame. Here's a better look at that! You have two 5g millimeter wave antennas.

You have one on this corner over here and the flex cable, for that is this, and you have one over here on top and the flex cable. Is this long one right here? You also have two more microphones which aren't the primary microphone located on top. You have one over here on top of the cameras, and you have one located over here on top of the frame over here and the flex cable over here with the four gold contacts is for your wireless charging pad, which is underneath the graphite film. Furthermore, you can see the shape of it all right now, I'm going to go ahead and put the phone back together. Once all your screws are back in place, apply new adhesive and reapply.

The screen go ahead and power on the phone, and you're done.
