Display RemovalCreate source
When it comes to removing the display, for the Pixel 5, first before obtaining any neccessary tools or parts, when taking the screen off of the phone, it is very likely to break your display, so you might want to have a replacement display on hand if you are going to attempt this repair.

The procedure is similar to most phones of this generation, but I'll focus on any individual things to focus on with this phone in particular.


 * 1) Apply heat to the display near the bottom edge to loosen the adhesive. Keep an eye on the temperature as excessive heat can damage the display and the battery.
 * 2) Use suction to pry the screen up close to the bottom edge until you can create a gap wide enough to insert a pick between the body and the display.
 * 3) Break the adhesive by sliding the pick across the bottom edge, then leave it at the corner edge to keep the gap open.
 * 4) Apply heat at the left edge if the phone until you can slide another pick to the bottom left corner.
 * 5) Continue to slide the pick across the left edge until you reach the top left corner. (Be careful how far you slide the pick in. Past 6mm you risk damaging the screen's flex cable in the middle of the edge).
 * 6) Apply some more heat top the top edge and insert another pick into the top left corner.
 * 7) Continue slicing the top edge and leave at the top right corner
 * 8) If necessary, apply heat to the right edge and insert a pick to the bottom right corner where the first pick was left.
 * 9) Slice up the right side of the display.
 * 10) Check the corners and edges and go over it again with a pick if necessary to make sure the adhesive is fully detached.
 * 11) Now, when opening the display, make sure to open it on the right side and open it carefully, making sure not to bend the flex cable on the left side and once the display is open you can put a plastic tool on the right edge to keep it propped up.
 * 12) Once opened, disconnect the flex cable with tweezers. There is a clip that you need to unlatch in order to disconnect the connector.
 * 13) Now simply remove the display

Battery Removal
When it comes to repairing the battery, for the Pixel 5, first before obtaining any necessary tools or parts, when taking the screen off of the phone, it is very likely to break your display, so you might want to have a replacement display on hand if you are going to attempt this repair.


 * 1) See Display Removal
 * 2) Now that you have the display off of the phone, use a plastic tool to scrape off any remaining adhesive.
 * 3) Remove the graphite tape keeping the battery in place carefully with tweezers.
 * 4) Repeat for the graphite tape over the charging plate cover
 * 5) Unscrew the two screws under that charging plate tape with a T3 TORX and remove the cover.
 * 6) Then repeat with all the screws holding the midframe, all should be visible on the top and left side
 * 7) Remove the midframe, there should be a little metal spacer by the cameras, easy to lose.
 * 8) Now use a plastic tool to pry the flex cable connecting the battery to the main board.
 * 9) On the top right and bottom left sides of the phone there should be pull tabs to remove the adhesive, pull them out slowly to remove the adhesive.
 * 10) If any glue remains, apply rubbing alcohol to the underside of the battery to loosen the adhesive.
 * 11) Use caution when lifting the battery (There are two flex cables underneath: the earpiece contact pins  near the top left corner)
