Google Pixel 10 Pro XL USB‑C Board Replacement

Unplug all cables and completely power down your phone.

Apply strips of packing tape to the cracked glass until it's completely covered—this will help keep the glass contained and allow the suction cup to stick.

Heat an iOpener and lay it on the bottom edge of the back glass for two minutes.

Apply a suction handle to the center of the back glass's bottom edge, as close to the edge as possible.

Pull up on the suction handle with strong, steady force until a gap forms between the back glass and frame.

Insert the tip of an opening pick into the gap.

The back glass is secured with adhesive around the perimeter of the frame. Use this picture as a reference while you separate the adhesive.

Before installing new adhesive, all the old adhesive and its residue must be completely removed from the frame.

Use the point of a spudger to remove all the old screen adhesive from the frame. Try to "roll" the adhesive onto itself so it balls up, making it easier to remove.

If you're having trouble removing smaller chunks, apply a single drop of high‑concentration (>90%) isopropyl alcohol and scrape them up with your spudger.

Wrap a microfiber or lint‑free cloth around a spudger.

Use the spudger and high‑concentration (>90%) isopropyl alcohol to clean up all the remaining adhesive residue from the frame, applying more drops of alcohol as necessary.

Let the alcohol dry completely before continuing.

If you're reinstalling your original back glass, repeat the procedures in the previous two steps on the back glass to clean it.

Hold the adhesive above the frame to find its orientation. Use the rear camera cutout in the liner to help visualize how it will lay in the frame.

Peel down the top half of the larger, clear liner to expose the adhesive—don't fully remove the liner yet.

With the larger, clear liner folded towards the bottom of the phone, lay the exposed top edge of the adhesive onto the frame.

Once the top edge is properly aligned, gently press down on the top corners to secure the adhesive.

Slowly lay the rest of the adhesive onto the frame, pressing it into place and peeling away the larger, clear liner as you go.

Use a spudger to press down firmly on the adhesive to secure it to the frame.

Slowly peel up and remove the large colored liner, gripping it from the cutout near the top edge.

Remove all liners from the underside of the back glass, paying special attention to the front camera cutouts and bottom edge.
