Google Pixel 10a Screen Installation

Check your original screen for a black plastic perimeter. If it's not on the screen, it's still attached to the frame.

Use an opening pick to pry up and remove the black plastic perimeter from the frame.

Use a spudger and tweezers to scrape up and remove any screen adhesive from the perimeter of the frame.

Use some high‑concentration (>90%) isopropyl alcohol and a lint‑free cloth (or coffee filter) to remove any adhesive residue.

Lay the screen next to the phone so the screen connector can comfortably reach the socket.

Align the screen press connector over its socket and gently press down with your finger—first on one of the short sides, then on the other—until the connector clicks into place.

Lay the screen connector cover in place and slide it upwards slightly to latch the top edge.

Use a Torx Plus 3IP screwdriver to install the 1.9 mm‑long screen connector cover screw.

Flip the screen onto onto the frame.

Remove the plastic liner covering the screen.

Carefully power on the phone, making sure nothing touches the screen while it powers on.

Use Google’s Pixel Update and Software Repair tool to calibrate your fingerprint sensor.

Run a diagnostics test with the built-in Pixel Diagnostic tool to make sure the screen's working properly.

Once you've confirmed screen functionality, fully power off your phone before resuming reassembly.

Use your fingers and tweezers to remove all remaining liners from the screen.

Make sure no liners cover the front-facing camera area.

Carefully flip the screen over and lay it on the phone.

Firmly press around the screen perimeter to secure it.
