Introduction
This is a simple guide to replace your Google Pixel 7 Pro screen, in this guide the bad screen went blank after being dropped.
What you need
-
-
The main tools you need are Tweezers, a plastic and or metal spudger, a pick, and a metal and or plastic razor blade.
-
You will also need a Heater to heat up the adhesive on the screen whether it be like the one in the photo, a heat gun, or one of ifixits personal ones they sell.
-
-
-
Heat the device face down for about 3-5 minutes, if you’re using one similar to mine I have it set to 80, if you’re using a different way to heat your device please follow the instructions that came with it.
-
-
-
-
When the screen is finally open you’ll see the connecter with a plate over it, pry up the little metal square enough to insert your tweezer through the tiny hole, you will then be able to easily pull up and remove the metal bracket holding down the connector, use the Plastic spudger to disconnect the cable.
-
-
-
Now that the screen is off you’ll use the plastic or metal spudger to remove the old adhesive, after that you can apply the new adhesive.
-
-
-
Grab your new screen and connect it to the phone, you can now put the metal bracket back over it and bend the square part back down.
-
-
-
If using an OEM part or a part that comes with the fingerprint reader you'll have to calibrate/reprogram it and then restart the phone.
-
-
-
You did it! The repair is finished, you should now be able to turn on the phone and use it like normal.
-
You did it! Great Job!

I am wondering if this will reset the fingerprint reader as it is integral part of the screen.
Yes, if using an OEM part or a part that comes with the fingerprint reader you'll have to calibrate/reprogram it and then restart the phone. If you're using a third-party screen that doesn't have the fingerprint reader you're able to transfer it like iPhones but you have to be really careful with it just like them as well.
*I'll add this to the repair guide*
This reddit article should show you how to do it, even though its a pixel 6 pro its essentially the same steps.
Is water resistance preserved after this please?
As long as you replace the old adhesive with a new one you should fine, using the old one works but it won't be as good water resistance wise.
