Follow this guide to remove and replace a damaged USB-C port for the Pixel 3a. The USB-C port is completely modular and simple to replace.
The Pixel 3a’s unreinforced display panel is fragile. If you are reusing the screen, be sure to pay special attention to the warnings in the opening procedure.
The trickiest part of the procedure is re-attaching the proximity sensor connector, which requires some patience and finesse.

Take note of the two seams on the phone:
-
Screen seam: This seam separates the screen from the rest of the phone. This is where you should pry.
-
Frame seam: This is where the plastic frame meets the back cover. It is held in place by screws. Do not pry at this seam.
-
Before you begin prying, note the following areas on the screen:
-
Screen flex cable: Do not pry deeper than instructed, or you risk damaging this cable.
-
Adhesive perimeter: Prying beyond the narrow perimeter without angling the pick will damage the display panel.
-
-
-
Slice through the left edge of the phone, making sure to properly angle the pick below the OLED panel and insert it in no more than 1/4" (6 mm).
-
To angle the pick below the OLED panel, insert the point of the pick no more than 1 mm in, angle the pick upwards, and then slowly push the pick in 1/4".

Remove the fourteen T3 screws of the following lengths securing the plastic midframe:
-
Twelve 4.3 mm silver T3 screws
-
Two 4.3 mm black T3 screws
-
-
-
Align the top edge of the plastic midframe with the phone.
-
Use the point of a spudger to carefully align and push the proximity sensor connector onto the motherboard socket.
-
This takes a bit of patience and finesse. Once you have the connector in place, you can also use a finger to gently press the connector onto the socket.
-
Use the point of a spudger to carefully pry the proximity sensor out of its recess on the midframe. The sensor is lightly adhered to the midframe.
-
Remove the sensor from the midframe. Attach the sensor connector onto its motherboard socket.
-
Thread the sensor cable through the midframe and reposition the sensor in the recess. Press down with your finger to adhere the sensor back onto the midframe.
-
-
-
Use the point of a spudger to pry up and disconnect the battery connector from its motherboard socket.
-
Bend the battery flex cable slightly so that it will not accidentally make contact with the socket.

There was moister in the tip of my USB C cable when I plugged it into my phone to charge. A warning popped up on my screen to unplug. I did right away and the cord smoked…. My charging port is charged… the rest of the phone seems to work fine. The case did not feel hot afterward. Do you think my battery might be damaged too?
Hi Desmond,
It sounds like moisture may have shorted some contacts at the USB port. That normally shouldn’t damage the battery. It’s possible the charging circuitry may be damaged.
Where is the part for this? I can't find the USB C port for the 3a!
Just did this. A few notes:
* There’s a lot, like a lot, of adhesive up by the front camera. Lacking an iOpener, I used a washcloth soaked in hot water and sealed in a plastic bag to soften the adhesive.
* My ifixit kit is old and didn’t have a pick, but I used the knife to shave down the corner of an old gift card so it was thinner, and that worked fine. I found it easiest to get the screen off by placing several old gift cards under the edges to keep them from sticking down as I pried at other areas.
* I got my replacement port from an eBay listing entitled “Charging Port Flex Cable for Google Pixel 3a G020A G020E G020B 5.6” and it works fine.
* I forgot to buy extra tape for sticking the screen back on, so to keep it from falling off while the tape is in the mail, I’ve applied clear cellophane tape around the outside edges of the screen and back where there are no ports or buttons. It works ok.
* I found that the T4 bit worked better than the T3 for all of the screws involved in this process.
Fantastic guide. Really helpful. Yes, tons of adhesive up front and on the bottom. Dealing with adhesive (clearing it out while opening the case, completely removing it while the case is open, and re-applying tesa tape before finishing) is by far the most time consuming part of this process. Overall, it took me 1.5 hrs from start to finish.
