Ich habe gerade sehr gute Erfahrungen mit einer schlichten "nackten" Wärmflasche mit fast kochendem Wasser gemacht. Handy mit dem Display drauf, ein Handtuch drüber, 1-2 Minuten warten, und los geht's. Es wird gleichmäßig erwärmt und keine Gefahr der Überhitzung.

-
Pull the blue handle backwards to unlock the Anti-Clamp's arms.
-
Place your phone screen side up on an object so it will rest level between the Anti-Clamp's arms—the bottom edge should be hanging off.
-
Slide the arms over the left edge of your phone, so you have access to the bottom edge.
-
Position the suction cups as close to the center of the bottom edge as possible.
-
Squeeze the cups together to create suction.
-
-
-
Pull the handle forward to lock the arms.
-
Turn the handle clockwise one full turn (360 degrees), or until the suction cups begin to stretch.
-
As the cups stretch, make sure they stay aligned with each other. If they keep slipping, remove the Anti-Clamp and apply tape for the cups to stick to.
-
-
-
Wait one minute for a gap to form between the screen and frame.
-
Insert an opening pick into the gap.
-
Pull the blue handle backwards to unlock the arms and remove the Anti-Clamp using the pull tabs on the suction cups.
-
Skip the next two steps.
-
-
-
Apply a suction handle to the center of the screen's bottom edge.
-
-
-
Pull up on the suction handle with strong, steady force until a gap forms between the screen and frame.
-
Insert an opening pick into the gap.

-
The screen cable is a little less than halfway up the left edge of the phone. Be very careful here to avoid tearing the cable.
-
There are many spring contacts around the perimeter of the phone. Be very careful in these areas to avoid bending the contacts.
I've had 2 devices from Google, both make a creaking snapping noise on the left side of the display above the sim. Clearly it's a design issue and wonder if it could be fixed.

Gently pry up and disconnect the cable.
-
Remove the screen.
-
-
-
When handling your screen, grip it by its edges.
-
When placing the screen on your work area, make sure nothing is touching the bottom of the screen. Consider placing it on a soft, lint-free cloth.
-
-
-
Use the pull tabs to remove the liners covering the front camera cutout, the rear camera pad, the back of the screen, and the perimeter adhesive.
-
Reconnect the screen cable and reinstall its cover.
-
This is a good point to test your phone before sealing it up. Temporarily power on your phone and make sure it works as expected. Power it down before continuing.
-
Firmly press the screen into place on the frame. You should feel the clips "pop" into place.
-
Press firmly around the perimeter of the screen to secure it with the new adhesive.

Follow this guide to calibrate the fingerprint sensor.
Please explicitly mention that if your replacement screen has the small blue tabs, that indicates it came with pre-installed adhesive. In retrospect and knowing what to look for it's obvious, but it wasn't at first.

Simple, but fiddly repair. Replacement screen seemed to come with a thin adhesive border already applied. I'm not sure if I was supposed to use the separate replacement adhesive, but the new screen seems to sit flush with both. Good guide, managed to finish the repair in under an hour. Thanks, ifixit.
you failed to mention anything regarding the fingerprint sensor, and the images of the genuine replacement screen appear to have it included, which is not the case on any other non-genuine replacement screens ive seen.
So to be clear, does the genuine screen replacement come with a new fingerprint sensor pre-installed, and if you were to buy a non-genuine replacement which requires you to install the original sensor from the original screen, how would one go about positioning the sensor on the screen and etc
Hi Ryley,
The genuine screen replacement does come with a new fingerprint sensor pre-installed. I'm not certain with non-genuine screens. I assume there will be a pretty precise cutout in the copper foil on the screen. You'd need to carefully attach the sensor with some double-sided tape.
Replacement screen was working well for me till I put the screen back on fully, now screen wont turn on. Checked connections as well, think I damaged the cable by putting to much pressure on it closing. Word on caution dont use force when reclosing phone
After fitting the replacement screen my proximity sensor is no longer working. Has anyone seen this issue before?
I ran into this too, and just fixed it -- for anyone else running into this issue proximity sensor and lux sensor not working -- in 'step 21' the little red box showing the black tab in the lower right -- you are meant to REMOVE the black adhesive/sticker with the barcodes and serials on it. The back side of the screen will be a solid copper color once done correctly, and there will be a little cut-out window just below the front camera to allow those sensors to see the world. I guess it's a good thing they gave me a screen with pre-applied adhesive, as well as another spare, because I had to pull the 4 day-old applied screen back off to remove the black sticker and have a fix!

3 things - First I had already installed the "extra" adhesive before I realized that there was pre-installed adhesive on the new screen. Yes, the instructions hint at this, but I still screwed up. Second, putting the screen cable back in place is by far the hardest part of this. It will take time to get it lined up and you have to be really patient. Finally, don't expose the adhesive until after the screen cable is in place. I let the screen fold back onto the phone by accident, and then it was a mess to get the screen back up without destroying the adhesive. I still have no confidence it's water resistant now. Oh well, it works!
всі власники пікселя 8 рекомендую відкрити екран і прибрати вусики заземлення що давлять на шлейф матриці,поки не пізно. в мене пізно,замовляю новий дисплей
Hat gut geklappt. Der alte Bildschirm ist zwar bei der Reparatur dann komplett zerbröselt aber der war ja sowieso schon kaputt, wenn man mit etwas mehr Fingerspritzengefühl dran geht als ich dann bleibt der vermutlich auch heile. Werkzeug tut was es soll, ich habe zusätzlich noch eine spitzere Pinzette genutzt für die Klebereste, das ist aber nicht unbedingt nötig.
Gab noch ein extra Klebestreifen was hilfreich ist wenn das erste mal kleben nicht klappt, war bei mir aber nicht nötig.
Guide doesn't mention what to do with the old adhesive. I cleaned it out best I could because it seems like a good idea, but later saw I was supposed to use alcohol in another guide. Would be nice if the guide is explicit in what to do, without the need to jump or reference other guides that are easy to miss.
Hello All,
I've just received my Pixel 8 replacement screen. I followed the videos and instructions and completed the replacement. But now my new screen is showing this blue pixelated screen.
Any ideas or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
iFixit, please mention that the Pixel 8 replacement screens you sell come with replacement adhesive which is exposed by removing the small blue tabs, I also didn't find out until installing the (extra) adhesive included in the repair kit. Looks like my phone will be doubly-adhered like some others' here.
For those considering just buying a new phone, here is my experience. TLDR: it worked 100%: remember to remove the camera cover.
Received the kit about an hour ago. Set it up on the kitchen table with the hot pad (hot water boil in absence of a microwave), hairdryer, a tablet with the how-to video and the kit. Do you need the kit? Probably could get away with some flat plastic bits, some common mini-tools and the hairdryer but why bother saving 10 euros.
Took c.15 mins to get the screen off. Not hard, be patient and it comes. The connector removal after that was painless but as others said, 2 things are important. 1. Get the camera cover off (there is a tiny small lip of plastic at the top which can be pulled) and 2. Care getting the screen clipped back in. I agree with video, start one end, I used the reverse end of the spudger. Once back in, it just worked. 20 mins total. Fingerprint to be done.
Main advice: do it at a clean large table, good light and probably in kitchen since you have to reheat the pad.
