  1. Google Pixel 5 Battery Replacement, Heat the bottom edge of the screen: passo 1, immagine 1 di 1
    • Heat an iOpener and apply it to the bottom edge of the screen for one minute.

    • A hair dryer, heat gun, or hot plate may also be used, but be careful not to overheat the phone—the display and internal battery are both susceptible to heat damage.

    • While you're waiting for the adhesive to loosen, take note of the following:

    • Screen seam: This seam separates the screen from the rest of the phone. Do not pry at this seam.

    • Bezel seam: This is where the plastic bezel designed to protect the screen meets the frame. It's held in place by plastic clips. This is where you should pry.

    • The next two steps demonstrate the Anti-Clamp, a tool we designed to make the opening procedure easier. If you aren't using the Anti-Clamp, skip down two steps for an alternate method.

    • For complete instructions on how to use the Anti-Clamp, check out this guide.

    • Pull the blue handle towards the hinge to disengage opening mode.

    • Position the suction cups near the bottom edge of the screen—one on the front, and one on the back.

    • Push down on the cups to apply suction to the desired area.

    • If you find that the surface of your device is too slippery for the Anti-Clamp to hold onto, you can use packing tape to create a grippier surface.

  4. Google Pixel 5 Battery Replacement: passo 4, immagine 1 di 3 Google Pixel 5 Battery Replacement: passo 4, immagine 2 di 3 Google Pixel 5 Battery Replacement: passo 4, immagine 3 di 3
    • Push the blue handle away from the hinge to engage opening mode.

    • Turn the handle clockwise until you see the cups start to stretch.

    • Make sure the suction cups remain aligned to each other. If they begin to slip out of alignment, loosen the suction cups slightly and realign the arms.

    • Wait one minute to give the adhesive a chance to release and present an opening gap.

    • Insert an opening pick under the screen and its bezel frame when the Anti-Clamp creates a large enough gap.

    • If the Anti-Clamp doesn't create a sufficient gap, apply more heat to the area and rotate the handle clockwise half a turn.

    • Don't crank more than a half a turn at a time, and wait one minute between turns. Let the Anti-Clamp and time do the work for you.

    • Skip the next step.

    • Apply a suction cup to the screen, as close to the heated edge as possible.

    • If your screen is badly cracked, follow this guide to tape over the cracked screen. If all else fails, you can superglue the suction cup to the broken screen.

    • Pull up on the suction cup with strong, steady force to create a gap.

    • Depending on the age of your device, this may be difficult. If you have trouble, apply more heat and try again.

    • Insert the opening pick into the gap.

    • Insert an opening pick into the bottom right corner of the screen.

    • Slide the pick up to the top right corner to slice the last edge of adhesive.

    • You may need to run an opening pick around the edges again to ensure all the adhesive is cut. It is applied the thickest on the four corners.

  11. Google Pixel 5 Battery Replacement, Open up the screen: passo 11, immagine 1 di 2 Google Pixel 5 Battery Replacement, Open up the screen: passo 11, immagine 2 di 2
    • Use the opening pick from the top left corner to lift up the left edge of the screen a few millimeters. This will keep the clips from snapping back down into the case.

    • Lift up on the right side of the screen and open up the phone like a book.

    • Do not open the screen more than 90 degrees to prevent damaging the screen flex cable.

  12. Google Pixel 5 Battery Replacement, Disconnect the screen: passo 12, immagine 1 di 2 Google Pixel 5 Battery Replacement, Disconnect the screen: passo 12, immagine 2 di 2
    • Use tweezers to grip the screen connector cover securing the screen flex cable.

    • To re-attach press connectors like this one, carefully align and press down on one side until it clicks into place, then repeat on the other side. Do not press down on the middle. If the connector is misaligned, the pins can bend, causing permanent damage

  15. Google Pixel 5 Battery Replacement, Remove the screen: passo 15, immagine 1 di 2 Google Pixel 5 Battery Replacement, Remove the screen: passo 15, immagine 2 di 2
    • Remove the screen.

    • Use tweezers to pick off the remaining adhesive on the case.

    • If you use isopropyl alcohol to clean the adhesive off the display, be sure to not let it splash onto any unintended components, as this can weaken their adhesive bond.

    • If you replaced the screen, check the screen's front-facing camera hole and remove any protective liners covering it.

    • If your replacement screen's display cable is held down by tape, remove the tape before installation.

    • If you are using a custom-cut adhesive, follow this guide to correctly apply new screen adhesive.

    • If you are using Tesa tape to reattach the screen, follow this guide.

    • During the boot-up process after reassembly, the screen will go through a calibration sequence. Do not touch the screen during this process, as it could result in improper touch calibration and create touch issues.

While this is an excellent guide, like the others here, I find the ending statement of "To reassemble your device, follow the above steps in reverse order." very much a throw you in the deep end type of scenario. Figuring out how to place the adhesives that come with the kit was very much a trial and error thing. They are not quite intuitive and I was unable to find any answers anywhere. In my first attempt, the two strips for the battery, are a mess. You never get a visual of how or where they are since you remove them by pulling tabs in Step 21.

Here's the deal with them. Two protective layers, a clear oversized layer on one side, and blue cut to the exact shape on the other. Both sides are sticky. Once you figure out the placement, apply the adhesives by peeling the clear protective layer first. Line it up and firmly press. When ready to adhere to the other side, the blue layer is removed by 2 tabs that are part of the layer. Pull 1 tab and carefully peel it away and it should come away in 1 or 2 pieces.

Very frustrating that a year and a half later the tutorial has not been fixed to include the information you've given, or any more information at all.

It's clear that this tutorial is not complete when multiple replies have had issues with vibration, screens, and other functions, along with pieces that got left out upon reassembly. I had better hopes for ifixit since they offer a complete kit and boast they have tutorials. I thought the experience would be higher quality.

I followed this guide and successfully changed the battery. Unfortunately, vibration seems to be not working anymore. What could I have done wrong? Did I damage something?

To keep you posted: I opened it again and apparently bent the contacts for the vibration motor in one corner of the main PCB. So be also careful here when removing the battery.

There is a spacer between the midframe and the top of the phone that will fall out when the midframe is removed. This spacer is pictured at Google Pixel 5 Motherboard Replacement. When reassembling, first replace the midframe. Then, before screwing the midframe back down, use the tweezers to pinch the space together, compressing the foam in the middle, and slide it into place.
