This guide will show how to replace the motherboard of a Google Pixel Slate (Model #GA00347-US).

For the Google Pixel Slate, the motherboard is responsible for connecting all hardware within the device to the processor. Additionally, it distributes electricity to the power supply and defines other components of the inner system, such as the memory modules, storage devices, and graphics card.

Indicators for a faulty motherboard may include a failed boot-up sequence, slowed performance/glitches, or overheating. If you encounter one of these errors, or any of the errors listed here, you may want to inspect your device's motherboard.

Prior to beginning this repair, make sure the device is turned off completely and disconnected from power.

The tool and suction does not work for me. The adhesive is too strong.

It’s so easy to crack the screen here. I recommend using heat to soften the bond and avoid cracking the screen. Ideally a heating pad ($$$), but a heat gun or hair dryer also does the trick. I’ve seen a temperature range of 80-90 C (matching specs from a heating pad). I heated a pizza stone to temperature to make a homemade heating pad. That worked to soften the adhesive here.

The adhesive is very strong, and they are not just at the edge. Some of them a little further inside, and be careful not to cut the speak grill.
