The screen is broken or stays black.
Repair the Google Pixel 2 yourself with this detailed step-by-step guide. During this repair we replace the touch screen and the screen. You may have to take some small parts from the old display unit, depending on how the new spare part is equipped. We recommend that you visually inspect your spare part before installing it.
The Pixel 2 display is relatively easy to replace because you can remove the display directly and don't have to take the whole device apart first. When removing the display, however, it's better to take some time into your planning.
Run a data backup before the repair, use a clean work surface and take enough time. If you have questions, use the live chat on our website or write a comment.
