Specialist Hugh Jeffries deals with the assessment of the maintainability of mobile devices. To deliver his verdict, he took apart and showed the insides of a fresh smartphone from Google.
Disassembling the Pixel 7 is not easy, and disassembly is only possible by detaching the front panel. To do the procedure, you have to slightly warm up the panel to weaken the action of the glue. Remove the panel carefully, as there is a high risk of damage to the display or protective glass. To test Jeffries took two devices, so he could believe the possibility of self-repair.
After detaching the screen, the smartphone is easily disassembled, like a designer. The only difficulty can happen with disconnecting the battery, because it is securely glued to the case. Therefore, you will also have to heat up the device to loosen the glue.
To check the maintainability of the Pixel 7, the blogger rearranged the motherboard from the second smartphone and returned all the “native” elements. After turning on the device, it notified the owner that the fingerprint scanner could not work, and that he should contact the service center for help. At the same time, you cannot add a new fingerprint, but the face recognition system worked fine.
You can solve the problem with the fingerprint scanner by connecting your smartphone to a computer and going to a special site for sensor calibration. After that, you need to restart your smartphone.
Thus, Jeffreys found that repairing the Pixel 7 at home is difficult, but possible.
