Disassembly/Repair of the mobile device Google Pixel 4a (Google Pixel 4a (5G) G025N) with each step description and the required set of tools.

⚠ Before disassembling, do not forget to turn your phone off.

Use the ejection tool (aka Needle) or Paperclip. Push the tip all the way into the hole until the tray ejects, and then pull the tray of the SIM card out.

⚠ Pay attention! The tool must be inserted into a hole on the edge of the phone's housing. Do not press too hard. It may break the tray eject mechanism.

⚠ Pay attention! Disassembly has a maximum 3rd difficulty because the process begins with the disassembly of the display module. If you have no experience or are not sure of your skills, we strongly recommend that you contact a specialized service center.

We recommend using a special heating device such as a separator machine, heat gun, or heating mat. It will simplify the process. You can use a home hairdryer, but you will have to make a nozzle by hand or have a suitable one in the kit to gently heat and concentrate the heat flow in the right place.

ℹ️ The surface of the display module must be heated to soften the adhesive underneath. The approximate heating temperature is 50° C / 125° F.

Use a thin plastic film or pick for separation. To facilitate the process, you can use isopropyl alcohol. It is often most difficult to pass the tool between the parts to be divided. Choose the far edge from the FFC cables or buttons.

Do not use a lever or any force for separation that could damage the elements inside.

The process can be seen in our video entirely so as well as in detail, at the end of the instructions.

Carefully remove the bracket securing the display module connector.

Pry up the connector and remove the display module.

Using a screwdriver (Torx T4), unscrew 9 screws.

Separate the middle cover from the housing. Be careful. The fingerprint sensor is located on the housing and connected with a motherboard via cable, but its connector on the motherboard is pressed/secured with an extended metal cover. So, to get close to the fingerprint sensor connector, we need to remove the metal cover and disconnect the battery connector.

Using a screwdriver Torx T4), unscrew 4 long screws.

ℹ️ Be sure to note the location of the screws before disassembling. When assembling the device, screwing the screw in the wrong place may damage the device or its part. To avoid damage, the removed screws and individual pieces (as gaskets or brackets) must be laid out in the appropriate order, or the screws and their holes in the phone must be marked with colored markers.

Using a screwdriver Torx T4), unscrew three short screws.

Carefully remove the middle cover.

Disconnect the battery connector as soon as possible.

ℹ️ The Google Pixel 4a (5G) G025N model has a battery G025E-B with 3885 mAh capacity (aka rechargeable battery).

⚠ It is highly recommended to disconnect the connector to avoid possible short circuits during disassembly.

Also, try not to use a metal tool to disconnect the rechargeable battery connector or do it carefully.

Disconnect the fingerprint sensor connector and remove the housing.

Using a screwdriver (Torx T4), unscrew two long screws securing the loudspeaker assembly.

Disconnect the coaxial cable connector and remove the loudspeaker and a small board with antennas.

Pry up the connector and remove the front (selfie) camera.

Pry up the connectors of the headphone jack socket, cable to the small board. Also, the charging port is connected with the motherboard from the inside, so be careful.

Carefully remove the printed circuit board. There is no need to use a lever or try to reach the board by force. Make sure that nothing is getting in the way or holding the board.

⚠ Do not bend the circuit board when removing it or push tools under it. Unbeknownst to yourself, you can damage components or cables from the inside.

Disconnect the connectors and remove the assembly of two rear cameras.

Using a screwdriver (Torx T4), unscrew one screw and remove the charging port.
