🔧 Repair Overview
Camera Repair is one of the most common repairs for Google Pixel 7. This repair involves replacing the damaged optics component with a new or refurbished part. The process typically takes 30 min - 1 hour and requires moderate skill level.
What You'll Need
- Replacement optics part (OEM or aftermarket)
- Precision screwdriver set (Phillips #000 or pentalobe)
- Opening tools (plastic spudger, suction cup)
- Adhesive strips or glue
- Clean workspace with good lighting
Step-by-Step Process
Step 1:
Heat the camera glass with a hair dryer to soften the adhesive.
Step 2: Remove the Damaged Glass
Using a knife, carefully remove the broken glass covering the camera sensors.
After removing all glass, carefully clean the camera lenses with a microfiber cloth. ***Be cautious of any glass fragments that may remain.***
Step 3: Insert the Replacement Glass
Beware that replacement of the glass can cause many problems, specifically with the new adhesive clouding up pictures.
Insert the new glass with the adhesive side up (unfortunately, if the adhesive layer faces the camera, the image will be blurry).
Step 4: Apply Full-Surface Protective Glass Cover
Put on a full-surface glass protector. Make sure that no dust collects between the cover and the device/camera glass.
