Replace the defective battery of your Google Pixel 3.
In this guide, we show you how to replace your Google Pixel 3
defective battery on your own. This repair can help if your Google Pixel 3 crashes under heavy use because the voltage temporarily drops, you
can no longer charge it or turn it on, or the battery life is very low.
The repair is a bit difficult as the Pixel 3 has to be opened via the glass backcover. Removing the back cover is a somewhat more diffucult procedure, so plan enough time for it.
Do a backup before the repair, use a clean work surface and reserve enough time. If you are stuck at any point, just contact our live chat or write a comment on the corresponding step.
