Google Pixelbook Battery (Back Panel) Replacement

Schwierigkeitsgrad

Moderate

Schritte

Zeitaufwand

10 - 15 Minuten

Einleitung

In this guide, you will learn how to remove the back panel of the Google Pixelbook in order to replace the battery. Since the back panel is heavily adhered to the batteries, it is near impossible to remove them without causing damage. We strongly recommend purchasing a whole new back panel/battery pack instead of attempting to separate them.

Werkzeuge

Schritt 1

Use the iFixit opening tools or a metal spudger to pry the rubber covers off the back of your Pixelbook.
Peel the linings off completely until the back of the Pixelbook looks bare.

After using the spurger to start lifting the rubber like cover at a corner, a two inch wide paint scrapper proved to be an easy way to continue. Using the scrapper at roughly a 30 degree angle (with respect to the laptop rectangle) allowed progressive lifting of the cover. Ripping of the cover tended to occur if only the narrow spurger was used.

The narrow rubber foot at the base of the display is supported by bendable metal. Be careful how evenly you remove it as uneven motions will result in a more bent and harder to re-apply piece.

Schritt 2

Remove the two yellow 2.0mm screws by using a T3 Torx screwdriver.

Schritt 3

Remove the seventeen 3.0mm T5 Torx screws from the bottom panel.

Just a heads up on “Step 3”: (not sure if maybe mine is a newer model since I just got it about a week ago) But there are only 15 of the T5 Screws on mine… Not 17. There are only 2, instead of 4, screws at the top of the picture (located at the hinge) showing the back where they are all circled.

I had the same experience as Jeff.

same, there are only two screws up top, not 4, thus 15 total

Schritt 4

Use the nylon spudger to pry the edge of the Pixelbook up until you can grab the edge with your fingers.
Open the back panel completely and lay it flat so you see the whole inside of the computer.

Schritt 5

Remove the yellow 2.0mm screw from the middle of the panel by using the T3 Torx screwdriver to turn the screw counterclockwise.

For me, these were T4 and not T3 screws (everything labelled T3 was a T4 for me).

Schritt 6

Remove the small, black casing by using the spudger to lift it up from its place.

Schritt 7

Disconnect the flat, black cord from the main component by using a spudger to push it out of the slot, or by using your hand to carefully pull it out.
Your back panel is now free from the main component.

Abschluss

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

Question; with the rubber pads removed from the bottom…is there adhesive and if so, what’s best used to replace those and make it look factory stock again?

Fabian Aldo Santiago - 16/02/19

The rubber pads are fixed with double sided tape.

Kornel Schwarcz - 24/03/20

I just use Isopropyl alcohol to quickly and completely remove any adhesive residue and use an ample amount of JB Weld and Automotive Bondo to get the unit ready. Use a wet rag to remove any excess adhesive. Do not fo0rget to centrealize the Feline Eyelash right at the longest point of the night and invokie MARDUK!!! AAAHHRHRGH.

So yeah basic Chemistry coupled with the ‘Dark Arts’ have created a sustainable situation.!

Where did you buy the back case replacement part?

Where do you get a battery for replacement?

Maureen H - 26/01/20

My battery health shows only 47.28%. where can i find a new battery for my dear pixelbook. help….

mohammed aslam - 01/02/20

Yep, that is the hardest question to solve. The device is too good to leave that. It works without a battery from charger for a time.

Kornel Schwarcz - 24/03/20

The battery is removable from the back cover, though !&&* of a job. Also fixed with double sided tape, plenty of. Use isopropyl alcohol and plastic card.

Kornel Schwarcz - 24/03/20

Yeah where can I buy the battery?

Brady Chord - 19/05/20

Got one on ebay

Kornel Schwarcz - 19/05/20

How was the replacement process? Easier or harder than you thought? Also, was the back panel you got a good battery percentage. The only ones I see only guarantee 75 percent.

Cody Hammer - 18/12/20

I replaced with a new battery, check the ebay link provided or search for Pixelbook COA battery. Getting the battery off from the aluminium plate is harsh, but can be done with patience, a flat surface and some plastic card.

Kornel Schwarcz - 18/12/20

Got one that was pulled on ebay and did this. Works great now! Hardest part was finding a T3 locally. Found a set at HomeDepot for $10 USD. Walmart caries the double stick tape $3 USD. Used a spudger for the back and a small spatula for the front. Go slow and you can reuse most of the tape. The smaller back piece has a flexible metal core, so get it as flat as possible before you stick it back on.

Dustin Burckhardt - 22/08/20

Just replaced mine. Just search for Chromebook Pixelbook COA battery on Ebay, you should find them there.

Ed Bragg - 04/12/20

where do you get parts

Mike Gaitaniella - 17/03/21

Please check the comments. The usual source from ebay has disappearred, but you may find it by the battery code.

Kornel Schwarcz - 17/03/21

Question: Is it possible to charge the battery independently of the PB? Connecting the flat cable to a charger? My PB doesn’t boot anymore (the battery was fine before running to 0%) Now flickering keyboard, 1 x white and 1 x red led blink and no boot.

Just finished replacing my Pixelbook 2017 battery.

Ebay new battery $85.00

Lowes phone repair kit $35.00 (has all torx drivers needed plus spudger and pick)

Office Depot Scotch double sided tape (permanent) $8.00

Followed ifixit instructions

Took about 1 1/2 hours to remove the old battery and clean all the mounting tape. Went back together flawlessly.

Formerly the battery health was 50-60 %, now is 101.29 %

The old battery was destroyed by the time I got it off, but the metal back is still perfect. The two pieces of trim took a bit to clean but look fine. The new battery comes with all double sided tape already applied so its pretty easy to install. I did draw lines with a sharpie around the old battery before taking it off. Then after cleaning the back just laid down the new battery and reassembled.

Hey Guys, I am looking for a new battery and it is really hard. Following previous comments, I found a new battery with the label "LG A50"... I dig into it and found the LG A50 (LG Gram Laptop) battery have same layout as Pixelbook Eve battery. Could anyone with more tech skills take a look about it to confirm we can change our pixelbook eve battery with some LG Gram parts?

I hope we can find a new way to repair our excellent laptops!

I might have to do this now as my pixelbooks battery or port is finally bad after some light to mid use from it , I'm extremely saddened that I can't replace it or have pros do it let alone me finding a battery I'm ok with buying and using on my product .... I'm extremely dissatisfied with the short life span of this laptop and how hot it got only watching Netflix for 20 minutes or typing letters ... Not sure if I want to even repair it let alone get a pixel book go unfortunately

I replaced the whole back panel as per the instructions and it seemed to go great - didn't have any issues, but now when I try and charge it I get one white LED, one red LED and then nothing - just flickering keyboard on opening. Any idea what I've done wrong?
