- If your Pixel 9 Pro's wireless charging is intermittent or not working, follow these steps to replace the wireless charging assembly.
- You'll need replacement rear cover adhesive for this repair.
Step 1 | Safety precautions
The battery must be allowed to discharge to less than 25% before commencing the repair.
- Ensure the phone is fully powered down by unplugging all cables.
Step 2 | Adhesive information
Insert an opening pick cautiously, no more than 3 mm under the rear cover.
- Measure 3 mm from the pick's tip and mark it with a permanent marker or tape a coin to the pick at this point.
- Separate the adhesive along the perimeter of the rear cover, avoiding damage to internal components.
Step 3 | Apply a suction handle
Attach a suction handle to the bottom edge of the rear cover.
- Carefully position it as close to the edge as possible for maximum grip.
Step 4 | Insert an opening pick
- Pull up on the suction handle firmly and steadily.
- Use the created gap to insert the tip of an opening pick.
Step 5 | Separate the rear cover adhesive
Slide the opening pick along the bottom edge to break the adhesive.
Do not insert the opening pick more than 3mm deep.
Step 6
Insert the opening pick at the left edge, then carefully slide it along the top edge.
Be cautious not to press too hard on the screen — risk of damage.
Step 7
Use a pick to gently scrape down the right edge, separating any remaining adhesive.
- Position the pick along the right edge of the device.
- Slowly move the pick downwards to release the adhesive.
Step 8 | Prop up the rear cover
Do not attempt to fully remove the rear cover yet.
- Lift the left edge of the rear cover using a suction handle.
- Swing the rear cover over the right edge, like opening a book.
Check the perimeter for remaining adhesive and use an opening pick to separate it if necessary.
- Prop up the rear cover with the suction handle to access the ribbon cable near the top right corner.
Step 9 | Remove the wireless charging assembly
Keep track of each screw and ensure it returns to its original location.
- The Pixel 9 Pro uses Torx Plus screws, but standard Torx bits will also work. Apply constant, downward force to prevent stripping.
- To remove the wireless charging assembly, use a Torx Plus 3IP screwdriver and follow these steps:
- Remove four 5.4 mm-long screws.
- Remove one 1.5 mm-long screw (note: this is non-magnetic, you may need to use tweezers).
Step 10
Careful handling required — risk of damaging spring contacts.
- Remove the wireless charging assembly using tweezers or your clean fingers.
