If you’re experiencing issues with the loudspeaker on your Google Pixel 8 Pro, such as distorted sound or no audio output, replacing the loudspeaker can restore audio functionality to your device. Follow this step-by-step guide to safely replace the loudspeaker on your Google Pixel 8 Pro:
1. Gather Tools and Materials

– Replacement loudspeaker for Google Pixel 8 Pro
– Heat gun or hairdryer
– Opening picks or plastic pry tools
– Phillips screwdriver
– Tweezers
– Adhesive strips or adhesive glue

2. Power Off Your Device
Before starting the repair, power off your Google Pixel 8 Pro to prevent any potential damage or injury.
3. Remove SIM Card Tray
Use the SIM eject tool to remove the SIM card tray from the side of your device.
4. Heat and Loosen Adhesive
Use a heat gun or hairdryer to gently heat the edges of the back panel of your Pixel 8 Pro. This will soften the adhesive underneath and make it easier to remove.
5. Pry Off Back Panel
Carefully insert a plastic pry tool or opening pick between the back panel and your Pixel 8 Pro frame. Slowly work your way around the edges to loosen the adhesive.
6. Disconnect Battery
Once the back panel is removed, locate the battery connector near the bottom of the device. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove any screws securing the battery connector, then carefully disconnect the battery.
7. Remove Components Blocking Access
Remove any components or cables obstructing access to the loudspeaker, such as the motherboard or other internal components.
8. Disconnect and Remove Old Loudspeaker
Locate the loudspeaker assembly at the bottom of your Pixel 8 Pro. Disconnect any cables or connectors attached to the loudspeaker, then carefully lift it from the device.
9. Install New Loudspeaker
Place the new loudspeaker into position, ensuring all cables and connectors are properly aligned. Secure any screws or fasteners to hold the loudspeaker in place.
10. Reassemble Your Device
Follow the above steps to reassemble your Google Pixel 8 Pro. Make sure to reconnect the battery, replace any screws or components that were removed, and securely reattach the back panel using adhesive strips or glue.
11. Test Functionality
