I'm nearing a battery replacement on my pixel 8 pro. Which model were you working with?

Pixel 7a. To be fair, it was a screen + battery replacement. The problem was the adhesive that they use. I warned it up, tried to open it and the screen shattered into tiny pieces when I tried to open it (because it was cracked).

I also don't have a heat gun, so I had to use a Ziploc bag with warm water.

Still though, they make it really hard
