Pixel 8, 2 or 3 years old, got a pink line on one side of the screen. Used it like that before I thought about repair, and it turns out my phone was valid for an extended warranty.

Drove an hour to my easiest repair centre, got it done with zero required documentation I spent hours trying to get an I’m now the happy owner of a shiny new screen.

I wish i could have saved the petrol money and fixed it myself, but at least I got a £175-ish repair done for free, and a fresh warranty on the screen to boot!

    I attempted to replace the screen on a Pixel 6a that was returned by an employee at my place of work.

    Didn’t go so well; I somehow broke off some pins of the screen connector on the mainboard…
