Pixel Tablet gets repair guides and replacement parts from iFixit

Google’s partnership with iFixit continues on the Pixel Tablet with genuine parts available for purchase and repair guides on key components.

There’s the $199.99 Rear Case, in Porcelain, that’s expensive because it includes: three Microphones, Antennas, Power Button with Fingerprint Unlock, and Volume Controls. The screen also costs $200 with the 8 MP Front-Facing Camera, while the 27 Wh (7020 mAh) battery is $59.99.

iFixit offers guides on replacing the: Battery, Enclosure, Rear Camera, Screen, Speakers, and USB-C Port. 

The teardown is straightforward by applying heat to the display’s perimeter to remove adhesive.
