Follow this guide to replace a cracked, broken or non‑responsive screen on your Google Pixel 9a smartphone.
If your screen doesn't come with adhesive pre‑installed, you'll need replacement screen adhesive to complete this repair.
Note: Any repair can compromise the water resistance of your phone. Retaining water resistance after the repair depends on how accurately the new adhesives are applied and how clean the mating surfaces are.

Use a spudger and tweezers to scrape up and remove any screen adhesive from the perimeter of the frame.
-
Using some high‑concentration (>90%) isopropyl alcohol and a lint‑free cloth (or coffee filter), clean the areas of the frame where the adhesive was.
-
Wait for any alcohol to dry completely before continuing.
-
-
-
Before applying the screen adhesive, make sure you know how it will sit on the frame. If you apply the adhesive incorrectly, you'll need to restart with new adhesive.
-
Hold the adhesive above the frame to find its orientation. Use cutouts in the liner to help visualize how it will lay in the frame.
-
-
-
Peel down the top half of the large, clear liner to expose the adhesive—don't fully remove the liner yet.
-
-
-
With the larger, clear liner folded towards the bottom of the phone, lay the exposed top edge of the adhesive onto the frame.

Once the top edge is properly aligned, gently press down on the top corners with your fingers to secure the adhesive.

Hook the bottom edge of the screen cable cover into its cutout and lay the cover into place.

If you applied adhesive directly to the frame, remove that remaining liner, holding the screen up out of the way as necessary, without straining the cable.

Carefully flip the screen over and align it over the frame.
-
Once aligned, press the screen into the frame.

Firmly press around the perimeter of the screen to secure the adhesive.
