Google has partnered with iFixit to offer a DIY repair program for Pixel phones, including the Pixel 7a. The app gives you access to step-by-step repair guides, as well as purchasing spare parts and tools for your Pixel 7a.

Parts available through the app include digitizer displays, back covers, batteries, rear camera mounts, and wide-angle and ultra-wide-angle camera sensors. Prices range from $36 to $109, and the screen is the most expensive part.

Besides saving money, repairing your own phone can help reduce e-waste. E-waste is a growing problem and by repairing our devices we can help keep them out of landfills.
