I had to refurbish mine a few times, the power button wore enough that it fell out, a couple screen replacements, and a few battery replacements. It’s not too bad to repair as long as you don’t carelessly put generic aftermarket battery adhesive over the fingerprint ribbon cable 😳 I have a bucket of pixel 5 parts at this point.
Replaced 2 power buttons that fell out, plus a spicy battery, but the screen was trying to fall out after that and when the button fell out again I just gave up
Hmm maybe I’m just lucky but I never had issues with the screen falling out unless I misaligned the adhesive or didn’t clean the edge enough beforehand. I use the black plastic piece in the ifixit kit that’s shaped like a flat head screwdriver to scrape the inside edge clean of goo.
I wish. Mine literally fell apart
