I broke my phone worse.

我的问题

My pixel XL's USB-C port would smoke when the cable was connected and the plastic portion of the connection was visibly melted.

我的修理方法

I was successful in changing the battery charging circuit/daughter board but I accidentally sliced the digitizer traces on the ribbon cable for the OLED panel while removing the display.

我的建议

Be extremely careful when removing the OLED panel with applied heat and a slicing tool such as a pick. Do not force the pick in to deeply between the panel and the frame of the phone.
