Overview
What this part is
On the Google Pixel 3 XL the power and volume keys press on small switches mounted on a flex cable inside the side of the frame. Drops, moisture and heavy use can damage the switches or the cable, and the buttons stop working properly.
This is the internal button flex cable. The outer keys are not included. If the keys themselves are missing or cracked, those need replacing as well.

Professional installation
How a technician fits this part
- Power the Pixel 3 XL off and remove the SIM tray.
- Open the phone carefully with heat and a thin opening tool.
- Disconnect the battery before touching any other part.
- Remove the parts covering the side of the frame and unplug the old button flex.
- Fit the new flex, line up the switches with the keys and reconnect it.
- Reconnect the battery and test power, volume up and volume down before sealing.
Check that the part matches the device before fitting it or removing any adhesive backing. Once a part has been fitted, it cannot be returned for a change of mind. Faulty parts are always covered.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Will this fit my Pixel 3 XL?
Yes, if Settings › About phone shows Pixel 3 XL. It fits models G013C and G013D. It does not fit the Pixel 3.
Does it fit the Pixel 3?
No. The Pixel 3 is a different phone and needs its own button flex. This part is for the Pixel 3 XL only.
Are the outer buttons included?
No. This is the internal flex cable with the switches. The outer keys in the frame are reused.
Is it made by Google?
No. It is a brand new, OEM-quality power & volume button flex cable made to fit the Google Pixel 3 XL, and every part is tested before dispatch.
Should I fit it myself?
We recommend professional installation. The Pixel 3 XL has to be opened with heat and the right tools, and the battery must be disconnected safely.
