Just got accidental damage to my Pixel 6 Pro's screen and fingerprint sensor. Screen replacement isn't a problem but I can't find fingerprint sensor anywhere. Please help!
Question Help! Fingerprint sensor replacement. Where to buy a part?

Maybe ebay. That's sounds like a hard impact, the mobo may be damaged as well. BGA chipsets don't take high G loading or board flexing insults well.
Hmmm, isn't the fingerprint reader part of the replacement screen (see the disassembly video) ?
Nothing wrong with anything but fingerprint sensor. It was damaged during screen replacement. It's very fragile and glued to the screen quite strongly. Checked eBay, Aliexpress already. Found nothing.

No, it isn't. Screens are sold without fingerprint sensor. Other, more clever smartphone makers don't attach fingerprint scanner to screen. Google approach is unique, even where thereis no need in it.
Try connecting (or searching for) Google for an OEM parts distributor (that will be fun).
If the phone works as is less the sensor use as such until you can get the part.
That's a raw deal...
Can't see the way to ask Google itself for help finding the part. There is no such option. Using this phone without fingerprint with missing face unlock is a pain. Suggesting to sell the phone cheap ASAP since it still has some value. Pretty sure it will be a high demand for this part for the same reason. I see the listing for the Pixel 6 Pro with the same issue on eBay already.

And this is very concerning. The phone is on the market for quite a while but replacement parts are barely available. Usually Aliexpress is getting smartphones replacement parts at the day of release but not this time aroundoh..so sorry i dont know any other source..
