Pixel 9a GPS Module

[odd folio]

Hey I would like to know where the module is and how to remove it to Renew it, I read somewhere that as indicator there should be antenna traces who can help me, I also offer money as reward. 😭

Why do you want to remove the GPS?

[odd folio]

I want to learn about the technical part more and step for step want to exchange every possible part

[odd folio]

And besides that why you’re asking that ? Who cares I need it for ? I asked cause I am searching help from experienced people not weird questions

This would not be the right server for this kind of help.

Besides if you're asking questions like that, I would absolutely not recommend making modifications on the board level. You will have a bad time

[odd folio]

You mean for technical questions?

[odd folio]

Im a beginner that’s no problem, mistakes will made and if I destroy smth I will need to replace it I mean that’s why I ask more experience people 😅

[dapper flax]

For specifically this type of DIY. I am unsure if anyone here would be able to help you with this type of query but you are always welcomed to try your luck.

Online there is no chance to find something, searching for days already yk not even replaceable parts can be found on Monday I’ll go to a repair store but I thought better I would give some money to private people as I give it to a commercial store

[real plume]

Theres nothing to replace

[odd folio]

Thank you, but there must be a way to deactivate it. ChatGPT says there is a GPS antenna a small wire fixed on the main board which I can cut to stop the chip from getting electricity or at least to disable the GPS function.

Dont do that lol just revoke GPS/location permission from apps

[fickle tusk]

Yeah it's not that simple

[odd folio]

I want to do that so the stupid average human can’t turn it on again yk 😂 so the only option for me is to disable it hardware wise

[odd folio]

50€ for the first one who can help me with disabling it hardware wise

[real plume]

Who the fuck is using your phone aside from you that'll go out of their way to turn GPS on?

[odd folio]

Well, it’s a friends phone not mine.

[real plume]

Don't touch inside his phone lol

[odd folio]

Lol 😂 already touched a lot he doesn’t care if I destroy it, but if you can’t help me please don’t tell me what not to do
