Just like our visions, the cameras of our smartphones fade, become blurry, or be damaged by time. No matter how careful you are, time will come when the cameras that you thought were perfect will become faded and clouded. Also, there are times when you drop it, and the camera just becomes slashed or damaged.
Your phone is good but the camera isn’t; you want to replace the camera alone and keep the phone, but how can you do it? Repairmen replace cameras but with a high price. In this article, you will learn how to replace the camera of your smartphones excluding iPhones because iPhones are delicate and they are needed to be repaired by professionals.
Materials:
Before anything else, you will need materials in replacing your smartphones, and the materials you would most likely need are:
Precision tools
A cup for the screws
A cloth
New camera (if needed)
Plastic opener
Case #1 if only the camera glass is cracked, not the camera itself.
Remove the rear case of the phone using the plastic opener. You can just use your hands for this but to avoid cracks and scratches, it’s best to use plastic openers.
Remove the battery, the sim card, and the micro SD card.
Unscrew all that you need to unscrew. Carefully place all the screws in the cup to avoid losing screws.
Detach and pry all the cables/connectors that you need to detach in order to get to the rear-facing camera (Wi-fi, front-facing camera, digitizer cable, display data cable)
Remove the motherboard.
Turn it over and disconnect the rear-facing camera cable to remove the camera from its place.
