BLU R2 Plus Front-Facing Camera Replacement

ID: 144699

Description: Replace your broken or nonfunctional...

Steps:

1. Be sure that your BLU R2 Plus is completely powered off and has less than 25% battery left. This will lower the chance of your battery catching fire and your logic board/motherboard shorting out.

2. Insert your pick in the top left-hand corner where the little indent is.
3. Slide the pick all the way around the phone until the back cover is loose and ready to be released.

4. Remove the back cover and set it aside.

5. On both sides of the battery, use an opening pick to peel up the edge of the sticker covering the battery shield in order to expose the screws securing the plastic plating.

6. Use tape to hold back the battery sticker so it's easier to unscrew the plates.

7. Use a Phillips #00 screwdriver to remove the 9 screws from the upper plastic plate.
8. Use a magnetic mat to organize your screws and prevent you from losing them.

9. Use an opening pick to unclip the upper plastic plate from the phone.
10. Once unclipped, slide it up and out of the phone.
11. Be careful not to break the small arms of the plate upon removal.

12. Use a spudger to unclip the ribbon cable from the motherboard/logic board. Carefully use blunt tweezers or angled tweezers to pull the ribbon cable out of the socket. Then use the tweezers to wiggle the camera out of its socket.
13. Be very careful not to break the ribbon cable as it's very fragile. This doesn't really matter if you're taking the camera out as it's already broken.
