Description:

Steps:

1. Use a heated iOpener, hair dryer, or heat gun to soften the adhesive securing the long, black rubber cover below the front camera assembly.
2. Use tweezers or your fingers to pry up and remove the cover from the right side. Work slowly to avoid tearing it—it'll be reused later.
3. Leave the smaller rubber cover to the left of the front camera assembly in place.

4. Use a JCIS or JIS 00 screwdriver to remove the four screws securing the front camera bracket:
5. Two 2.0 mm‑long screws on either edge.
6. The left edge screw is hidden by the smaller black rubber cover. Peel up only the loose portion on its left edge to access the screw.
7. Two 1.3 mm‑long screws in the center of the bracket.

8. Use tweezers or your fingers to lift and remove the front camera bracket.

9. Use the point of a spudger to pry up and disconnect the front camera module's leftmost press connector.

10. Be careful not to damage the sockets on the board in this step. The connectors are glued together and more difficult to disconnect.
11. Use the flat end of a spudger to pry up and disconnect the front camera module's two central press connectors. Insert the spudger underneath the top edge of each connector.

12. Use a Torx Plus 3IP screwdriver to remove the two 2.0 mm‑long screws securing the front camera assembly.
13. Standard Torx also works. Use T3 or T4 and apply constant, downward force to prevent stripping.

14. The front camera module has thermal compound underneath its left side. Leave it in place for reassembly.
15. Use your fingers or a spudger to pry up and remove the front camera assembly from its right edge.
