APEX AP-GS918 Camera Replacement
ID: 40735
Description: If your camera has become scratched or broken,...
Steps:
- To begin, locate the two 4.9mm Phillips #00 screws at the top corners of the case and remove them.
- Squeeze the plastic opening tool in between the seam where the screen joins the plastic case.
- Begin separating the bottom of the case from the screen by carefully going around the whole edge of the case and slowly prying it apart.
- Be careful when separating the lids because the wires holding the speaker to the motherboard are very short.
- Carefully place the bottom lid next to the screen case. The power/speaker buttons should be visible at the corner of the lid. Remove the buttons with the tweezers.
- Remove the black electrical tape covering the motherboard components along with the black cloth tape covering the camera itself.
- Be careful when removing the black cloth tape from the camera on the top left corner of the tablet. The tape will likely stick and pull the camera with it.
- Locate the white and gray connector that's holding the camera in place.
- Use the black nylon spudger to eject the camera from its slot by gently lifting the gray clip vertically 90°.
- Once ejected, you may easily remove the camera by pulling it from its slot.
