Description: Use this guide to replace your broken web cam...

Steps:

1. To remove the screen, start by using the black nylon spudger to pry off the plastic hinge cover. This allows easy removal of the screen cover.
2. Using the same spudger and your finger nails, gently pry the outer casing around the screen itself. Once it is 1/3 to 1/2 of the way removed, gently pull the rest free by hand.
3. CAUTION There will be popping/snapping sounds when removing. This is normal, just be careful not the crack any plastic or the cover may not reinstall properly.
4. Once the clips are undone, remove the cover and you are ready for the next step!

5. Now that the camera is exposed, disconnect the wire by hand to untether the camera unit from the motherboard.
6. To disconnect, pull to the straight back from the camera connection point.

7. Once you have disconnected the camera, use the small nylon pry bar to dislodge the camera assembly from the computer housing.
8. CAUTION The camera assembly is held very securely to an thin alloy backing plate. Pry slowly and gently as to not damage the backing plate when removing.
9. After the camera assembly is free from the backing plate, remove it from the housing bay hand.
