Hey there, ready to give your phone a new lens? Let’s dive in and swap out that rear camera lens like a pro! Time to bring your phone back to picture-perfect quality!

Step 1

– Slip your fingernail or a plastic opening tool into the pivot on the side of the SIM tray.

– Gently pry open the tray and pop it out of the socket.

Step 2

– Slide out the SIM tray with the SIM card from your phone.

Step 3

If you’ve got an iOpener, pop it in the microwave for thirty seconds.

– Alright, let’s get started with some warming up! Grab your trusty iOpener, a hair dryer, or even a heat gun. Heat up the front face of your device, making sure to hit all sides – top, bottom, left, and right – for a cool 60 seconds. This will help loosen up the sticky adhesive around the glass edges. Time to get things nice and toasty!

Step 6

– When you’ve got a decent gap, slide a plastic tool at the bottom, between the glass and the phone frame.

– Gently work the plastic tool around the screen, easing the display away from the body.

Step 7

Give the lower part of the screen a gentle lift! It’s clipped to the top of the motherboard and yanking too hard might cause a disconnect.

– Gently pull the bottom half of the screen with the suction cup while holding down the phone frame to separate the parts. If you need help, you can always schedule a repair

Step 8

– Now that the glass is off, take a peek at the top of your phone and you’ll spot a tiny clip covering the screen connection to the motherboard. Grab those tweezers, find the little crease on the side of the clip, and gently pull it out. You’ve got this!

Step 11

– Grab your trusty Phillips Head Screwdriver, size PH000, and let’s tackle those sixteen 4mm screws holding the frame together like a champ!

Step 12

Get ready for a little symphony of clips coming undone all by themselves!

– Give a gentle squeeze at the top, bottom, and sides of your phone to pop off the rear case.

Step 13

– Now that all the clips have given way, gently pull the rear case away from the frame that cradles the battery. It’s like giving your device a little hug!

– The battery is nestled on the backside of this frame, just waiting for its moment to shine.
