Duration: 45 minutes
Steps: 7 Steps
This tiny digital camera is hooked up to the motherboard with a ribbon cable that’s hiding under some sneaky tape. Grab your metal tweezers and channel your inner surgeon to gently peel away the tape and lift out the camera. Steady hands make all the difference!
Step 1
– Let’s get your workspace ready. Find a flat, clean surface with plenty of light to make sure you’re all set for the job ahead.
– Time to power down your Acer Iconia A1-830. Give it a rest before we dive in.
– Disconnect any cables or remove any outer covers from your tablet to clear the way.
– Now, place your tablet on the workspace with the screen facing up, ready for action.
Step 2
– Gently slide your plastic opening tool into the small gap between the white plastic front bezel and the sleek aluminum back panel.

Step 3
– Start by carefully prying off the small clear plastic cover on top of the battery cable using a nylon or metal spudger. This is a delicate step, but don’t worry, you got this!
