Steps: 6 Steps

Let’s get that rear camera up and running. If you’re an avid phone photographer who loves sharing moments with friends and family on social media, a working camera is a must. To access the rear camera, you’ll need to lift the motherboard first. It’s attached with a clip that you can release with your fingers or a tool, and then you can carefully pull it out. If you need help, you can always schedule a repair.

Step 1

– Slide your fingernail or a trusty plastic tool into the little gap near the headphone jack at the top of your phone.

– Carefully wiggle and pry the rear case away from the midframe, then lift it off like a pro!

Step 2

– Let’s get this battery out! Use your fingernail (or a plastic tool if you’re feeling fancy) to gently wedge it into the gap on the lower left side of the phone’s back. Then, carefully pry the battery loose. You got this!

Step 3

– Alrighty then, it’s time to put on your under-0 engineer gloves and grab that neon orange Phillips head screwdriver! Get ready to unscrew 7 whopping 4.0mm screws and say ‘see ya later’ to the rear case. Once that’s done, let’s grab our fingers or an opening tool and gently give a high-five to separate the midframe and your phone. Let’s take on this repair together!

– Now, gently pry the part of the motherboard that’s pointed out in the picture to the left, from underneath the part of the phone it’s latched under.

– You’re doing great! Lift that bottom panel off the back of the phone. Keep going, you’re almost there!

Step 5

– Grab those tweezers and give the vibrator a gentle but firm tug, pulling it away from the top panel to break that stubborn glue seal.

– Slide an opening tool underneath the top panel on the top left corner of the back of your phone, like you’re sneaking a peek!
