Introduction
Be sure to restart the computer and try any known software fixes to try to get your webcam working again before diving in for a replacement.
You also may want to purchase replacement adhesive for the display assembly, as your display may not stick together perfectly once the old adhesive has been cut away. Be sure to remove and clean any old adhesive before applying the fresh adhesive.
Be sure to unplug and completely turn off your device before you start working.
