Introduction

The Lenovo Yoga Book X90F comes with two cameras, one on the top screen and one on the bottom. The bottom camera is used when the computer is in Tablet mode.

Before considering replacing the camera, check out the Lenovo Yoga Book X90F troubleshooting page.

Replacing the camera requires the removal of the bottom screen. This process will end up with you needing to also replace the screen. Be careful as sharp glass can become a problem if the screen shatters.
